The world is changing quickly. Some would say that it is spinning out of control and that 12.21.2012 will be the lst day of existence- or at least until 11:11pm. But, between now and then there’s much to do. People want to be free and Kosovo said why not today? And so it is. Kosovo is a self-declared independent republic in southeastern Europe. After international negotiations failed to reach a consensus on an acceptable constitutional status, Kosovo’s provisional government unilaterally declared independence from Serbia on 17 February 2008.

The Kosovo parliament has unanimously endorsed a declaration of independence from Serbia, in an historic session. The declaration, read by Prime Minister Hashim Thaci, said Kosovo would be a democratic country that respected the rights of all ethnic communities. ALL! No exclusivism here in Kosovo! The US and a number of EU countries are expected to recognise Kosovo on Monday.

Serbia’s PM denounced the US for helping create a “false state”. Serbia’s ally, Russia, called for an urgent UN Security Council meeting. Whiners!

I’ll always remember the fine wine, good good, and great casinos that were once a part of Pula, Yugoslavia. I wsas there when Josip Broz Tito ran the country and my hotel room was bugged. But, since the collapse of Yugoslavia in 1992, Pula has become part of the modern Republic of Croatia. One needs a score card to keep up with which nation is under what control, and even what the name of the country is now.

When news came of the declaration in parliament, the centre of the city of Pristina erupted with fireworks, firecrackers and celebratory gunfire. Red balloons decorated with the black Albanian eagle drifted across the sky. Hundreds of Kosovo Albanians staged noisy celebrations in Brussels, outside the headquarters of Nato and the European Union.

Obviously this increase the likelyhood of more tensions, increased oil prices, and trouble between Kosovo’s Serbs and ethnic Albanians is enormous. Serbia’s Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica blamed the US which he said was “ready to violate the international order for its own military interests”. Will we ever be able to get past our cultural and religious differences?

“Today, this policy of force thinks that it has triumphed by establishing a false state. Kosovo is Serbia,” Mr Kostunica said, repeating a well-known nationalist Serb saying. The Albanians beg to differ!

There should be no fear of discrimination in new Kosovo, Prime Minister Hashim Thaci, said, vowing to eradicate any such practices – and conveying a similar message in Serbian. Ah were it but that easy, but prejudices run deep and it’s not going to be an easy road. So, add another “hot spot” to the world’s growing list of difficulties.

Introduction

I’ve been trying to compare mobile roaming and international tariffs in the UK, but the more I got into it, the more confused I became. I could not find any good websites which compared international tariffs, and this information is often hidden on the websites of most UK mobile operators. No surprise there; they can charge you a lot if you are not careful.

I decided to do some data mining (again, you need to extract this information country by country from most websites) to come up with some comparable figures. In this article I wanted to summarise my findings on international and roaming call costs charged by UK mobile operators; I hope they will be as useful to others as they were for me.

Summary

My analysis of seven UK mobile operators identified Globalcell (www.globalcell.eu) as the best all round company, winning hands down on international calls and also offering the cheapest roaming package. Globalcell was up to 18 times (!) less expensive than the other operators regarding international calls, and was consistently among the top two when looking at roaming rates. As an overall package, Globalcell offers the best value for money.

Analysis

I looked seven UK mobile operators; the five major ones and two low-cost ones. The data collection took place between January and February 2009. I used the standard rates for all as published on the respective websites, and where it existed, I also looked at international savings tariffs.

Here is the list of the UK operators that I looked at:

Vodafone (www.vodafone.co.uk), O2 (www.o2.co.uk), Orange (www.orange.co.uk), T-Mobile (www.t-mobile.co.uk), 3 (www.three.co.uk), Tesco Mobile (www.tesco.co.uk), Globalcell (www.globalcell.eu)

I looked at the pay monthly options on all competitors, except Globalcell which currently offers only pay-as-you-go. This is because you can normally get better call deals with pay-monthly contracts than with pre-pay deals.

I want to put a disclaimer that in the jungle of the options that the various operators offer, there might be some better ones, but I looked hard and these were the ones that I found.

International calls

International calls are the calls you make from the UK to other countries. I analysed specific countries, because to make things more difficult, each company defines their zones differently. I compared the following countries for international calls from the UK (in alphabetical order):

Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Ukraine, USA

Table 1 below shows some typical examples of how these operators compare. The figures show the pence per-minute cost of international calls from the UK by the different operators to selected countries, using their standard costs:

What jumps out of the chart is that Globalcell (last two columns) is much cheaper than any of the other operators. GlobalCell(F) indicates international calls to fixed line phones, and GlobalCell(M) indicates international calls to mobiles. Not only are they cheaper, but in most cases significantly cheaper. However, you can get a better deal with most other operators by paying a monthly fee. Here are the options that I found by browsing the websites:

Table 2 – UK Mobile Operator International SAVER Tariffs Analysed

Vodafone (ICS): £2.50 per month
O2 (ITS): £2.99 per month
Orange (ITS): £2.50 per month
T-Mobile with International Option: £2.50 per month

Table 3 compares international calls assuming you subscribe to the above international call packages. Please note that the monthly price of these packages will add to your overall international call costs which, for example, you will not need to pay with Globalcell.

