\"All
All you need is your mobile phone!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Every now and then we get to hear about a great new service (as opposed to a good one) and felt the need to share this particularly inspired one with you.<\/p>\n

Run by a company called CallUma, their \u2018Pass The Phone<\/strong>\u2019 product is your ticket away from broken pigeon English. If you desperately need to communicate with a non English speaking local in any of the World\u2019s leading languages (87% of them in fact), you simply call a number, tell them what you are trying to say, then pass your phone to the local and your message will be relayed perfectly. Great idea eh!<\/p>\n

The service is manned 24 hours by professional interpreters, so if you\u2019re haggling for a holiday bargain or even trying to find the nearest chemist you\u2019re just a call away from help, no appointments needed!<\/p>\n

Before your holiday or trip you simply buy minutes on the CallUma website. Obviously you may have to pay roaming charges from your mobile phone provider.<\/p>\n
