Hi Paul, ready to go options are great but when travelling abroad I would suspect that you would not get the same value as u would on a bill pay. Do be careful to check all the terms and conditions if you choose to go down this road. I am not encouraging bills or anything but I do think that for what you need the bill pay may work out the cheapest option.
