Expats & regular travelersrecommended by The Sunday Times, Everything France and Living Spain.
If you are lucky enough to be moving abroad or travel to one destination more than once a year then our local foreign SIM cards can save you a small fortune. The local SIM cards work on a Pay As You Go basis therefore you are always in control, instantly contactable (no need to wait for a landline to be installed) and you do not have to pass any credit checks. A foreign mobile SIM card is perfect for keeping you in touch with loved ones that you have left behind as well as helping you organise your new life. Compared to taking your UK SIM card you can save up to 80% on call costs. You will also receive your new number before you leave the UK so that you can hand it out to friends and family. In addition to this people in the UK will be able to call from just 10ppmin by dialing our access numbers first and the best part is that you will not get charged to receive the call! Every month we help thousands of people obtain French mobile SIM cards, Spanish mobile SIM cards, Portuguese mobile SIM cards and Greek mobile SIM cards.

Business Travellerrecommended by the Sunday Times.
Roaming costs abroad are extortionate. If you are traveling to a specific destination our foreign SIM card packs will enable you to reduce your communication costs dramatically. For example our USA SIM, Chinese SIM and Thai SIM cards are extremely popular with business travelers.

However if you are traveling to multiple destinations local SIM cards may not be as convenient as our new Global SIM card. With our Global SIM you can travel throughout 91 countries worldwide and avoid mobile roaming charges. It also provides an ideal solution for people wanting India SIM cards and Kenyan SIM cards.

Gap year students, studying or working abroad endorsed by Gapwork.com and Gapyear.
At last a solution to saying in touch whilst on your gap year now exists. If you are planning to stay for more than a month in one particular destination our foreign SIM cards, especially the Australian SIM card, New Zealand SIM card and Thai SIM card will allow you to receive calls for free and call home from just 7p/min! A foreign SIM card is ideal if you are looking for employment, traveling with friends or in close contact with home.

However if you are planning to move destination regularly then our Global SIM card is ideal. The SIM card will work in 76 countries and provide you with continuous coverage throughout your global travels. In addition to this the SIM card has a UK mobile number so your friends and family can contact you at anytime for the price of a local UK mobile call from a landline.

UK Visitor
If you are visiting the UK then you must consider purchasing a cellular UK SIM card (England SIM). Our cellular UK SIM card from Mobile World costs just $18.00 and we deliver internationally for $7.00. The UK SIM card can save you up to 90% and possesses the lowest international calling rates from any SIM card in the UK. For example you can call the USA & Canada for just $0.08/min! In addition to this all incoming calls are Free. The UK SIM card is perfect for international students, businessmen or people who are migrating to the UK (England, Wales, Scotland or N.Ireland). Along with the SIM you will also get your new UK mobile telephone number before you leave.

EU text rates to drop but roaming still applies…

The EU commission has succeeded in capping UK network mobile roaming charges for mobile phone users across Europe, and has now introduced plans to cap the text rates in the summer of 2009. However, the caps still mean that a UK user in Europe continues to pay to receive all calls and will be charged around three times the price of a UK domestic call when abroad. 0044 now provides two options to help you beat the charges that remain. A global SIM or international SIM card from 0044.co.uk means you can still receive calls abroad for free and make calls at dramatically lower rates. Also available is the French SIM card and Spanish SIM card which can make and receive calls in those destinations at far cheaper rates. read more
