Do you match the perfect Mobal® world phone customer?
Before you choose Mobal® , make sure it's the right service for you by seeing if you match the type of traveler we've developed this service specifically for.
That way we'll both know you're going to be happy choosing Mobal®
-
Having A Travel Phone That Works When You Need It Is Your #1 Priority
We value your call quality as our top priority. After all, if your phone has problems when you need it most, what's the point in having one at all?
Many other services focus on getting the cheapest rates available, but this always compromises the quality of the service as to get lower rates, the technology behind everything always has to be botched or over-complicated.
At Mobal® we always look to get you the best deal, but never when it compromises your ability to place calls, leaving you stranded.
-
You Want A Service That Is Easy To Use
Second to having the best quality service, you want to be able to use your phone easily too. New gadgets can be complicated at the best of times, especially when you have to overcome the complexities of overseas dialing codes and unfamiliar telephone number formats.
At Mobal® we've chosen what we believe is the easiest system, which works in the same format wherever in the world you are — you never need to fiddle or set up your phone differently if you visit different countries — your Mobal® World Phone works seamlessly as you cross borders.
-
You Want Peace Of Mind You're Dealing With An Established Company
With Mobal® it doesn't matter if you travel every month or every few years. Because you pay only for the calls you make, and NO extra fees or minimum usage requirements, the cost of ownership is the same regardless of your travel plans - ZERO - when you're not using the phone it doesn't cost you a penny.
That means if you bought the Mobal® World Phone for emergencies only, and never needed to make a call, it wouldn't cost you anything but be there ready for when you do need.
-
You Travel For Business, Leisure or Both
The Mobal® World Phone is perfectly suited to both types of travel because our number 1 focus is on the quality of calls. So assuming you value actually being able to place your calls when you need to, then the Mobal® World Phone's perfect for you.
Plus, you get free itemized billing, which I guess is an extra bonus for business travelers!
So, if you can identify with those characteristics, you can be sure that the Mobal® World Phone is the right service for you! Plus, you get a 60-day money back guarantee, just in case you were wrong!

9. Mobal® compared to other services
How you benefit from buying instead of renting an international cell phone...
International Cell Phone rental is geared to benefit the rental companies and not you! Just see how after two weeks renting, you could easily buy The Mobal® World Phone and keep it for life!
The Mobal® World Phone is incredibly convenient...
Getting ready to go abroad is a busy time, but The Mobal® International Phone is one thing you don't have to worry about. If you rented a cell phone every time you traveled you would have to deal with all the hassles of the rental procedure; the deposits, deliveries, returns and credit checks — the last things you need to think about!
Instead, The Mobal® Travel Phone is very different. In between your trips, you can keep it in your drawer until you need it. When you do need it, you can just charge it up, switch it on, and you're ready to go.
Because there's no commitment to pay anything except for your calls, your new phone will not cost you a cent until you use it again on your next vacation.
Beware of World Phones with ongoing fees...
This means that Mobal's Cell Phone is the smart choice, even if you only travel once a year...
Because you only pay-per-call, and there are no other charges, The Mobal® World Phone is perfect if you travel every month and need to use it everyday, or just once a year and need it in case of an emergency.
A word about local SIM cards.
You may have read that the cheapest way to use cell phones abroad is to buy local SIM cards so you can pay local call rates, but have you overlooked the actual cost to buy a cell phone and local SIM cards in the first place?
For a trip to Europe.
As you can see, with local SIM cards you have to buy a new one for each country you travel to, the costs can add up fast. And that is if the country you are traveling to even provides a local SIM card service. The Mobal® World Phone gives you the best coverage in the world, with service in over 170 countries!
Other disadvantages of local SIM cards that you may have overlooked.
-
It expires after non-use
-
You have to change your phone number in each country
-
There's no itemized billing
-
There's a risk of running out of talktime
-
Frustrating to buy talk time in foreign country
-
Foreign language customer support
When you buy The Mobal® World Phone you don't face any of these problems.
-
The Mobal® World Phone never expires
-
You get your own international phone number for life, it does not matter where in the world you are, your friends, family and colleagues always dial the same number to reach you
-
You get free online statements
-
The service will never run out of credit
-
You can always call our friendly English-speaking customer service from anywhere in the world

2.Why Are Your Call Charges Higher Than Some Other Services?
-
10.What Are The Shipping Details For The Mobal® World Phone?
