GEWI’s TIC Connects Vehicles,
Systems and Travelers for 15 years
Since 1997, TIC has been used for
a wide range of transportation solutions including Traffic and
Travel Information Services, Connected Vehicles, Work Zones, Data
Harmonization & Exchange, RDS-TMC and TPEG, Navigation System
Testing and more. Requirements from customers worldwide are
used to develop new product features to keep TIC the most flexible,
feature-rich, transportation software available as a Commercial off-the-shelf
(COTS) solution. A COTS solution means TIC can be deployed more quickly
and at a lower cost than build-it-yourself solutions, but includes GEWI’s 20
years of experience solving global project requirements. To discuss your
project, contact us at info@gewi.com

For some reason I think they may see cheap prepaid calling cards as being unreliable. Where I live, anything that is cheap and gets you around conventional channels is suspect. Maybe this is the problem, though I don’t think it is a true observation.
International Calling
This was a very helpful post Bernie! I have decided to go backpacking in Europe because its something that I have always wanted to do but have never done. Since this is my first time doing something like this I have been trying to find out how to make international calls so I can keep in touch with my family and friends. Your article has been a huge help, thank you for sharing this with us!
