If you have a mobile phone on a contract with a network such as Orange, O2, 3, Virgin Mobile and T-Mobile, it can pay to shop around to see if you can get a better deal with a free mobile phone and a good value rental package. There are numerous websites offering a range of contracts with free mobile phones, including the latest models from Nokia, Motorola and LG. Some networks change their offers on a monthly basis, so check the latest deals before making a decision.

When choosing a mobile phone, consider how many minutes of calls and the number of text messages you expect to make each month. Most networks offer monthly rental contracts which include free calls e.g. 500 free minutes per month and 300 free text messages per month. Once you exceed this amount, you will be charged at the standard rate for that network. If you regularly exceed the free calls or texts, you should consider upgrading your contract and pay a higher monthly payment with a greater number of free calls or texts. When you sign up to a mobile phone contract, you do not usually pay a fee for the mobile phone itself, as the cost is covered in the monthly payments. Some networks now offer 5 or 6 months free rental, or a low rental value for several months. Most contracts are for 12 months, and are payable by monthly direct debit.

Other factors to consider are the design of the phone, do you want a compact phone that will fit easily into a pocket or small handbag, or a larger mobile phone with a high resolution colour display screen. Some mobiles work with Bluetooth technology for safe hands free use when driving, and transfer of data between your mobile phone and PC. Many mobile phones have a built in camera, MP3 player or video player. You can also get free accessories with your new mobile phone, usually a black leather case, a handsfree ear-piece, and an in-car charger. So when your current mobile phone contract is due for renewal, compare offers with both the same network, and different networks in order to save money. If you have had a contract for 12 months, your network should offer you a mobile phone upgrade, so that you get a new phone. But as networks are always seeking new customers, they offer their best deals only to new customers, so you will probably need to change to another network in order to get the best deal.

Many people think it is just too much trouble to change network as they do not realise they can keep their existing number. You can usually transfer you existing mobile phone number when you change networks, so that you do not have the hassle of telling friends and work contacts that you have a new number. A good mobile phone retailer can arrange this for you.

Norway is situated in the western side of the Scandinavian Peninsula, and lies in the border of Sweden, Finland and Russia. This Nordic country is elongated in shape and includes the Arctic island of Svalbard and Jan Mayen. However, Norway's sovereignty on Svalbard, is based on what is known as the Svalbard Treaty. This treaty is not applicable to Jan Mayen. Norway has been claiming a lot of territories and amongst them are the Bouvet Island in the South Atlantic Ocean and Peter I Island in the South Pacific Ocean. The country also claims Queen Maud Land in Antarctica, where they have established the Troll permanent research station. The extensive North Atlantic coastline of the Kingdom of Norway is home to its famous fjords.

The Norwegian kingdom underwent many changes over the next several decades since 994 AD. Before that it had faced many invasions from the Vikings. Norway was drawn into an union with Denmark in the year 1397, which lasted for four centuries. Norway fought hard with Sweden in the year 1814 and resisted the cession of their country. Sweden invaded Norway again, but let Norway keep its constitution and accept the union under the Swedish King. Through-out the 19th century, the growing nationalism in Norway led to a referendum in the year 1905, which granted the country its independence. Though Norway remained neutral in the First World War, it suffered heavy losses to its shipping. Even though Norway remained neutral at the time of World War II, the country was occupied by the Nazis and was under their occupation from 1940-45. The discovery of oil and gas reserves in adjacent waters in the late 1960’s opened up Norway's economic fortunes. Referenda were held in the country in the years 1972 and 1994, where Norway rejected joining the European Union.

The population of Norway is chiefly concentrated along the southern coast and valleys, where the main cities, Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger, Kristiansand, and Drammen are located. In the extreme north, the cities include, Narvik, Tromsø, and Hammerfest. The majority of Norway population consists of Scandinavians, with Lapps and Finns predomination in the north of the country. Danish has been the official language in Norway for many years and Riksmål has been derived from this language. The state church is the Lutheran Church, but all other religion has their freedom to worship as they like. Norway has very high educational level and the leading universities are in Oslo, founded in 1811, with Bergen, which was founded in1946.

Oslo is the capital city of Norway. It is located in the south-eastern part of the country and has a population of about half a million of people. A Similar number lives in the Akershus, a county which is an hour’s drive from Oslo. Very few cities in Europe can be compared with this capital city and its surroundings, with business opportunities, educational and research facilities, cultural commitments and natural beauty, including its economic and political stability, availability of abundance energy, excellent communications, a skilled work-force and an exceptional quality of life. Subsequently, shipping industry and forestry were developed, which made Oslo play a major role in the country's economy and still enjoys this reputation.

