Cheap International Cell Phone Rates

International calling rates from landline phones have been getting better and better. But how about making calls to other countries from your cell phone? Ouch! If you cellular provider even allows this, you'll pay a hefty extra charge for those overseas calls. If you want the convenience of cellular phone service plus the ability to make low cost international phone calls from wherever you happen to be in the USA, there's a special cellular service you should know about.

Venture Mobile is pay as you go cellular phone service with very attractive international long distance rates.
