New products from 0044 help credit crunch recovery
With signs that the credit crunch may be coming to an end in countries like France and Germany 0044, the leading roaming solutions provider in the UK, has introduced two new products to help travellers save money as they begin to venture out. Using their new Global SIM or International SIM can actually help save you a small fortune when travelling with your mobile abroad and a recently introduced USA SIM provides even bigger transatlantic savings.
Staying in touch by using your mobile in Europe and the USA can still cost a fortune. Not only are you charged premium rates of up to £1.30 p min to make a call you are also charged to receive calls in excess of £1.00 per minute. This not only applies to UK networks but also on certain Global SIM cards and International SIM cards. Now all of this extra expenditure can be avoided by using a new solution provided by mobile roaming specialists 0044. By purchasing the new 0044 Global SIM with a dual US/UK number or a US pay-as-you-go SIM card (the small removable chip inside your handset) on the website and using an unlocked tri-band handset, roaming charges can be avoided, calls made are at local rates and incoming calls and texts are a fraction of the cost.
Angus MacLeod, director of 0044 Ltd commented, "I needed to take my mobile abroad even though it was costing me a fortune, but my UK network could not present me with a cheap solution so I found one for myself with a Global SIM card. It kept me in control of my call costs and saved me a considerable amount of money. It was also a benefit to be able to use the Global SIM in the UK to receive calls from my US contacts for free! Like many of the best ideas in life, our service is simple. We aim to offer a solution to holidaymakers and business travelers worldwide so that they can remain in control of their budgets yet stay safe and in touch at the same time".
