As a member of the Club, you receive exclusive offers on Satellite Phones, Cell Phones and Global Phonecards from A&K’s communication partner, ekit. These offers and prices are not available to regular A&K travelers.
It is extremely important to consider how you will keep in touch during your trip, for safety and security reasons, to contact family/friends back home, to contact work or to be prepared for any unforeseen event. Below are recommendations and options for you. All communication options are pre-paid, so you can easily plan your spending. You can order all items so they are delivered to you before you depart.
- Satellite Phone Rentals: Recommended if you’re traveling to more exotic destinations, remote locations or areas where cell phone coverage may be limited.
- International SIM Cards: If you already have a phone that works outside the US, purchase a SIM card to use in your existing phone, and take advantage of low international call rates.
- International Cell Phones for Purchase: If you travel outside the US once or more per year, we recommend purchasing your own international cell phone.
- International Cell Phones for Rent: If you travel outside the US infrequently, we recommend renting an international cell phone.
- Global Phonecards: You will receive a Global Phonecard with free calling time ready to use in your final documentation mailing. We recommend using this in typical international destinations in Europe, Australia, Mexico and Canada. For other destinations, please consider a Cell Phone or Satellite Phone.
- Online Travel Journal: Family/friends log-in to share in your travel adventure. An Online Travel Journal is included with a Global Premium, Passport or Passport Plus cell phone package or SIM card from ekit, and provides an automatically-updated record of your trip based on where you use your ekit phone.
