Will You Rent A Phone When Travelling Abroad?
Not me. Not in my wildest imaginations. Not for people who frequently fly from one “telecom island” to another either — it will be much cheaper for these people to simply purchase phones for each “island”. So who are the people likely to patronize such services?
There once was a big market for these services, but I don’t think this market is significant anymore … as cellphones are so cheap these days, and there are even more and more phones coming on to the market these days that speak all languages.
