Everything you need to know about Global SIMs

by IV S. Consultant

When mobiles were first introduced, their main purpose was to enable you to call other people. While this still holds true, a mobile without data is considered almost useless today. And, this is especially true when travelling overseas. When traveling overseas, not only do we have to think about the infamous roaming charges when making calls, but also the availability of data to update emails and social media feeds. 

Which is why, it is always recommended to purchase an international travel SIM. These SIMs allow you to stay connected no matter where you are, at affordable prices. With the help of these SIMs, you can stay within your budget, without worrying about huge mobile bills waiting to be paid back home. Moreover, you can either purchase a SIM for one location if you are planning to visit just one country, or buy a global SIM card that allows you to roam freely across many different locations. 

An absolute necessity when travelling overseas, here is everything you need to know about travel SIMs:

Activation First

Many people often refrain from buying an international SIM because it is believed that there is no guarantee that they will work once you arrive at your destination. However, this is far from the truth. SIMs purchased from companies like Roam 1 are activated before your departure, so you can rest assured that your trip will be hassle-free! Moreover, internet settings that need to be adjusted once you arrive are sent to your handset before your trip, so all you need to do is make the changes, and enjoy your data usage.

No Calls Missed

Another reason why people often refrain from choosing travel SIMs is that they will have to change their number, resulting in many people not being able to contact them. Again, this isn't true. Many companies provide features that forward calls received on your Indian number to your new number at nominal costs.

Boundary-Less Communication

One of the best features of buying a global SIM is that you can choose to use them at multiple locations. While some travellers visit just one location, many travellers, especially when it comes to business, need to go to multiple locations. At such times, a travel SIM ensures that you can enjoy uninterrupted connectivity no matter where you choose to go!

24/7 Assistance

Technological advancements like real-time tracking has made it possible for you to connect with your SIM provider anytime, anywhere. Hence, no matter what your location, you can connect with the company’s customer care team, who will help you connect better during your trip! Just make sure your SIM provider has this feature, for example, companies like Roam 1 allow you to connect with them 24/7! 

While it’s true that the concept of Travel SIMs aren't new, the trend of choosing to buy one has just caught up! So, make sure you are up-to-date with technology by choosing to buy a travel SIM. After all, travelling is the only thing you spend on, that makes you richer with experience!
