TravelSIM

Presentation

TravelSIM is one of the latest products in the international prepaid GSM cards market.
Its advantages are the same as United Mobile product: free roaming in many countries and rather cheap outgoing calls, usually better than roaming charges of national operators.

PROS
The main advantages of TravelSIM product compared to the competitors are free incoming calls in some countries where usually you have to pay, like Russia, South Korea and Japan and a good worldwide coverage, with network agreements in countries such as New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon or Greenland, where other competitors don't work.
Other advantages are no set-up fee, cheaper rates for SMS and the cheapest starting kit.
Last but not least: TravelSIM staff people are really friendly and ready to answer any help question.
Overall we can say it's by now (September 2007) the most reliable offer among international simcards.

CONS
Among disadvantages you don't have free incoming calls in some European countries and crazy rates for most American countries (but that's quite usual).
