Calls from Beijing and Anywhere are Inexpensive and Easy
With PhoneFusion One, there is no need to get a special global phone ormake international roaming arrangements with a wireless carrier in advance.Once the user arrives at his travel destination, he can stop in any mobilephone store (found almost everywhere in Beijing) and purchase a local SIMcard to put into his phone (SIM cards run about $10-$15). This SIM cardwill provide the cell phone with a local number. The next step is to logonto PhoneFusion One and update the call forwarding to the new local,Beijing number.
For PhoneFusion One customers looking to call home from Beijing, calls canbe made two ways. Using the "Make-a-Call" feature at the PhoneFusionwebsite, the subscriber enters his new local Beijing number and the numberof the party he is trying to call. Then, PhoneFusion One dials thesubscriber and connects him with the other party. Or PhoneFusion Onesubscribers can send an email message from a mobile phone tocallmenow@phonefusion.com. In the body of the email, include PhoneFusionuser ID, password and the phone number where the subscriber can be reachedlocally. PhoneFusion will call the subscriber back.
