Warning

Most International Cell Phones DO NOT give the same crystal clear call quality that the Mobal® World Phone gives you!

That’s because the Mobal® International Cell Phone automatically uses whichever foreign network in the area you’re in which has the strongest signal - so that you get the best call quality available to mankind, wherever you travel, GUARANTEED.

Amazingly, you get better coverage than most of the locals get! (How unfair!)

3. How billing works

  1. You order your Mobal® World Phone by credit card securely online or through our call center. Purchase and shipping costs are taken at the point when your order is confirmed.

  2. You then use your Mobal® World Phone on your travels, as and when you need it. Any charges for outstanding calls are taken either after every $100 you spend, or every 15 days, depending on whichever comes first.(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 ‘myaccount’ service).

  3. When you finish using your Mobal® World Phone, and all your outstanding calls have been billed, you will have no other charges, until you need to use your Mobal® World Phone again on your next trip.

  4. You’ll be able to review your account and statements at anytime using your online Mobal® MyAccount login, which will be issued to you after you've purchased your new Mobal® World Phone.

It’s as easy as that!

8. Are you right for Mobal®?

Do you match the perfect Mobal® world phone customer?

Sillouhette woth caption - Is this you?

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®.

  1. Having A 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.

  2. 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.

  3. You Want Peace Of Mind You’re Dealing With An Established Company

    Visiting this website may be the first time you’ve heard the name Mobal®, but we’ve been supplying cell phones since 1989, which is longer than some of the big US domestic carriers!

    In that time we’ve been recommended and reviewed in trusted sources such as TIME magazine, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and Arthur Frommer’s Budget Travel.

    In the international cell phone industry many new companies and services appear and disappear, leaving their customers searching for a replacement.

    With Mobal® you know we’re experienced and have a proven track record.

  4. You Travel A Little Or A Lot

    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.

  5. 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 the quality of popular services rate against each other

The better the quality of the service, the better the chance you'll be able to place that important call when you need to…

…after all, what’s the point of having a phone if you can’t use it!

Hotel / Public Phones
Notoriously poor connections with many dropped lines
Call back SIM cards
Use a third party connection adding a weakness to the line
Local SIM cards
Limit you to using a single carriers´ coverage you can use in each country
Your own cell phone
May limit the number of carriers´ coverage you can use in each country
Cell phone rental
Automatically routes your call through the strongest carrier in each area
Mobal® World Phone
Same as cell phone rental below but much more cost effective

The Mobal® World Phone was designed to be the highest quality service on the market…

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® GSM World Phone and keep it for life!

A chart showing that the Mobal® World Phone costs only $49 over a two week period compared with competitors: Rental Company 4 at $51, Rental Company 3 at $58, Rental Company 2 at $75 and Rental Company 1 at $80. With Mobal® you get the best service, lowest price and you get to keep the phone for life.
The Mobal® GSM World Phone is incredibly convenient...

Getting ready to go abroad is a busy time, but The Mobal® International Cell Phone is one thing you don't have to worry about.

If you rented an international 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® World 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

A chart showing how the Mobal® World Phone has no ongoing fees, compared to Competitor X at $800 and Competitor Y at over $1200, over a four year period.
This means that Mobal's International 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® GSM 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

The cost with Mobal®
  • Mobal® GSM World Phone - $49
    (works throughout Europe)

Total - $49

The cost if you bought local SIM cards
  • GSM cell phone without SIM card - $99
  • Local UK SIM card - $39
  • Local German SIM card - $60
  • Local French SIM card - $59
  • Local Italian SIM card - $49

Total - $306

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® GSM World Phone gives you the best coverage in the world, with service in over 150 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® GSM World Phone you don't face any of these problems

  • The Mobal® GSM World Phone never expires
  • You get your own international cell 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

  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 cell phone in America today

    c) You’re in expert company too — the Mobal® World 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

    Back to FAQ list
  2. Why Are Your Call Charges Higher Than Some Other Services?

    What’s your reason for getting an international cell 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.

  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

    Back to FAQ list
  4. Will The Mobal® World Phone Work Where I Am Going?

    The Mobal® World Phone has perhaps the best coverage of any international cell 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

    Back to FAQ list
  5. Are There Any Hidden Charges?

    There are no hidden charges with the Mobal® World 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

    Back to FAQ list
  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 cell phone companies that can tell you exactly what every possible call on your international cell phone will cost.

    When you’re using your Mobal® World Phone, your credit card will be billed every 15 days, or every $100, whichever comes first.

    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

    Back to FAQ list
  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

    Back to FAQ list
  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 international 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.

  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).
