The recently launched travel communications solution,SIM4travel.com, enables holidaymakers and business travellers to cut costs on mobile phone charges by up to 85% whilst abroad by simply swapping their UK SIM card for a travel SIM. Travel SIMs can be purchased from the SIM4travel.com web site, which uses securetrading�s technology to accept payments online securely and in real-time by processing credit card transactions. Until now, travellers have been forced to accept years of over-priced international roaming charges. When UK travellers take their mobile phone abroad they �roam� onto a foreign operators� network so UK rates don�t apply if they make or receive calls whilst away. Roaming is much more expensive than using the mobile at home for both making and receiving calls, whether you are calling the local restaurant or relatives back in the UK and it�s the same whether you are on contract or pay as you go (PAYG). The multi-country travel SIM solution from SIM4travel represents a new era in mobile communications while abroad. �If you use your mobile phone overseas you could face a bill more than ten times higher than usual, it can cost up to �1.90 a minute just to receive a call. By purchasing a travel SIM you can reduce your phone bill and remain in contact for a fraction of the cost,� said Simon Goff, co-founder, SIM4travel.com. For more information and to purchase a SIM for a one off cost of just �29.95, including �5.00 call credit, simply go to www.SIM4travel.com The pay-as-you-go SIM works in 110 countries, and can save users up to 85% compared to the tariffs offered by domestic carriers. SIM4travel service information For �29.95 SIM4travel provides a mobile travel SIM for consumers to use abroad taking advantage of the following: � receive calls for free in leading UK travel destinations � make local calls at local rates � call the UK for less � text the UK for less � use the pre-loaded credit straightaway � hassle free � control spend, avoid post trip mobile bill shock � stay in touch for less and control usage SIM4travel was set up in response to dissatisfaction with current UK provider roaming charges levied on consumers. How does SIM4travel work? � A traveller purchases a SIM4travel card � A SIM4travel card is delivered to the traveller with calling credit � Traveller informs contacts they will still be in touch whilst abroad by text/ email/voice (through www.textmynumber.com) � SIM4travel card is activated upon first use � Traveller enjoys savings of up to �1.90 a minute in over 110 countries � Traveller tops up whilst abroad directly from their phone, online or by calling the SIM4travel service centre � Traveller can access web, phone or IVR if they have any questions whilst away (all instructions in English) � Traveller returns home in control of mobile spend, with no unexpected mobile bills [addsig]
