WorldSIM Beats Major Network Providers on International Roaming Rates
(PRWEB UK) 30 August 2013 -- Holiday makers and business travellers could pay a whopping £1.30 a minute with the major network providers, just to answer a call; making using your phone abroad very expensive matter.
Virtual mobile network operator, WorldSIM, pioneered the roaming SIM card several years ago, making continuous improvements to the technology, the tariffs and customer service; they launched a new and improved SIM last year. Users benefit from free international roaming, a UK and US number, more coverage than most network providers (well over 175 countries) as well as low cost calls, SMS messages and reduced data roaming.
According to a recent survey, mobile users who took a holiday in Turkey returned home to bill of £281 on average, the WorldSIM SIM card could have reduced this to just £42. With more than 2.5 million Britons visiting Turkey each year, there are substantial savings that Brits are missing out on. Visitors to destinations outside Europe experienced even higher roaming charges with their mobile providers, for example, Vodafone customer will pay £1.30 a minute to receive a call in India which is free with WorldSIM.
Businesses suffer even more, a survey by CCMI found that almost 70% of the Fortune 1000 companies struggle with roaming costs, 37% of which spend an average of £645 per user – some spending in excess of £2000 each trip.
WorldSIM bridges the gap in communicating across borders, making the costs of using your phone abroad much more manageable. The WorldSIM travel SIM card gives free international roaming in 90 countries including all the popular travel destinations like Spain, Turkey, USA and Australia. Both business and leisure travellers can therefore receive calls for free while they are abroad as well as save quite considerably on calls, texts and data.
