National Geographic have gotten themselves into the crazy, competitive world of cellphones. It’s just that they have kept their target audience in mind and bought out something for the ‘Wild Thornberries’ kind. Saying this, the phone has dual-SIM technology and comes with a pay-as-you-go SIM card that keeps you connected with contacts as you travel across 185 countries. The card has free incoming calls in 80 countries and 30 minutes of outgoing call credits in particular regions. As far as the other SIM card slot is concerned, you can fill it up with anyone that’s supported in your region. The only thing that can get us thinking is that it doesn’t have quad-band GSM, instead, it packs a tri-band connection (900/1800/1900 MHz). There’s no 3G either. Other features of the National Geographic SIM Duet Travel phone include a 2.8 inch QVGA screen, Bluetooth, mobile TV, 1 GB microSD card, FM and video recording with a VGA camera.

The Duet will cost $199 and is available at Cellular Abroad, Amazon and other cellphone stores.
