The FCC provides a list of tips on how to handle calls while
abroad. For instance, consumers should check in with their wireless providers

calls over the Internet on services such as Skype.

“What we are trying to do here is provide information to Americans
traveling to other countries so they can make informed decisions and be savvy
travelers,” Porter said. The commission also a has a world travel hub on its website, located