The predominantly wooden city of Oslo was burnt to the ground in the year 1624. It was re-built on its present site by King Christian IV, and was named Christiania in honour of the King. This name was kept alive for 300 years. The capital city grew into a major financial military and administrative centre by mid 1800's. In days to come, Oslo would become an important city, developed into a major trading center, primarily dealing with Germany and Central Europe. Following Norway's unity with Denmark from 1380 to 1814 and with Sweden there-after, the country finally gained independence in the year 1905. A major arts festival was held in the city of Oslo in June 2005 to celebrate the centenary.

The climate in Oslo is surprisingly not as cold as is expected for its high-latitude. The average temperature in the summer hovers at around 20 Degree Celsius, but in winter the temperature goes below freezing point. It is dark in winter and becomes gloomy. Winter is the time when sports like cross country and down-hill skiing opportunities become very popular around the ski trails and slopes in the vicinity of the city. Summer days are long and the Sun briefly goes below the horizon and it never gets really dark. This is a perfect season where people are mostly outdoors, exploring the parks and the hiking trails, and, at times, relaxing in the beaches of the fjord. The dark and dull sub-arctic winter nights of Oslo has now been transformed into a city of active night life. With drinking laws becoming liberal Oslo's streets are full of vibrant life and its oil revenue has created provisions to support arts and culture, making it a thriving and animated city.

The Gateway to the Fjords, as Bergen is called, is the second and is the most attractive city of Norway. It has the most impressive surrounding of three mountains on three of its sides, with the North Sea on the fourth, dotted with islands. The city of Bergen was found in the year 1070 by the Viking King Olav Kyrre. This was quickly established as a town, with its fortunate combination of sheltered harbour and easy reach of its rich fishing grounds. It became Norway's capital city by the beginning of the 13th century and enjoyed the status until late 1200.

In early days of mobile telephony, cell phones were limited to prosperous few and it has now become a part of life. As per the statistics, in 1992 about 1% of the people living worldwide had access to this magic wonder and only one-third of the countries had cellular networks. Presently more people have cell phones compared to the number with conventional phone lines.

Let us get back to those days, when cell phones were not available or were luxuries and not a necessity as today. You had gone for visits abroad and you did not have a cell phone with you at that time. You had to use the telephone in your hotel room to call your business associates, friends and your family back home. When you went out of your hotel, people who wanted to get in touch with you urgently, just could not and left messages for you at the hotel reception desk. You knew that its just too costly using that phone in your hotel room, but you had no other option.

Then came the time of cell phones. You had taken yours to trips abroad and availed the roaming facility. Roaming provides you with the ability to automatically make and receive calls, transfer and receive data or access other services, when you are travelling outside the geographical coverage area of your home network. As you travel out of your home network, you are considered to be a visiting subscriber of a different network. This facility is supported through a roaming agreement between your home network and the network that you are visiting and this agreement involves commercial terms. If the network that you are visiting is in the same country as your home network, it is called National Roaming and if it should be a foreign network that you are visiting, it is termed as International Roaming. Therefore, when you are in a city in Norway, you are on International Roaming. If the foreign network that you are visiting is of a different standard than that of your home network, then you are on Inter-standard Roaming.

Which-ever might be the case, when you are in Norway, each time you make or receive a call, you are utilising the services of your visiting network in Norway and by the roaming agreement your home network pays the foreign operator. This what makes roaming expensive, where you are charged higher than normal for the calls you make and receive and for any other services that you avail through your cell phone.

There is a way by which you can save on your expenses. A pre-paid SIM card for Norway saves up to 80% of your expenditures. When you buy a pre-paid SIM card for Norway, you get a local Norwegian number and you are charged at local rates. All your incoming calls are free, no matter where they generate from and you do not pay for roaming. You do not have to enter into any contract with any service provider and you do not receive any bill at the end of the month.

When you buy a pre-paid SIM card for Norway, you receive a small talk time credit along with it and this enables you to use your cell phone straight away as soon as you reach your destination in Norway. As you run low on your talk time credit, you can replenish it quickly and easily. You can buy recharge coupons in practically any shop in the cities in Norway. These coupons are available in different denominations and you have the option to choose the value of the credit that you would want. Since your air time usages are pre-paid, you have the absolute control over the money that you are spending for the purpose and you can remain within the budget that you have set for your call expenses.

A Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card is a printed circuit board that is inserted at the back of your cell phone, in a slot under the battery. The circuitry in a SIM card has a microprocessor with memory. It is a smart card that renders your cell phone intelligent and enables you to make and receive calls and utilise other facilities provided by mobile services. SIM cards are meant for operation with Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM). It holds your personal identity in form of your SIM card number, your calling plan, the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) of your mobile phone and other security details. As you switch on your phone, the information is transmitted to the nearest tower of the network in the country that you are visiting. This is then matched with the information available in the database of operator. Your cell phone gets logged into the network as soon as the details have been checked and found to be correct. A SIM card also holds your address book, in which you can store the names and phone numbers of the people that you frequently get in touch with. It also logs your incoming and outgoing calls and even those calls which you fail to answer. These are logged along with their relative time and date.

Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) is the first open architecture digital technology. It is the second generation (2G) of mobile telephony, replacing the old first generation (1G) system. It was first developed in Europe and is now used over 214 countries with 80% subscribers amongst the mobile users in the world. GSM has four set of frequency bands - 850 MHz, 900 MHz, and 1800 MHz and 1900 MHz – which are distributed to different regions using GSM technology. Some of these bandwidths are commonly used by some of the countries. The networks in North America, Canada and few other countries in the Americas use 850MHz and 1900MHz, which may be mentioned as exclusively used by that part of the world. The major advantage with GSM technology is that, you have the facility to be in touch with the people anywhere in the world and make yourself available just about from anywhere in this planet.

The Republic of Philippines is an island nation in Southeast Asia, located in the Malay Archipelago. The nation comprises of 7,107 islands, with the total land area of about 116,000 square miles, which makes it the 72nd largest country by area. The modern people of the Philippines are mainly of Austronesian ancestry, along with good many Filipinos with Spanish, Chinese, American, and Arab ancestry. The Spanish started ruling the country in the year 1565, which lasted for three centuries, until the Philippine Revolution of 1896. In the year 1898, after the Spanish-American war, the Unites States gained possession of the Philippines. The Philippines was ruled by the Unites States for five decades.

Filipino culture has many similarities with the western countries. Most of the population in the Philippines is Roman Catholics and Filipino and English are the official languages of the country. The country became self governing in the year 1935, when Manuel QUEZON was elected President. He had the task to get the country ready for independence after a10-year transition. The Japanese took possession of the Philippines in 1942 during World War II, when the United States and the Philippines fought together from 1942 to 1945 to gain back the control. The country ultimately attained its independence on 4 July 1946. After the independence, 20-year rule of Ferdinand MARCOS ended in 1986, after a widespread popular rebellion ousted him and sent him into exile and put Corazon AQUINO as president of the country.

Corazon AQUINO went through quite a lot of coup attempts, which prevented the Philippines to return to normal political stability and economic development. During the time of the country's consequent President, Fidel RAMOS, who was elected in 1992, political stability was somewhat restored and he made significant progress with the country's economic reforms. The next President of Philippines, Joseph ESTRADA was elected in 1998 but was succeeded by his vice-president, Gloria MACAPAGAL-ARROYO in January 2001 for a 6-year term. Joseph ESTRADA was impeached on corruption charges.

The history of the Philippines dates back to 2500 BC, when aboriginal inhabitants arrived in the country from the Asian mainland. As from 3000 BC, wave of Indonesian and Malayan settlers came to the Philippines and settled down. Extensive trading activities were started with India, Indonesia, China, and Japan during the 14th century. .

The Philippines was first explored by the Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan in the year 1521. The island nation was named after Prince Philip, by a group of Spanish exploration party, some twenty one years later. Later, Prince Philip was to become Philip II of Spain. For the next 350 years, Spain retained the possession of the island nation.

The population of the Philippines was 76,498,735, by the census in the year 2000, which is an increase of 26% over the population counted in the year 1990. The Island Nation is the 14th most populous country in the world and is the third most in Southeast Asia. The people of the Philippines are mostly Malaya and the people are collectively called Filipinos. The Filipinos have their ancestral decent from Indonesia, though, through a long historical contact between the country and China, there are many from Chinese decent.

The original people of the Philippines were non-Malays, and they are known as Negritos. Today the Negritos are few in number and form a very small percentage in the population of the country. These people are mostly found in upland areas, such as, Luzon, Mindanao, Panay, and a few other islands. In the year 1971, an existence of few Tasaday people were found. These people are the previously unknown Negrito tribe and about 25 of them were found to be living in caves, like the days of the Stone Age.

