Sprint Goes Global With New Samsung Phone

03/18/08 - 10:05 AM EDT

But, if you want to save money, you can purchase a local-use SIM overseas and use it in the Ace. That also means that you'll have a local phone number (so people there don't have to dial a U.S. number to reach you). It's a cheaper solution for people doing business in foreign countries.

Sprint is currently offering the Ace for $450 -- minus instant savings of $150 -- minus $100 instant rebate -- for a grand total of $200 with a service plan -- including its $100-a-month all-you-can-eat offer.

In my testing, I found the Sprint-Samsung to be a great solution for Microsoft Exchange users who frequently travel overseas.

Know What You Own: RIM operates in the diversified technology industry, and some of the other stocks in its field include Apple AAPL, Microsoft MSFT and Nokia NOK.
