Using Palringo when on holidays abroad instead of making expensive roaming calls could save you a fortune this summer.  Although some mobile operators are reducing and even getting rid of their roaming charges (only in Europe if you read the small print) Palringo offers major savings in destinations worldwide.  Because we use your mobile’s data connection to send and receive messages the cost of a message corresponds directly to the length of the message.  That means a lot of talking, texting or picture messages for as little as fractions of a penny.

Just 1MB of data with Palringo can let you send and receive the equivalent of 4,500 SMS messages, up to 15 minutes of voice messages, and about 32 picture messages using a typical cameraphone.

With groups you can update everyone at the same time, and for the same cost.  So if you want to tell 3 of your friends all about your holiday you can send just one voice message, or one photo message.  No need to pay for 3 phone calls or 3 MMS messages, simply create a Palringo group and start saving.

But how much could you save? Imagine you’re in Turkey for one week, you make one five minute call home per day, receive one five minute inbound call, five texts in and five texts out.  That’s not excessive usage, but with certain operators on pay as you go it could cost more than £92.  On Palringo you could do this with the same mobile network operator for just £14. Plus as Palringo is free we won’t charge you a penny, the only charges you need to pay are to your mobile operator.

Making savings on your mobile when abroad may not sound very glamorous, but it all adds up.  And perhaps with the savings you make you can afford another holiday even sooner.  Make the most of your summer with Palringo.
