V Roam

I am travelling to Europe in three weeks from Australia. Will be visiting 4 countried over 7 weeks.

I have investigated pre paid SIM cards. Found VRoam - which is an Australian company linked to United Mobile.

I phoned and spoke to them - they seemed fine. When I tried to order online the order form wouldn't accept my details. My son said it may be a scam.

Does anyone have any experience of this company/

thanks

Welcome

No direct experience, but I've browsed their website a few times over a peiod of about 18 months - it comes up on Google adverts from time to time.

I very much doubt that it's a scam - probably some temporary glitch trying to enter your details. Can you order on the phone instead?

I hope you've read various threads here about using the SIM with a separate callback service like Callbackworld for rather cheaper calls.

ps - I can't see a price for that SIM; I hope it's a better deal than the UK-based Mobile World SIM they are reselling. Check the United Mobile site itself for price in Euros
