International Communications In America's Melting Pot
By Jim Headley
The number of foreign-born nationals in the United States of America continues to rise at a rapid rate. Many of the foreign born nationals in the United States of America have left family, friends, and business acquaintances in their country of origin. With America continuing to be the great melting pot, many of the foreign born nationals need to find ways to keep in touch with people in their home country.
There are many ways to go about this; each has their advantages and disadvantages. Perhaps one of the easiest ways is to keep in touch through emails over the Internet. This provides a cheap and simple method of communication. The disadvantages associated with this are that much of the intent of a message is lost in the written word and the message recipient does not get the opportunity to ask questions or clarification right away. It takes waiting to get to a computer, sending an email, and waiting for the other party to read the email and respond. This process can take days sometimes. Another disadvantage to emails as a way to keep in touch is that not everyone has easy Internet access in their area. Making a phone call seems so much easier.
Another way for foreign-born nationals in America to keep in touch with people in their country of origin is to make international telephone calls. The advantages to this are that a person can communicate the intent of his or her message easily and clarify any questions that the recipient of the telephone call may have. The major disadvantage to this is the high cost of making international phone calls. Sometimes the cost of making an international phone call makes it an unreasonable option. Another disadvantage to making international telephone calls is that the caller must consider the time zones of the people that they are trying to get a hold of, particularly when it comes to business calls. This means that the caller may have to call at an odd time in order to reach the recipient of the call at a reasonable time of day.
Recently there have been some new services that have come out that allow people to make international phone calls at a fair price. One of these services is international calling cards. These can be used from a landline or from a cellular phone. Today many people have left landlines behind altogether and opted only to carry a cellular phone. These international calling card, such as those sold by send global, allow you to call a foreign country for only pennies a minute. This makes calling those friends, family, and business acquaintances much more affordable. It also allows you to be able to call from your cellular phone at a time that will let you reach the recipient at a reasonable hour.
The company Send Global offers a free trial for their calling cards so that you can try it before you buy it. Send Global also offers customer support and calling instructions in multiple languages, not just English and Spanish. Now a foreign born national can call his or her family on holidays, birthdays, or just on Thursdays without having to worry about going broke in the process. If you are a businessperson who does business with people in foreign countries, then international calling cards are a great option to communicate with your business contacts. This way you can call them from your cellular phone and do it at a time that will have you reaching them during business hours in their country, not yours.
No matter what your reason for needing or wanting to make international telephone calls, trying out international calling cards is a good idea. The money you will save versus using a traditional telephone company alone is often enough reason for many to try the international calling cards. The international calling cards are very simple to use and Send Global offers wonderful customer support to answer any questions that you may have.
