Roamer's app-based call forwarding helps you save cash abroad (video)

Call forwarding when you’re abroad isn’t the most exciting of tech topics, but it is one that’s likely to save you a bundle on the road. Roamer is a new iOS and Android app that forwards your regular number onto a local SIM card, ensuring that you’ll pay native rates even when calling your loved ones. The app itself is free from the Android and iOS stores, with roaming credits available to buy in packages of $13, $16, $39 and $65 -- and if you’d like to see it in action before you reach for your phone, there’s a video tucked in after the break. Oh, and any Windows Phone and BlackBerry users who are feeling left out, fear not, the company has promised versions for those platforms are coming in the near future.
