How to avoid expensive roaming charges with an International SIM card.

Jan. 19, 2012 - PRLog -- Traveling can be stressful without having to think about the roaming charges incurred on your mobile phone whilst abroad. Whether you have decided to set out on a long voyage or you are a frequent traveller on business, using your mobile phone for essential calls or messages can encumber premium costs, further financially burdening your journeys.  Investing in an international SIM card can prove fruitful and provide the solution to many travellers worrying about international roaming charges.  

Many avoid using their mobile phones abroad in an attempt to evade roaming charges. However international SIM cards such as WorldSIM™ pave the way for such people to stay in touch with loved ones, business partners and/ or clients. It is always advisable to do your research before investing in such a SIM card to see who offers the best rates. The smarter choice may be the company who offers the most amounts of free calls to the destinations you know you will be frequently travelling to. Always compare who provides the most amounts of free calls in a wider range of locations.

Cheaper roaming charges aside, there are many benefits to purchasing international SIM cards such as WorldSIM™. Carrying one international phone number relieves you of the hassle of giving out more than one telephone number and makes you more easily accessible.  If you are travelling to more than one country in one journey, it will be simpler to use your one international number, as opposed to purchasing local SIM cards in each country. It is best to ensure that the international SIM card is operational most places, if not everywhere. Beware of companies which will only operate in a few selected countries.

And finally there comes the question regarding pre-paid or post-paid SIM cards. Although most will argue the easier option is post-paid due to not having to rely on the task of recharging your SIM, pre-paid is the useful way to keep track of how much you have spent, particularly in areas where there is not easy access to the internet. If your main purpose of purchasing an international SIM card is to reduce high roaming charges, pre-paid SIMs are the best way to keep track of this.

So, investing in an international pre-paid SIM card which comes with one international number may prove cost effective and easier.