1. Who Are Mobal® ?
If you've never heard of Mobal® before, here are some of the facts about us:
a) Mobal® is one of the world's longest running cell phone providers and was founded in 1989 (consider that Cingular was only founded in 2001, Verizon in 2000 and T-Mobile in 1995 and that puts our long history into perspective!)
b) You're in good company — the Mobal® World Phone is the best selling international phone in America today
c) You're in expert company too — the Mobal® Travel Phone has been endorsed by major travel and media experts like TIME magazine, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post, MSNBC, and The Travel Insider.
As you can see, we're a well-established company with a proven reputation.
I was worried is Mobal® trustworthy? Many cell phone vendors are quick with the bait & switch, and are not straightforward with charges.
Your salesman was very clear about the costs and left the decision to me. That speaks well for your company.
Marcus Napier
2. Why Are Your Call Charges Higher Than Some Other Services?
What's your reason for getting an international phone?
a) So you can have the cheapest calls available, but not worry if your phone sometimes doesn't work, and it creates extra hassle?
b) So you can have the easiest to use and best quality service to guarantee that when you need your phone most, it will have the best chance of working?
We decided B was the most important service to provide, but to do this we have to use a more expensive system. Other services that offer cheaper call rates can only do so because they have taken short cuts with the quality or convenience of using them.
If you want the worry and the hassle taken out of using international cell phones, you need to pick the Mobal® World Phone.
Let me first say that this is the 'best' value of anything I've purchased in years. I'm very happy with the phone and plan to use it frequently. Thank you, and best regards.
Robert Estes
3. Will The Call Quality Be Any Good?
As you've read above, using the Mobal® World Phone you'll actually have access to more carriers in each country than even the locals will.
What this means for you is that when you use your Mobal® World Phone, it will automatically log onto the strongest signal to make your call - so your Mobal® World Phone will probably have a better quality connection than the people around you!
Here's a survey reply from one of our customers…
My phone worked great no matter where I called from…the plane right after landing, my hotel rooms, or anywhere in either city. The phone was easy to use, and the reception was very clear. It sounded like I was calling from my home phone…no static, no cutting in and out, etc. Just nice, clear conversations with my family.
Kathy Webb Lodi
4. Will The Mobal® World Phone Work Where I Am Going?
The Mobal® World Phone has perhaps the best coverage of any international phone service.
Not only in the number of countries it works in, but also the number of carriers it connects to in each country - in fact, you'll get better coverage than many of the locals get, as they will be stuck using just one carrier.
Basically, if a local is able to use their cell phone, then you'll be able to use yours.
Here's a survey reply from one of our customers…
We first used it to call the U.S from Ethiopia. And it worked beautifully! Even though Ethiopia was listed as a country with coverage, I just could not believe that it would actually work there. We called our daughter (and families) in Montana and in Wisconsin. I called United Airlines in the U.S. to work out a flight schedule problem. It all worked.
Don and Nancy Hamilton
5. Are There Any Hidden Charges?
There are no hidden charges with the Mobal® Travel Phone. The only costs associated with the Mobal® World Phone are the purchase price, your delivery option and then the calls you make when traveling.
There are no extra monthly, yearly or minimum usage charges. Zip. Nada. Nothing.
I chose Mobal® because of the combination of lower call charges, phone price and no monthly fee. All of the features and options made for a perfect alignment for a great product.
Michael Ward
6. How Am I Billed For My Calls?
The price that we quote for the call charges is the final price you'll pay per minute. It's a simple as that. No other charges will get added to the price we quote.
In fact, we're one of the only international phone companies that can tell you exactly what every possible call on your cell phone will cost.
When you're using your Mobal® World Phone, your charges for the calls are taken from your credit card as and when we receive the call data from the networks. (These charges will be applied to the same credit card that you use to purchase your phone. You can change the card later using your online "my account" service).
I was worried about the truth in charges, both incoming and outgoing but it seems to have been as described, and I was very pleased.
Pleased enough that I recommended Mobal® to a friend who is now carrying one around India.
William Worth
7. Will The Mobal® World Phone Be Too Complicated To Use?
Being easy to use was one of the most important things when we developed the Mobal® World Phone - when you're abroad and need to make a call it should be as easy and stress free as possible. We take extra special care to make sure we only supply handsets that are easy to use, without too many extra functions that you don't need.
Plus, when you receive your Mobal® World Phone you'll not only get a guide book, you'll also get a very clearly explained Quick Start Guide, so even if you consider yourself the most technophobic person in the world, you'll still be able to use your Mobal® World Phone.
After recommending Mobal® to an elderly relative, I was worried about her being able to work the phone. She is not easily taught to use "modern gadgets" as she calls them, but she said I "love" my phone and am delighted I purchased it.
Tina Hamblin
8. Is The Mobal® World Phone Too Good To Be True?
Instead of thinking the Mobal® World Phone is "too good to be true", you need to think of it as "Mobal® has thought about every feature I need from my cell phone, and delivered it".
