London (PRWEB UK) 14 August 2013 -- WorldSIM, creator of the roaming SIM card, is now the SIM card for Britain. Tourists visiting the UK as part of a multi country European holiday will no longer need to buy multiple local SIM cards. With WorldSIM, roaming across Europe is free, and roaming data in the EU is just 35p/MB, which is less than the recent rate drops imposed by the EU Commission.
Visit Britain, the national tourism agency, welcomes WorldSIM into its impressive list of global brands including Samsung, Expedia, Easyjet, Hostel World and British Airways. Visit Britain declared that last year’s Olympics will encourage even more tourists to visit the UK this year and travel experts predict the majority of these visitors will come from the US and Europe.
WorldSIM, winner of The Business Show’s Award for Innovation and Best Traveller Services, pioneered the global SIM. Their pay as you go SIM card offers cheap international calls - from just 1p/min, free roaming in 90 countries and UK call rates at just one third of what the big networks are charging. Visit Britain will be offering WorldSIM’s global SIM card to all international travellers coming to the UK.
WorldSIM CEO, Arif Reza, commented “Our partnership with Visit Britain is just in time for the summer season. With the Olympics and the Queens Jubilee last year, this year has high expectations to live up to. Our SIM enables UK visitors to phone home cheaply and be contactable without paying expensive international roaming fees. The UK is often used as the gateway to Europe; WorldSIM offers free roaming in Europe which saves the average holiday maker 50% off their mobile bill per trip.”
According to report from the Tourism Alliance in March, one third of all additional jobs in the UK’s workforce have been created by the tourism industry, therefore the job of Visit Britain is crucial to the economy. The partnership with Visit Britain means that travellers to the UK can save up to 85% on their mobile phone calls.
