Why should I rent a mobile phone when travelling to the US?

If you are planning to travel to the USA for business or pleasure, you will probably want to consider renting a cellular phone.

Main reasons for renting a US phone are:

1. Many foreign phones simply don’t work in the US.
2. If your home-country cell phone does operate in the US, the roaming charges may be extremely high.
3. Many areas in the US have limited or no coverage by certain cellular companies. When you rent a US phone, you can select one that is guaranteed to work in the cities/states you plan on travelling to.