Again Globalcell is the cheapest and wins hands down (last two columns). Tesco in many cases looks ridiculously expensive now, but Vodafone, O2, Orange, T-Mobile and 3 are also much more expensive. At this point I gave Globalcell a call to see if there is any catch, but no; they said their value proposition is based on providing a fair price to consumers.

To give you an example of the differences, if you called Ukraine, you would pay only 8p with Globalcell (fixed line), but would pay 18 times more with Tesco, 11 times more with Vodafone and 3 times more with Orange. Huge differences!

In summary, it seems that Globalcell offers a much better value on international calls than other operators; essentially every country I compared is cheaper with them than with their competitors. It is actually free to try them (you can get a free SIM card from them with a £2 free credit). They run on Orange’s network, and the quality of the calls therefore is as good as any other major network. A very good value for money indeed.

Roaming

Different minimum call charges are applied by the various operators, so to make the tariffs comparable I looked at a typical five minute call to compare roaming tariffs. Except for calls from the EU I analysed specific countries, because to make things more difficult, each mobile operator defines their zones differently.

First, I looked at the STANDARD rates for outgoing calls to the UK and within the roaming zone for each mobile operator. I spare you the details (more will come in table 7). Here the picture was not so clear cut as with international calls from the UK. Operators have strengths according to their overseas networks. In Europe, operators offer similar tariffs. In other countries, it greatly differs. For example, Three is the most expensive in Thailand and Taiwan, but is very cheap in Hong Kong due to its network, so if you visit the region, another operator’s tariffs are likely to be better.

If you count the TOP 3 cheapest operators for each destination, you get the following results:

Table 5 – UK Mobile Operators Ranked by Roaming Tariffs – STANDARD ROAMING RATES

Operator—-Number of Times among Top 3 Cheapest—-RANK by how cheap it is (1=BEST, 7=WORST)

Global Cell———————–7————————————————–1

O2——————————–6————————————————–2

Three—————————-5————————————————–3

Tesco Mobile——————-4————————————————–4

Vodafone———————–3————————————————–5

Orange————————–3————————————————–6

T-Mobile————————2—————————————————7

Based on this analysis, Globalcell seems to be the least expensive operator for roaming, followed by O2 and Three.

So far Globalcell seems to offer the best all around package. It won hands down on the international calls from the UK, and offers a really good deal on roaming calls.

Now I compared the tariffs using roaming saver rates. The table below summarises the available options that I looked at:

Table 6 – UK Mobile Operator Roaming Saver Tariffs Analysed

Vodafone (ICS): £30 per year. Note: Only available to Anytime 1500 or 3000 (i.e. very heavy mobile users). Gives NO savings in Europe
O2 (ITS): £35.88 per year. Note: Gives NO savings in Europe, but good savings elsewhere
Orange (World Traveller): £24 per year. Note: They claim you can get up to 50% saving, but you only get that on incoming calls in Australia, and IN MOST CASES YOU GET ALMOST NOTHING.
Globalcell (£20 top up): Costs NOTHING. If you buy £20 top up, you get £10 extra for FREE, effectively reducing your roaming rates by 33%.

I got the following results when comparing roaming tariffs for outgoing calls to the UK and within the roaming Zone using the operators’ savings rates (where available):

Table 7 – Cost of Roaming for Outgoing Calls (to the UK and within Roaming Zone) Using Operator’s SAVER Rates (5 minute call)

——————Vodafone———O2——Orange——T-Mobile—-Three—–Tesco—- GlobalCell

Europe (EU) ——–190 ——–175 ——–190 ——–190 ——–125 ——–175 ——–128

Australia ————450 ——–300 ——–300 ——–700 ——–700 ——–445 ——–557

USA/Canada ——-550 ——–450 ——–475 ——–275 ——–600 ——–445 ——–326

Hong Kong ———350 ——–300 ——–500 ——–700 ———60———745 ——–359

Russia ————–750 ——–600 ——–875 ——–700 ——–900 ——–745 ———557

Serbia ————–750 ——–405 ——–650 ——–700 ——–600 ——–745 ———359

Taiwan ————-450 ——–300 ——–500 ——–700 ——–900 ——–745 ———359

Thailand ———–450 ——–300 ——–500 ——–700 ——–900 ——–745 ———359

Turkey ————-625 ——–600 ——–650 ——–700 ——–600 ——–345 ———359

Ukraine ————750 ——–405 ——–650 ——–700 ——–600 ——–745 ———359

Here, the picture is much clearer. O2 and Globalcell appear as the least expensive operators by a high margin, see table below:

Table 8 – UK Mobile Operators Ranked by Roaming Tariffs – SAVER ROAMING RATES

Operator—-Number of Times among Top 3 Cheapest—-RANK by how cheap it is (1=BEST, 7=WORST)

O2———————————9————————————————–1

Global Cell———————–8————————————————–2

Three—————————-4————————————————–3

Vodafone———————–3————————————————–4

Tesco Mobile——————-3————————————————–4

T-Mobile————————–2————————————————–6

Orange—————————-1————————————————–7

Do not forget though, that with O2 you had to pay almost £36 per year to get access to these lower rates, while with Globalcell it was all free. With that in mind, Globalcell still offers a better deal.

Conclusion

I compared 7 UK mobile operators for international calls and roaming calls. Based on the analysis, Globalcell came out as the cheapest operator for both roaming and international calls. It won hands down on international calls from the UK (being between 3 to 18 times less expensive than the others). Regarding roaming, it was the cheapest on the standard tariffs and the second cheapest with the saver tariffs. However, if you take into account the monthly costs of the saver tariffs for other operators, Globalcell seems to be the best option.

I tested the quality of the calls; Globalcell run on Orange’s network and thus the quality was as good as any. Globalcell seems to be offering very good value for money.

The Republic of Macedonia is hemmed in from all four sides by Greece, Albania, Serbia, and Bulgaria. This land-locked Balkan country happens to be a parliamentary democracy – despite its ongoing dispute with Greece – whose economic fortunes are changing. While entering this lovely country you need a valid passport. US passport holders, though, have something to cheer about as they do not need a valid visa for getting into the country. Even more important: proof of health insurance is an essential or else you’ll have to buy one at the border.

You might want to begin your journey from the capital city of Skopje with its beautiful Makedonija Square and view of the Vardar River which has buildings on either side of it but appears absolutely ravishing nonetheless, especially during summer. Surrounded by mountains, some of its views are completely stunning.

Some tourists prefer to commence their journey from the ‘Macedonian Riviera’ or Ohrid with its breathtaking waterfront, hillsides and promenades. It is not for nothing that it has been called ‘Paradise n Earth’. Take a boat ride down its tranquil lake and feel the wind rush through your hair as the birds sing their evensongs…

Then there are those who prefer to travel to the southern part of Macedonia, to Bitola at the base of the Baba Mountain, an important trade and commercial centre it is also the country’s second-largest city. Not as beautiful as Ohrid, certainly, it bears strong evidence of its Ottoman ancestry in its architecture, culture and the Ottoman Military Academy. While in Bitola you simply have to try its special Turkish home-made bread or burek from a small unostentatious bakery known as Kaj Kire which has been around for over two decades. The word ‘delicious’ would be an understatement.

But if you like the bracing mountain air we suggest you take a trip to Lazaropole located at an altitude of 1,350 meters. A tiny village with about 400 houses it has the honorable distinction of spawning authors, artists, and educators. The best time to visit is in the month of September when the entire region is bathed in dramatic colors.

Tourists on a soul-cleansing pilgrimage would just love the city of Mavrovo choc-a-bloc with churches and monasteries. Among the ‘must visits’ is the National Park with a magnificent artificial lake. The rugged terrain is a delight for mountain bikers while naturalists would love its bio-diversity.

For beautiful mansions, lovely scenery, and a vibrant art scene you should travel to Tetovo in the northern part of the country which is also home to the South East European University and the State University of Tetovo. The architecture of the place spans an entire range from the Ottoman Empire to the Soviet Cement Block.

The painted mosque and the art center are places worth visiting at least once. At the art center you will see artists working away at their easels and paints; the sight of an artist putting final touches to his or her work is truly rewarding as you will get to see here.
Clearly, the list doesn’t end here. But that’s for you to find out!

The dinar was subdivided into 100 para (Cyrillic script: пара). There were eight distinct dinari, with hyperinflation in the early 1990s causing five revaluations between 1990 and 1994. Each of the eight has been given a distinguishing name and a separate ISO 4217 code. Until 1918, the dinar was the currency of Serbia. It then became the currency of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, circulating alongside the dinar and krone in Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, with 1 dinar = 4 kronen. The first coins and banknotes bearing the name of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes were issued in 1920, until which time Serbian coins and banknotes circulated. In 1929, the name of the country changed to Yugoslavia.