Manila is the Capital of the Philippines, located on the eastern shore of Manila Bay in Luzon, and is the country's largest island. Manila is a thriving metropolis and the population of the city is over 10 million. The metropolitan area of Manila is also known as National Capital Region (NCR), of which the city of Manila is a part. The NCR is a large metropolis and consist of 17 cities and municipalities. The population of the city itself is about 1.5 million, being the second largest populous city in the Philippines.

Manila got its name from the Tagalog word 'nilad', which has the name from the flowering mangrove plant that grew in abundance along the marshy shores of the bay. During the 16th century a group of Muslims settled along the banks of the Pasig River and this settlement grew into Manila. The Philippines was then under the Spanish rule, who controlled the group of islands for over three centuries from 1565 to 1898.

Davao city is the country's melting pot of diverse cultures. It is the largest city in the world and provides wonderful shopping areas and night life along with many modern amenities. It has accessible beaches, with much supply of sea food and fruits. The city has air links to major destinations of the country and to the rest of the world. The most important of all is that the city of Davao is situated in a typhoon free area and has an all-the-year-round tropical climate, with sunshine by day and occasional rainfall at night. This makes the city an ideal place for business, leisure, agriculture and other worthwhile activities.

Cell phones have become a part of everyday like today. It has become almost a tool that we cannot do without. When mobile telephony was first introduced, cell phones were with only handful of people and only those were lucky enough to be in touch with the world. There were a few countries in the world which had mobile networks and very few in the world who could afford the luxury. Today, a cell phone has become the way of life.

During that time when you went for a visit abroad, you had no option but to use the telephone in your hotel room, to call your business associates, friends, the family back home, and booking and reserving seats at the restaurants and theaters.

When cell phones became as much popular as they are today, you had taken yours along with you, when you last visited abroad. Your cell phone was on roaming. This provides you with the facility to make and receive calls from practically anywhere in the world.

Roaming provides you with the ability to automatically make and receive calls, transfer and receive data or access other services, when you are travelling outside the geographical coverage area of your home network. If you have a roaming facility, as you move from your home geographical area to another, you become a visitor to the network of that area. If you are in the same country as your home operator, you are on National Roaming. If you are visiting another country and your cell phone is on roaming, you are on International Roaming. If this roaming facility is between two different standards, it is called Inter Standard Roaming.

In providing you with roaming facility, your home service provider has entered into a commercial contract with the network operator that you are visiting and in doing so, your visiting network lets you utilise its services, based on the commercial agreement. This is the reason why you are charged at roaming costs for the calls that you make and receive while on roaming. Roaming is expensive.

There is a way you can save substantially on calls when you visit the Philippines. A pre-paid SIM card for the Philippines saves you up to 80% of your expenses on your cell phone calls. When you buy a pre-paid SIM card for the Philippines, you get a local number and all your outgoing calls are charged at local rates.

Portuguese Republic, as Portugal is officially known as, is a country situated in the western most point of the mainland Europe and located in the southwestern Europe on the Iberian Peninsula. The country is bordered at the north and east by Spain, and the Atlantic Ocean to its west and south. The group of islands of the Azores and Madeira in the Atlantic Ocean are also part of Portugal. Since the past 3,100 years, from the time of earlier pre-Roman inhabitants, to the Roman, Germanic, and Moorish people, the country has experienced constant flow of civilisations. These people have left an imprint on the country's culture, its history, the language and its ethnic composition. Portugal, with its vast transcontinental empire, formed during the 15th and 16th centuries, was one of the world's largest economic, political, and cultural powers. As a developed country, Portugal is a member of the European Union since 1986 and became a member of the United Nations in the year 1955. It is also a founder member of economic, political, and cultural power.

Due to the destruction of Lisbon in 1735 by an earthquake, its occupation during the Napoleonic Wars, and the independence of Brazil, being one of its colony, Portugal lost much of its world power which it gained during the 15th to the 16th century. The monarchy in Portugal was deposed during a revolution in the year 1910, when, repressive government ruled the country for the next six decades. A military coup, in the year 1974, brought in broad democratic reforms. Portugal granted independence to all its African colonies in the year 1975.

The Iberian Peninsula shares its history with Portugal. The region has been visited by Phoenicians and Carthaginians. The Celts settled in the region and was incorporated in the Roman Empire. The Visigoths settled again and consequently the region was conquered by the Muslims. In 1139, the Muslims were defeated and this time is traditionally taken as the time when Portugal was transformed from a country to a Kingdom.