And this is the truth. The Mobal® World Phone has been developed over a number of years based on feedback and experience of travelers like you using it. That's how today the Mobal® World Phone has become the service that it is.
I shopped on line for a phone for my daughter to use while she was in Europe. After reading several endorsements from different sources, I decided to give the 'too good to be true' Mobal® phone a try. I am a cynical shopper, especially with phones, but must report that the connection quality was the best I have ever experienced - not a single dropped call, no cutting in and out, I spoke to my daughter in Italy like it was around the corner! I was very pleased.
Vince Careccia
9. How Do I Pick Which Mobal® World Phone Is Right For Me?
We have 3 main tips to help you pick the right Mobal ® World Phone!
a) Think about trips you may make in the future:
Remember, with the Mobal® World Phone you're getting a lifetime service, so also consider where you might travel to in the future. You may find it's worth upgrading to the Mobal® Classic World Phone now to be prepared for future trips.
b) Would you like to make calls in the US?
With the Mobal® Classic World Phone you can use it in the US going to and from the airport, so you can leave your domestic cell phone at home instead of adding to your luggage.
c) Would you like to make a test call before you leave?
Because the Mobal® Classic World Phone works in the US (in areas with GSM coverage), once you receive your phone you will be able to make a proper test call to someone. (There's still a test you can make when you receive your Mobal® Budget phone, but you will not actually be able to place a call to anyone).

Mobal's GSM World Phone costs just $49, and can be used in 150 foreign countries.
Calls are charged per minute, there are no monthly fees or usage minimums
The Mobal GSM World Phone has a lifetime phone number with no annual fee. So what is the catch? There is no catch. And it gets better. The international cell phone phone service can work in over 170 countries. This is a uniquely good deal.
I have traveled extensively throughout the world for over 25 years and have flown over 3 million air miles.
I must say that the purchase of your Mobal World Phone has been the biggest improvement in my travels, ever.
Also, Mobal is one of the few companies that I call where a live person answers the call and answers my questions every time! I have told all of my traveling friends about it.
Mobal's GSM World Phone works in over 170 countries with no minimums, fees or service charges. You pay only for calls you make. The Mobal International cell phone comes highly recommended by seasoned travelers.
The Mobal World Phone is worth its weight in roaming fees if you travel internationally. The only thing you pay for is the international cell phone itself, delivery and the calling fees.
My Mobal World Phone was a great peace of mind for our trip to Italy.
I was able to call my parents on their 60th anniversary as well as my father on Father's Day.
Additionally we were traveling with four other couples and the phones made it very easy for us to reconnect while in larger cities.
Thank you for your assistance.
The Mobal World Phone is the convenient option for people who don't already have a usable phone. It costs just $49 and works in 170 countries and comes equipped with a SIM card.
As a CDMA user from Verizon, I had to rent a phone and paid $4 a day and $2 roaming charge to be able to communicate with my key contacts. After investigating and reading the recommendations from the leading magazines and web reviews, I decide to go for Mobal.
Not only it is economical, it also brings a lot of convenience to me. I do not have to buy a sim card and worry about the unused minutes waste. I also saved the rental fees because I own the phone instead of wasting money on my rental.
I highly recommend this service.
If you are planning to go overseas, it works out cheaper to buy The $49 Mobal World Phone, rather than renting an international cell phone.
I got my Mobal World Phone for a business trip to Australia.
It's easy to use as there is no frustration as with trying to use a calling card from a hotel room, so the connection to "home" is always available. The peace of mind it provides is priceless.
Thank you for a great product …
Unlike many other phones, the Mobal GSM World Phone works well in over 170 countries, and you never need to change the SIM card. I recently used the phone easily (very easily) when calling the USA from Italy, France, Spain, and Croatia.
Hotels often charge high prices to use their phones, so I liked not to have to buy a calling card or even look for a pay phone. Having family members able to call you is also good for those of us with aged parents or children back home.
The Mobal international cell phone now sits in a desk drawer, costing me nothing, and waiting for its next opportunity to travel overseas. I'll just charge it up before my next trip, and we'll be off
I just want to say that I purchased my Mobal World Phone in the beginning of December and used it for the first time on a trip to Grenoble, France the week of December 11th.
It worked flawlessly and I was very pleased.
It certainly saved a lot of time searching out pay phones and having to pay for phone cards.
The lowest price I have found for a GSM world phone is through Mobal. There are no monthly or annual fees and unlike prepaid SIM cards, call charges are per minute in $US and are debited from your credit card.
One other thing stands out at Mobal.
Excellent and prompt customer service.
