Overseas Cell Phones Explained
The average US Citizens cellphone operate on CDMA networks which are’t compatible with GSM networks. GSM is standard across Europe and while several carriers in the U.S such as T-Mobile and AT&T are considered GSM, but they work on alternate GSM frequencies (850 and 1900) compared to European standards.
EuroBuzz Cell phones are designed to be used anywhere in Europe and therefore operate on international frequencies. Our cell phones support the GSM 900 and 1800 network bands to enable roaming between different countries in Europe.
As an American preparing to travel to Europe you’ll have several options to rent or buy a cellphone. Unfortunately the typical American will rent off their current cell phone provider. This leads to daily rental charges (usually a few dollars a day), paying activation fees for it, and then having to pay expensive tariffs which vary city to city, and country to country, for using it. This becomes expensive very quickly before you’ve even used it.
All calls on EuroBuzz are just one flat rate of 79c/min (including calls back to the US). Buy a handset and SIM for $49 with no service fees, only pay for calls. Find out more our Europe Cell Phone offer.
