Cell Phones in Greece: Greece Travel-Phones

Travel secure and in-touch with a cell-phone pre-programed with your personal and professional contacts, travel agents, hotels and help... and know your phone number in Greece before you leave home....

Think of the Advantages:

  • You have your own number so it is easy for people to contact you anytime. Children, relatives, friends or business.
  • No Outrageous phone bills from hotels when you call home.
  • No surprises on your telephone credit card.
  • No need to figure out how the pay-phone system works or to search for phone booths.
  • You are not charged for incoming calls as long as the phone is in Greece.  People who call you pay the normal rate for a regular phone call to Greece.   There are no extra charges for the caller.
  • No roaming charges whatsoever inside Greece.  Roaming charges are applied only when the phone is taken outside of Greece.  (For example, in Turkey, Italy, France, or any other European country the phone will be able to receive incoming calls but you are charged Euros 0.70 per minute.
  • No need to sit in your hotel waiting for a call from America because of the difference in time-zones.
  • You can book your trip as you go, calling your local travel agent who can find you hotels on your next island.
  • Your phone comes with a guided tour service for over 40 important archaeological sites throughout Greece. Let's say that you are on Santorini. If you dial the number "1230" you will hear a short description of Ancient Thera which will help you to view the ruins with a more educated eye.  (Note that this service costs Euros 0.39 per minute, which is deducted from your phone's pre-paid for calling time.)
  • You will receive your phone number before your departure, so you can leave it on your answering machine at home.
  • You are accessible 24 hours a day even in the most remote Greek Island or village. Your family, friends and associates can find you at any time.


    .....And if you want to be out of reach, turn off your phone and get messages from the 24-hour voice mail service..

How it works:

  • Greece, cell phones, mobile phones, cellular phones, telephones in Greece Just send us an e-mail message to:  greecetravelphones@hotmail.comand we will send you a form to fill out and answer any specific questions you might have.
  • You can pay in advance through Paypal or by mailing to us a money order or certified bank draft which entitles you to send up to 12 names and numbers of people you want programmed into your phone, (we can teach you how to add more later if you need to) or you can pay by cash upon delivery at your hotel.
  • We will deliver your phone to you at your hotel in the Athens area for FREE or we can deliver your phone to any hotel anywhere else in Greece for a small Euro 15.00 fee.
  • Our phones are "pay-as-you-go" type card phones.  Normally, this means that you need to buy calling time, install it into your phone and then place your calls.  Then, as you run out of calling time, you can buy and add more.  But, for our customer's convenience, we deliver the standard phone with Euros 60.00 worth of outgoing calling time (approximately 100 minutes of international calls) for which you are required to pay for in advance.  Most of our clients use much less outgoing calling time.  When you return the phone, we refund to you whatever left over calling time is still on the phone's credit balance.  Consequently you will ultimately only actually pay for the calls that you make at a rate of Euros 0.59 per minute for calls to the U.S., Canada, Australia, or most European countries, and Euros 0.39 per minute for local calls to any Greek land line or Greek cell phone anywhere in Greece.
  • There is always an operator available for assistance 24 hours a day in English.
  • The phone comes charged and ready to go and you can send us a dozen or so names and numbers of your family, friends, travel agent etc so that we can  pre-program them into it.

The Cost: We rent to our customers a cellular phone for a flat fee of EUROS 79.00 for the typical rental period of 2 weeks. Beyond those 14 days our rate drops to Euros 3.00 per day.  (For example, a phone rental of 3 weeks and 3 days would cost Euros 79.00 + 3.00 X 10 = Euros 109.00)
