You can use the MINO Application when travelling abroad, however, the mobile carrier treats the call with MINO as an incoming call and charges incoming roaming fees. If while abroad, you have access to a local landline or a local mobile phone, you can avoid the incoming roaming fees by changing your default Call From Number.

I. Changing the MINO Default Call From Number
