With an increase in foreign travel has come the pressing need to keep in contact with those we’ve left back at home. Typically, the further away we are, the more we’ll pay to stay in touch, so charges for calls from Australia to the UK or the rest of Europe can be pretty steep. With an international data sim card you’ll have complete transparency about how much those costs will be. People generally buy a package which allows them to download a certain amount of data, whether in the form of internet surfing, emailing or skyping. Many don’t realize that skype is only free for skype-to-skype calls. So if you’re trying to contact someone by skyping directly to their landline, you’ll have to pay for the privilege. International data sim card packages will cover a given number of hours on skype calls, and after this limit is exhausted, there’ll be a clear pricing structure for subsequent calls, ensuring you won’t have any nasty surprises when you get back home!
France data sim cards – for everything from city breaks to stays in rural gîtes
A France data sim card is just what you need if you’re visiting the world’s number 1 tourist destination. Many people go to France for its unspoilt countryside and the chance to ‘get away from it all’. However, this peace and quiet can also come at a cost – you may find it hard to find a free Wi-Fi connection in deepest, darkest Burgundy, Provence or Normandy. If so, all is not lost! A France data sim package will allow you to stay connected with the rest of the world at a set price. Many of these kinds of deals will enable you to surf the net or check your email in a neighbouring country too, which can be very useful if you’re planning on adding some cross-border destinations to your itinerary.
