When she's home, we talk everyday and its hard keeping in touch while shes away.I told her that she should blog when she got a chance and upload pictures so we could see them! But I still feel like there's something missing. I didnt know of any cell phone company that could help me stay in contact with her. I did some research to see if I was wrong. In doing my research, I came across Tracfone. They have a plan that's their international calling plan. I went on their website and found out how to call her. Once she responds to my email with her phone number, we can talk and talk! Here's how you do it: 1. Dial 1.800.706.3839, the access number for TRACFONE International Long Distance (From Alaska, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands please dial 305-938-5673 instead). 2. Choose the desired language (1. English 2. Spanish) Listen to the instructions. After selecting language dialing instructions can be interrupted any time and you can skip to sep 3. 3. Dial 011 + city code + telephone number (For Canada just dial: 1+city code + telephone number) Please note that if you use our FREE TRACFONE Frequent Numbers service, you will not be required to dial the International Long Distance access number. Please refer to the TRACFONE Frequent Numbers section in this web site for more information. it's awesome! And they offer this for over 100 countries outside the U.S. It's amazing how they came up with this concept. My best friend just went to study abroad in China.
