以色列新应用“杀死”国际漫游费

据美联社报道，以色列新创公司Cell Buddy希望解决国际旅行者普遍害怕的一个问题：在国外使用手机会出现大量漫游费。该公司将发布一个应用程序，让所有智能手机都可使用当地的网络和服务计划。使用Cell Buddy的应用，旅行者可选择数十个国家运营商的电话和流量计划，因此他们只要支付当地服务费用，而不是国内运营商的服务费用。该应用将在明年推出，具体工作原理如下。客户使用Cell Buddy提供的通用SIM卡，在到达目的地后，打开手机并启动Cell Buddy应用。

该应用会自动寻找当地运营商服务，旅行者可自己对比价格、流量包、下载速度以及其他条件。旅行者随后会被分配一个当地电话号码，而回国后他们可用同一张SIM卡恢复原先的号码。不同有个问题是：Cell Buddy的SIM卡只能用无锁的手机，对于有合约限制的手机不能用。

有了Cell Buddy的卡，旅行者不再需要提前预定漫游计划，或在机场排队购买当地SIM卡。更重要的是，旅行者不再需要支付昂贵的漫游费。漫游费用的利润非常高。以色列Telecom News的编辑估计，全球运营商每年的漫游收入达到500亿美元。

Cell Buddy并非第一家瞄准漫游费的公司。今年10月美国运营商T-Mobile免除了100多个国家的短信和流量漫游费，并将很多国际长途电话的费用限制在20美分/分钟。英国运营商3公司也开始限制漫游费。另外多家公司销售了全球版SIM预付费卡。
