Summary:
This SIM card provides service in 160 countries. Save 60% on calls.
(Requires an unlocked GSM cell phone)
In conjunction with an unlocked GSM cell phone, an international SIM card allows you to make and receive calls while traveling at low cost. Instead of using your current carrier's SIM card (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.), or instead of the clumsy method of buying different SIM cards for each country you are visiting, you can just buy this one sim card, install it, and 'stay in touch' both by voice and email.
This prepaid SIM card requires you to buy prepaid minutes in advance.
