Customers Respond At&T

I just returned from my trip to the USA and truly enjoyed my TelAway experience. I had unlimited calling in the USA and back home (landlines and mobiles), unlimited internet, unlimited SMS, and to top it all off a local UK number! While TelAway's service was superb, what I enjoyed most was the local number. I was available throughout my trip for my friends and family back home in the UK!
