Keeping in touch while in Fiji can be very a frustrating and expensive experience without an international cell phone and Fiji SIM card.
Sometimes a payphone takes coins (But how many is anybody's guess!!!), other times a proprietary calling card and still others only a credit card will do with accompanying instructions that would take a week to understand.
Fiji cellular phone rentals can significantly cut down on the frustration of calling home while abroad but the airtime rates would bankrupt all but the thickest of wallets. Airtime rates for a Fiji cell phone rental can typically start at $1.50 and may be as high as $2+/minute.
Think you got a deal on your world phone and plan on doing some international roaming? With international roaming charges the airtime rate you will pay is out of this world.
The Fiji prepaid SIM chip is a quick and easy way to convert your existing world phone into a prepaid Fiji cell phone for Fiji and as discussed is more economical then a Fiji cell phone rental.
