Ready-2-Go Travel Kit -- making overseas calls easy on your wallet

Mobile phone calls during vacations can cost a bomb, so a Singaporean couple found a way to better use that money by creating the Ready-2-Go Travel Kit.

Ready-2-Go Travel Kit
Now you can call your loved ones while you're wearing some silly shirt on an exotic beach -- that is if you don't drop your phone in the water.

In this day and age, hardly anyone can live without their mobile phone which makes it hard for us when we travel overseas because auto-roaming charges are pretty damn high. Many of us end up buying a local SIM card at our holiday destination. This can lead to a foreign number which may confuse the recipient of your calls. Don’t forget the inconvenience of switching between phones or SIM cards to check your messages.

William Soo and Jenny Yi have found a solution to expensive auto-roaming charges with the Ready-2-Go Travel Kit. All you do is forward incoming calls from your local number to the given number in your Ready-2-Go Travel Kit. This way, your friends and family from Singapore need only to dial your Singapore number to reach you while you're on vacation -- saving you from expensive auto-roam phone bills when you do get back from that shopping trip in Bangkok.

As of now, SIM cards for Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Philippines, USA and the UK are available.
