Mobile Industry Review: Mini-review: SIM4Travel Roaming SIM

  • bigjohn · 1 year ago
    They dont use normal UK Mobile Numbers, they use Jersey Mobile Numbers and calls to them are rarely allowed from UK mobile network inclusive minutes.

    They have also recently introduced a 39p a day service charge.

    Thanks John - I'll amend the post re: the number. Didn't think the service charge was very note-worthy given I save more than that if I recieve one call in 2 of the locations tested. What do you think?

    I finally got around to using mine recently and was shocked by the 39p dailly access fee. I never saw this spelled out in their tariffs when I purchased it - I think this was added in recently. Also, after reading the fine print - hidden away - I discovered that the SIM card stays active for 270 days (whatever that means) but after 90 days of inactivity they charge you 2 GBP every 30 days to keep your credit valid! Another hidden fee. As far as I am concerned this deal is a major ripoff and will never use them again. I am currently looking (carefully) at other vendors such as gosim, oneroam, rangeroamer, etc however in the short run using my virgin uk and vodafone gr sims on roaming is a better deal. I went through the numbers and discovered that one needs to make a 4 minute call (either send or receive) before sim4travel begins to be cheaper than roaming on the other cards in the EU.
