Is it interesting to get a local SIM card on a trip ?

The question of the best way to use to pass communications abroad arises during each trip. Using your mobile phone package abroad would quickly lead you to ruin, so you think you are buying a local SIM card. But have you taken the time to think about all the conditions related to this use ? Here is a summary of the advantages and disadvantages of such a telecommunications solution abroad.

The advantages and limits of the local SIM

The most obvious advantage is to be able to call at locally reasonable prices. Finding a SIM in a foreign country will only ask you for a few minutes, they are often sold in tobacco offices, post offices, airports as well as in supermarkets. A first problem may arise, the language barrier. If you go to an Asian country or even to Eastern Europe without having any concepts in the local language, it will be difficult for you to understand the prices and conditions of use of SIM.

A local SIM still represents a cost that can be significant if you wish to contact mobile phones. In addition, to be able to use this SIM your phone must be unlocked. Most of the phones purchased in your country of origin are blocked to operate with a single operator. So you may have to buy a mobile phone on site.

Disadvantages and alternatives

Buying a SIM can quickly become a real obstacle course. Pricing is not always clear and the compatibility of your phone is not ensured. Most often, local sellers will offer you to buy a phone to benefit from the best communication rates. So as not to have to worry about such problems there are alternatives.

It is possible to buy prepared telecommunications cards in the country in question. You will be sure not to get out of your budget. You can also use public telephone booths or “Taxiphone” stores but you will quickly realize that all this limits the duration of your communications. It is not possible to phone without worrying about the time going.

Much simpler and economical solutions exist, however! Thanks to VoIP technology you will be able to call at an unbeatable price or even for free all over the world. One of the leaders providing this type of service is Rebtel which offers privileged applications and prices in more than 200 countries.
