             Discount International Long Distance Calling is available, if activated, when pre booking your rental.
                For example, a comparison of the the major Canadian carrier international call rates to Japan & Korea shows...
                In the fall of 2009, one of them adjusted its per minute rate to Japan from $1.92 to $1.33 without offering
                any discount option, while the other two continued to use 64 cents per minute as their standard rate and also
                offered discount options further reducing the cost of that same minute to 30 or even 8 cents.
                The most expensive of the major carriers charged $2.42 per minute to call Korea without offering any discount
                option, while the other two used $1.09 & 60 cents as their standard rates plus offered discount options further
                reducing the cost of that same minute to 20 or even 4 cents.
                The most expensive carrier did offer a Asia Discount package for calls to China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and
                Singapore only. The rate for that package was similar to the other two major carriers rates.
                Of course it is still possible to get "Local Call Discounts" (see below) and get even lower costs.
                Normal long distance rates are adjusted only when discounts are activated with the pre booking.

             - Assisted hearing or display languages such as Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, German are
                available on request, with advance notice.

             - Internet Data Packages provide better value than pay as you go use.
                These packages of 4 MB to 4GB are easily setup for your rental phone and secure you a lower per KB
                rate, in the event you use more than the package offers. EMails with attachments, surfing the web or
                entering data over the web all can be done with predictable costs.

             Local Call as International Calls- Picture the folks, back in the office in your home country, dialing
                a local number there, that rings on your rental phone here in Canada. You dial a local number in Canada
                and it rings back at your office in your home country. Book this service when you reserve and save.
                If your only planning on making a couple of calls it won't be worth setting this up.
                If you are looking at a longer period of time or lots of calls this can really save.
