Collaborations between companies are not weird for those who know that joining forces together can easily turn into a very good solution when trying to face the competition. The most important aspect is related to the following aspect: not everyone is capable of doing such collaborations and not all of them are meant to be successful.



In the given context, here we have the result of an intense work and of many efforts made by National Geographic and the company called Cellular Abroad: a dual SIM cell phone, which is said to be called National Geographic Duet Travel Phone. The name of the model, consisting of letters and numbers, is D888.



Presented as a handset that was “designed specifically for the needs of the international traveler”, the phone is equipped with features like two SIM cards, of course, Bluetooth connectivity, a camera of an unknown number of megapixels, FM radio, television (I’m not surprised) and a card for external memory of 1GB.

There are, of course, lots of National Geographic-branded little things that you’ll be able to enjoy when using this handset, such as ringtones, wallpapers and all sorts of videos that are related to the travels you can also see on National Geographic Channel.

The phone comes with a pay-as-you-go SIM card which allows the user make the phone calls he likes in approximately 185 different countries and receive free calls in about 80 countries. Not to mention the 30 minutes that represent an outgoing call credit which can be used in most countries. You can buy the National Geographic Travel SIM card separately from the device, as long as you already have one that you can use internationally.

Now let’s see what the officials have to say: “Our service offers comparable international coverage to carriers such as Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T, but at a fraction of the cost. In today’s economic environment, there is good reason to utilize National Geographic’s international cellular service when travelling”, said Sebastian Harisson, who is the President of Cellular Abroad Inc. He further added that “the unique features of the new Duet handset perfectly complement the equally unique qualities of the service”.

As for the price, you’ll be able to buy the phone from Cellular Abroad or several retailers, like Amazon or Expansys USA, for $199.
