You have your “unlocked” phone and your clothes packed, you know you’re all set to travel. And you don’t want to pay very expensive roaming charges from your phone provider. The next thing you have in mind is whether to get a local SIM card or purchase one of the global/international SIM cards. Now, I’ll break it down for you, the features and benefits they both offer, so it would be easier for you to decide.
If your answer is YES to the following questions, then you’re better off with the local SIM card.
1. Is this your first and last travel?
2. Will you be away for just two weeks or less?
3. Do you have no one, meaning no family member or no friends at all who are planning to travel?
If you answer NO to those questions, well it’s more beneficial for you to get a Global SIM card/International SIM card instead. If you think that global SIM card costs more, well read more and you can think again.
Global SIM cards like Matrix Global SIM have a lot of advantages. If you’re a frequent traveler whether for business or leisure, or you go out of the country at least twice a year, then you should get one Global SIM card/International SIM card. You can use this is in more than 30 countries around the globe. Also, friends and family can contact you on, one international number. You also have an option to get a dedicated country based number (International SIM card). Can you imagine going from one place to another and buying one local SIM card in each country you’re visiting? Or going through all the hassles of calling your family or friends back home to tell them you have a new contact number? Aside from that, local SIM cards have instructions written in language of that country you got it from. Also, if you encounter any problem, you’re likely to speak to a customer service who speaks the language of the country your visiting.
You may choose to receive the Matrix SIM card prior to your departure so you can try it out first and you can give your numbers to your loved ones, once you reach. In situations like your flight is delayed or you had road emergency, you can be sure that you can keep in touch with them unlike getting a SIM when you reach your destination.
