The UK market for Global SIM cards and International SIM cards has become massively popular with UK travellers, but there have been few innovative new features introduced on these products. However, all that is about to change with the introduction of the new Global SIM from 0044.co.uk which incorporates a dual number option giving the user the choice of either a +44 UK number or a +1 USA mobile number to use. As well as this the call rates in the USA are far cheaper than before on the Global SIM or International SIM making it the ideal solution for those transatlantic trips.

The fact remains that most Global SIM or International SIM solutions tend to still be expensive to use in the USA, but with the new dual number Global SIM you can make cheap rate outgoing calls in the USA from 30p/min and receive calls for free on your UK number. You can also receive calls for free in 60+ countries on the new 0044 International SIM when using the +44 UK number option. The Global SIM works in any unlocked handset and is the perfect solution for business and leisure travellers.

Angus MacLeod of 0044 Ltd commented, “We’ve been helping consumers avoid excessive roaming charges for several years now, but the EU commission’s decision still leaves the consumer paying through the nose when they travel to places like the USA and Canada. The new 0044 Global SIM card service plus our International SIM card means that consumers can effectively use their mobile across the USA in the same way as they do at home and beat the credit crunch at the same time.
