I just found out about this service. It’s a great way to get your voicemails while you’re on holiday, and not have to pay roaming to hear them. I remember when I was in Germany last week, I got several voicemails that I never bothered to listen to because I didn’t want to pay roaming to hear it. This is a very cool service I just started using today.

Over the weekend, Citysearch pushed out an update to itsiPhone app with a much smoother user interface, better local search, and maps are now the default view.

I found this post on how to book a cheap flight using new flight comparison websites. Very good article so I thought I’d post some key points here.

I used Rick Steves’ Guide when I backpacked Europe. It was awesome. I didn’t have to book anything or plan anything until I got there. I felt like I knew things only a local would know. And I could just skim cities before deciding if I wanted take a train over there. Great times.

I just found a site dedicated to listing all the iPhone travel apps out there! It’s a search engine for Travel Apps. I added it to my links on the right ;) very cool! I think the most valuable part of the site is the Top 8 Travel Apps Section. Here are the Top 8 Free and Paid Travel Apps in America.

Truphone recently launched Local Anywhere. I think it’s pretty cool. It allows you to make calls at local rates by purchasing their international sim card, so it’ll be very convenient for frequent travellers. Not having to manage various SIMs and unlocking and searching and topping up would be great.

I’m really excited to try this Personal Assistant app. Siri can help you find and plan things to do. You can ask Siri to find a romantic place for dinner, tell you what’s playing at a local jazz club or get tickets to a movie for Saturday night.
