Gap year safety tip; how to avoid being stung by your mobile
A career break or gap year is the ideal way to explore the world ahead of full time employment, but unless care is taken huge bills can be racked up along the way. However, the UK's leading SIM card provider www.0044.co.uk now provides an alternative solution; the Global SIM or International SIM; meaning travelers can share their experiences with friends and family whilst traveling or working their way around the world.
0044 Ltd, the UK's leading mobile roaming specialists, have created a unique solution that can help travelers avoid roaming charges around the world including the USA. Based on their expertise in supplying country specific SIM cards 0044 have introduced a new Global SIM or International SIM that is ideal for people who plan to visit several destinations on a trip abroad. They now provide Global SIM card (the small removable chip inside your handset) via the website at www.0044.co.uk that means you can make calls at local rates and receive calls for free in over 60 countries around the world, including the USA!
Mobile users are confused and often unaware of premium call charges of as much as £1.80pmin to make and receive calls whilst abroad, resulting in millions of UK travellers receiving huge bills when they return home to the UK.
Angus MacLeod, director of 0044 Ltd commented, "We are regularly asked for a mobile solution that will help avoid roaming charges in more than one country and this new Global SIM will help multi-destination travelers do just that as well as being far more cost effective than most Global SIM cards in the USA.. It's a unique addition to our range and means we now offer a solution to gap year and student travelers in particular, who need to work on tight budgets yet stay safe and in touch at the same time".
