New National Geographic Duet Travel Phone Available

Nonprofit scientific and educational organization National Geographic and Cellular Abroad announced recently the release of a new mobile phone, the National Geographic Duet Travel Phone, which is meant to fulfill the needs of any international traveler. First and foremost we should mention the fact that the device comes with support for two SIM cards at the same time, but this is not the only feature.

we can also count Bluetooth connectivity, FM radio, TV support and a photo snapper, as well as a microSD memory card slot, with a 1GB memory card included. At the same time, the new mobile phone comes pre-loaded with National Geographic content, such as ringtones and wallpapers, in addition to the travel-related videos taken directly from the National Geographic Channel.

The Duet comes to the market with the organization’s pay-as-you-go National Geographic Travel SIM card, which offers users affordable calling in 185 countries, as well as free incoming calls in more than 80 countries, not to mention 30 minutes of outgoing call credit. In addition, users will also be able to insert another SIM card into the device, so that they will enjoy secondary services. Moreover, they will also benefit from 24/7 toll-free U.S.-based customer service directly on the handset through a three-digit access number.

“Our service offers comparable international coverage to carriers such as Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T, but at a fraction of the cost. In today’s economic environment, there is good reason to utilize National Geographic’s international cellular service when traveling,” said Sebastian Harrison, president of Cellular Abroad Inc. “The unique features of the new Duet handset perfectly complement the equally unique qualities of the service.”

Those who would like to purchase the new National Geographic Duet Travel Phone can find it available online on Cellular Abroad's website, at Amazon.com, at Expansys-USA and at various other retailers. Those interested only in the National Geographic Travel SIM card, in case they already have a device that supports international use, will be offered such an option.
