Take-off when the World Cup kicks-off
As the whole of the UK embarks upon a patriotic trail of media frenzy, TV listings saturated with football coverage and no doubt some pretty mediocre summertime weather it’s no wonder that those not planning to wear a St George’s flag across their face may want to escape the UK this summer. The need to therefore adopt a solution such as a Global SIM has become more important than ever and with the Ekit Global SIM provided by 0044.co.uk users can avoid roaming charges and, in some receive calls for free, across 140 destinations around the world with the Global SIM.
Staying in touch by using your mobile in Europe and further afield can still cost a fortune. European roaming charges have decreased in recent years but you may still pay a premium to make a call and you’ll certainly pay to receive a call. Further afield it’s even worse. 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 in long haul destinations. Using a Global SIM solution from 0044 Ltd, the UK’s leading SIM card provider, can not only save money in EU countries. A Global SIM means massive savings of up to 70% in long haul destinations making a Global SIM the essential travel accessory for anyone wishing to body swerve the World Cup.
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. 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 Europe and the UK to receive calls from my contacts for free! Like many of the best ideas in life, our service is simple. We aim to provide our Global SIM solution to those who have had enough of the football and simply want to find a quiet part of the world to holiday in away from the World Cup.
