Phone Sharing

International roaming or renting a phone service for a trip abroad can be quite a tiresome process. This is especially true when you have a locked phone and can’t use an international SIM with it. The Public Mobile Phone System is much like the share-a-bike system, where you have a communal pool of phones, waiting to be rented. Use and return them back to the rental kiosk, when you’re headed back home. Problem solved!
