What do you need to consider before you travel to save money with your roaming charges?

If you are planning on using your usual SIM card, make sure you know the rates in the country you are travelling to and ensure you turn off your data roaming.  this can be found in your sim or data settings on your phone depending if it is Android or Iphone.
Remember that even if your phone is switched off you can still get charged as your phone might be set to automatically update.  In a perfect world a dual SIM phone is great as you can use your regular SIM and a travel SIM without having to do the irritating SIM card swap. 
A travel SIM will give you free international roaming, cheap calls, SMS and data in most countries. no surprises since your SIM is prepaid and you can control your budget.
This means you can answer your phone without being charged in the majority of countries and check Facebook without the fear of extortionate charges even making voice calls with applications like Whatsapp.
A travel SIM card can save you up to 95% on your roaming charges. 
Compare rates with your local sim provider and our Rates

If your mobile phone has been purchased from your GSM operator as part of a package deal, it is likely that the Global Voice Sim card will not work in it. For using Global Voice SIM while abroad you’ll need to get an unlocked phone.

How can you tell if your phone is locked?
Insert any other operator SIM other than your own. If the telephone doesn’t allow network access, then it is locked. If it does allow calls to be made it is unlocked.

You can unlock your phone using UnlockTotalk

American Roaming Plans by providers

3/5/2015

0 Comments

 
Some of the packages we recently found in the 3 of the mayor carriers are:


AT&T in October 2014 changed up its international plans a bit, offering the same packages in either a one-time shot, or in recurring monthly instances. Prices remain unchanged, as do the data buckets. The biggest change is the inclusion of unlimited Wifi. You also get unlimited text messaging with these plans. 

Here's how it breaks down:

$30 for 120 megabytes of data, 25 cents/MB overages, calls are $1 a minute 
$60 for 300 megabytes of data, 20 cents/MB overages, calls are 50 cents a minute
$120 for 800 megabytes of data, 15 cents/MB overages, calls are 35 cents a minute​

Sprint
Multiple-country pack

$40 for 40 megabytes
$80 for 85 megabytes
$10 per megabyte if you go over

Verizon
$25 per 100 megabytes
No overages. You just get charged another $25.
If for some reason you want to pay as you go, it's about $2 in Canada, $5.12 in Mexico and $20 per MB in the rest of the world.

The bottom line when traveling outside the United States, it's less expensive to get a Global SIM card, that will not only give you data but also voice and SMS 

without contracts, monthly fees or any surprise
