PayPal allows you to transfer money between more than 200 countries and 25 currencies, and may also give you the ability to reload a cell phone for someone abroad. But it isn't a free service, and there are fees associated with these kinds of transfers.

The transfer fee is 5% of the transfer amount, with a minimum charge of 99 cents and a maximum of $4.99 if you're transferring from your bank account or PayPal balance.

If you're using a debit or credit card to transfer money, there is no fee limit, and you'll have to pay an additional 2.9% funding fee, plus a fixed fee that depends on the country you're sending money to .
