This is a unique SIM card service that the travel experts love! You get global coverage on 1 phone number. It’s easy to use because it uses standard direct dialing like your home phone (unlike the complicated call back system above). And your service is continually active whenever you need it so you’ll never get cut off. And most importantly, you get the best call quality — it automatically chooses the strongest cell phone signal of all the carriers in the area. It’s the equivalent of your US cell phone being able to choose between Cingular/AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Nextel and Sprint for the strongest signal every time you make a call, so the quality is always the best. And quality is obviously the most important feature of a cell phone service!

2Convenient but overpriced  Oct 12, 2007 By Frequent traveller
Having a SIM card that does not incur a monthly or yearly fee is convenient when one travels abroad only occasionally and for a very short time.

The per minute price for this convenience is excessive, however. It costs much less (on a per minute basis) even to use a satellite phone (Iridium or Globalstar); satphone calls are about $1/minute and can be placed from anywhere, including the middle of the ocean where there is no cellular coverage. By far the least expensive and most convenient option is to buy a SIM card at any one country one arrives at; most of them sell them in kiosks at their respective airports. Outgoing calls to the US would be 10-20 cents/minute, outgoing local calls would be 1-2 cents/minute, and incoming calls would be free; by contrast, all of these calls would be over $2/minute with the mobal SIM card.

1Worth no stars at all DON'T BUY!!!!!!  Dec 22, 2007 By N. hayes "orielwindowster"
I've always just bought an international phone card when I've traveled but decided to take my own phone this one time and try one of these sim cards. Well, let me tell you. I made about 45 minuets of calls during a total of 3 weeks and my overall bill was $176. So, if you do the math, I could have spend about $13 American dollars on a 10 euro calling card with 400 minuets and called from the hotel or any public phone....or $176 for less than an hour of calls. This was certainly the worse choice I made for my trip and I advise you to NOT buy this! Amazon.com, please consider taking this off your list of products...it is very misleading and cost consumers way too much money after it is purchased.

1Read the "invisible" fine print  May 08, 2008 By Anamika "Anamika"
I got this Sim card as a freebie from Amazon (along with the purchase of an unlocked phone) and to activate the Sim, I was asked to give my credit card details and the Customer Service rep wasn't very convincing about whether I'd get $20 worth of free minutes. And, when I asked if the Sim would let me know I've used the entire $20 worth, she said NO. I'd be billed on my credit card for extra charges, as long as I use the Sim card.

For people traveling abroad, I'd suggest going with a SIM card from local providers. For calls made from India to US, MOBAL is charging $3.95 per minute whereas, local carriers allow international call for Rs. 10 per minute, which is approximately equivalent to a quarter (25 cents in US).

1a bad choice for travel  Mar 18, 2008 By Janice I. Hayes
My husband and I bought this to take on a trip to England. We are in our 70's and wanted the convienance of using our cell phone we use here in America. We didn't make very many calls but have some how ended up with over $200 in charges on our credit card. We know that we didn't use our phone for much over half an hour so we were shocked when our credit card had been charged for so much. It took us over 2 weeks of trying to contact the support phone number and when we did the young woman said that there were a lot of "connection and fees" charged along with the SIM card. So after we were back home we of course never used the SIM card again but then 1 month later our card was charged for another $25. We have tried to reach the people at the Global Sim telephone number but can't get hold of anyone. We're hoping that there won't be any more charges on our card but we are afraid that we can't seperate our card from this company.

1This card is only for US citizens  Dec 12, 2007 By David Clayton
I bought this sim card but when I tried to activate it, I was told that only people who have a US credit card can do this. This makes the card worthless to me as I neither live in the USA nor have a US credit card. This information should have been prominently posted along with the advertisement for the card.