Portugal became an independent nation when Afonso Henriques, Count of Portugal, defeated his ruling mother and her lover and established himself as the sole leader of the country. He declared himself the King of Portugal on July 25, 1139. Portugal formed an alliance with England in the year 1373, which is reckoned to be the longest standing alliance ever made.

The Portuguese took to exploration when the country's soldiers sailed the coast of Africa, establishing trading centers as they looked for a route to India and its spices. Ultimately, Vasco da Gama finally reached India in the year 1498 and brought economic prosperity to Portugal when the country's population was one million. Brazil was claimed by Portugal in 1500, when Pedro Álvares Cabral landed in Brazil. Ten years later, Goa in India was conquered by Afonso de Albuquerque, along with Ormuz in the Persian Strait, and Malacca in what is now Malaysia. This way Portugal held the commercial trading in the Indian Ocean and South Atlantic.

The dominance of Portugal in this worldwide presence can be felt even today, with its language becoming one of the most widely spoken in the world. The Portuguese people had the privilege of being exposed to many different civilisations. Portugal is one of the oldest nations in Europe and as an independent Kingdom since the year 1143, Portugal established its continental frontiers in 1297.

Portugal has been the attraction of many tourists owing to its natural advantages of a sunny country with such diverse geographic features. It is one of the best places to enjoy water sports and playing golf, with the country offering modern tourism facilities, and a pleasing personalised means of accommodation with privately owned homes ranging from wonderful farmhouses to manor houses.

Lisbon is called the "the town of the seven hills”, and when you visit Lisbon, the capital city of Portugal, be prepared for up and downhill walks. Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in Europe and the quarters of Castelo and Alfama, the Belém zone and the Baixa, are few of the old memories of Lisbon's ancient history. The castle of Castelo de São Jorge in Lisbon dates back to the 5th Century, providing a glimpse of Lisbon's ancient past.

An earthquake destroyed Lisbon in 1755 and the grid-like downtown, or Baixa, can still be seen. You can find the black-clad widows pottering in tiny squares in the Alfama district east of Baixa, which remains as the memory of the Moorish times. As you go to the west of Baixa, you find the Chiado district bursting with shops, cafes and theatres, with the bars and restaurants lined along the district streets, next to Chiado. You will visit the site, west to Belem, where the 15th century explorers set sail to different parts of the world.

Fado singing and guitar dancing come alive at night at Lisbon's old quarters, an expression of the soul of the city's inhabitants. As you go downhill, calm waters of the River Tagus reflect the lights from the open-air cafes, bars and discotheques. While the night is still young, take the advantage of Lisbon's long white sand beaches, just a stone's throw away. Nearby, there are golf courses, a casino and the romantic town of Sintra. Sintra has been classified as the world heritage. It is a paradise set amongst the most beautiful landscape.

Before cell phones came into the market, you only had access to landlines, and on your visits abroad, you had no other option but to use the telephone in your hotel room to make your calls. Knowing that such calls from a hotel phone are expensive, you did not have any other choice.

When you had a cell phone of your own, you had taken it with you on your visits abroad. You had your cell phone on roaming. While you are using your phone on roaming, every call that you make and receive is charged higher than normal. When you move from your home station to another geographical area, you are visiting another network operator’s domain. If you move away to different area in the same country as your home operator, you are on National Roaming. If you happen to visit a foreign network, as the case would be when you visit Portugal, you would be on International Roaming. If you are visiting a network which happens to be of different standard vis-à-vis your home network, then you are on Inter Standard Roaming. Roaming provides you with the facility to use your cell phone to make and receive calls, along with other mobile usages, when you are travelling to a different network area.

In providing roaming facility to you, your home network has entered into a commercial contract with the network you are visiting. Each time you use your cell phone, you are utilising the services of the network that you are visiting. Considering the commercial agreement that home network has with the network that you are visiting, any usage of your cell phone is charged on the principle that your cell phone is on roaming and this is quite expensive. You are not only charged higher on your outgoing calls, but your incoming calls are charged at the roaming rate.

www.planetomni.com brings you a better solution. A pre-paid SIM card for Portugal would save you up to 80% of your expenses in cell phone usage. When you buy a pre-paid SIM card for Norway, you get a local number and all your outgoing calls are charged at local rates. All your incoming calls are free of charge and you do not pay for roaming. You do not enter into any contract with any service provider and you do not receive any bill at the end of the month.
