Tips for using your cellphone abroad

"OneSimCard sell SIM cards that work in about 200 countries. A big benefit: You keep the same card, and the same cellphone number, as you travel from one country to the next. OneSimCard excels if you’ll be receiving more incoming calls, and it offers highly competitive rates for outgoing calls."

OneSimCard International SIM Review & Rating
Editor Rating: 4 stars, "Excellent"


Free incoming calls nearly everywhere. Lots of calling options. Flexible Web-based account management.

"OneSimCard is a terrific tool for people who are traveling abroad and who expect to be receiving a lot of calls. Pop the card into your phone and you'll get much lower rates than you would just roaming with your carrier. OneSimCard's major strength is its free incoming calls in 150 countries. You should definitely consider OneSimCard if you're doing a multi-country journey, especially if you're a big talker. We rated OneSimCard 4 [out of 5] stars and strongly recommend it."

Frugal Traveler: How to Avoid a Smartphone’s Bite

"As many people have learned the hard way, calling and texting while abroad can bring painful bills. What you should do: If your phone is “unlocked,” meaning you can use other providers, get an international SIM card. I tested OneSimCard's Standard card this summer. Web browsing was surprisingly affordable in many places. Prices have dropped recently, to as little as 25 cents a megabyte with OneSimCard’s Daily Data Package. Most of the time, you can travel from one country to another and your phone is unfazed, simply switching from one local company to another. You load your phone with credits and set your account to reload automatically. [They] have excellent American-based customer service."

Travelers, phone home — it's so SIMple

"The global SIM card is like a satellite in your pocket, granting [cell phone] service in nearly every country on the map. I made and accepted numerous calls...with the casualness of sitting at Starbucks on Connecticut Avenue. And I received one of the biggest surprises of my trip when my phone unexpectedly rang in Mongolia. I answered it and heard an earful about the day’s events at home."

6 Tech Must-Haves for International Business Trips
Everything you need to keep pace with business while you're overseas.

"There's one thing you can and should always prepare for in advance: how you're going to get work done, especially on an overseas trip.

2. Get an international SIM card. I tried [OneSimCard] in an HTC One smartphone that was already unlocked. Rates vary by country and incoming calls are often free but outgoing calls run between 25 cents and 69 cents per minute. (Some U.S. carriers charge up to $4 per minute overseas.) OneSimCard [also] provides an app that lets you make Internet calls."

I’m relieved that I can keep on typing without any nasty surprises on my next Rogers bill."

"Use your cellphone outside the U.S. and you're asking for an eye-popping bill.

Reducing Your Travel Bills: Saving Money On Global Calling

"I travel four or five times a year to Asia and Europe. OneSimCard provides a single SIM card that works in nearly every country in the world. The rates are very reasonable to call from international locations to the U.S. or anywhere else in the world. In most countries you don't pay for incoming calls. On a typical trip, one hour of calls will save me $100."

Technology makes for easier traveling

"One of the biggest dilemmas I faced when preparing for this trip was what type of phone to bring along. After two years of research, I purchased an unlocked iPhone, and set up an account through onesimcard.com. I chose a telephone number that would be my international number for life. The rates were good - approximately 40 cents a minute for outgoing calls. Beautiful."