Mobal has ALWAYS been above par in that department. I've only been with Mobal a short time, but it has been long enough to make that conclusion.
Mobal's real people always answer me with the information I want. Rarely indeed do I have personal and informative e-conversations with a merchant's representative as has been the case with Mobal on more than one occasion.
That familiarity is very valuable and not at all the norm.
You do great, and you can tell your boss I said so!
The good news is that thanks to technology, staying in touch with home while vacationing in foreign countries can be easy. If you want to have the phone before you go, you can buy a Mobal World Phone, which sells from $49 (other companies are renting phones for about $29 per week), and then charges by the minute.
It can be cheaper than a prepaid SIM card because you are charged only for the minutes used. With prepaid SIM cards, unused minutes often aren't refunded!
It was 2am in China and I had to call back to the USA for an important call. I was out at a club and they were just closing.
I made the call with my Mobal World Phone and the meeting went well.
When I got back to the states, I had to go to Florida and visit that same client.
They loved the stories about China but the odd thing they remembered was that the call was soo clear that all they could think about was the Chinese they heard in the background and not what I was saying.
I guess when the call is too clear, you are not really heard, but I am glad to say it was clear and all went well.
Our best tip is The $49 Mobal World Phone. The best thing is that you can give your international cell phone number out to loved ones back home, so when you are traveling and they need to get hold of you they don't have to worry about what hotel you are in, or what city you are in, or even what country you are in. They just call your Mobal World Phone.

Review by Rich Carlson
Just thought that I would drop you a short note to let you know that having our Mobal World phones with us on a recent trip to Ireland was really a lifesaver.
We arrived in Dublin in a driving snowstorm but our luggage didn't. The airline said that they would ship it to where we would be staying. Since we were traveling and staying in Bed & Breaksfast inns, we couldn't give them a definite address.
We were able to maintain contact with the airline personnel (and vice-versa) through the use of our Mobal World Phones during our travels.
We really would have been lost without them.
The luggage finally caught up with us several days later at B&B that we were able to reserve in advance, once again by using our Mobal World Phones.
The Mobal World Phones will be a necessary part of our travel needs on all future trips.
This Mobal World Phone is a winner. In my view it is head and shoulders above phone cards. What a luxury to be on a ship going down the Nile and be able to make a international call (clearly heard on both ends).
After doing a bit of research we learned that Mobal's international cell phone prices ranked the lowest. We think that Mobal's international cell phone is the most cost-effective way to stay in touch with friends, family and co-workers in the US while traveling abroad.
I recently purchased 2 Mobal World Phones to be used by guests attending our daughters wedding in Italy.
The phones were indispensable.
For example; one of the bridesmaids had never been out of the USA and was very nervous about traveling on her own. She experienced flight delays, lost luggage, she had no experience taking a train, and the hotel lost her confirmed reservation.
Having the Mobal World Phone not only made it easier to notify others of the delays and changes in her plans but allowed her to talk to and receive reassurance from friends.
For a novice traveler being able to talk to friends was her lifeline.
My Mobal World Phones were definitely my best travel accessory purchase ever.
I will not travel again without a phone.
I was recently in the darkest of South Africa on a game reserve in a high end luxury lodge without TV, radio or telephone, but I had my Mobal World Phone and called my wife at home in Santa Cruz.
I used my Mobal World Phone all over South Africa without any problems what so ever.
GREAT PHONE!
Attached is a photo of me on an evening safari…it was so cold you didn't want any square inch of your body exposed…thus the blanket and sunglasses at night.
My wife and I took a Mediterranean cruise this spring for our 25th wedding anniversary.
There was a seven hour time difference from Italy to Baton Rouge, Louisiana where our girls were going to college, so we made several calls to them in the evenings Italian time. The picture attached is calling one of our daughters from the Saint Mark's Square in Venice while we listened to the cafe's orchestra in the back ground.
My daughter was very jealous!
We carried our Mobal World Phone during all our excursions. I also used the alarm feature as our alarm clock while on the boat and as an alarm to tell us when it was time to meet up with our tour groups, etc.
We were very impressed with the areas of coverage, quality of the reception and voice clarity.
It is much better than our cell phones we use everyday in Tennessee.
Thanks for making a great and affordable product!
I love my Mobal World Phone. I got it to use on a trip to China.
My fellow travelers had a bunch of phone cards that didn't work most places.
There NEVER was a place I could not call from and reach home -- clear as a bell.
I'll be taking it in June to Ireland.
We just completed a hiking trip in Ireland.
On a remote headland, we posed with the Mobal World Phone which was invaluable as it enabled us to check voice mails and receive communications even in these isolated locations.
