Winners and losers at the Winter Olympics
Savvy travellers who plan to visit, or even compete at the Winter Olympics in Canada (12th-28th Feb) could end up losing out due to the high mobile roaming charges that still apply in long haul destinations like Canada.UK networks still charge up to £1.50p/min to make a call so mobile users could find they lose out as a result of their huge mobile bill when they return. However, those that adopt a roaming solution for 0044.co.uk will be the real winners, with Global SIM products and a Canada SIM that offer free incoming calls and cheap rates back to the UK.
0044.co.uk has introduced solutions for the Canada Winter Olympics in the form of a Canada SIM and a Global SIM. Both the Global SIM and Canada SIM will enable a user to avoid roaming charges and means they can receive calls for nothing whilst making calls from only 30p/min. Data services are also available on the Global SIM and means you can access email on your handset during your stay at the Canada Winter Olympics.
Carl Austin of 0044 Ltd commented, "Over the years we've managed to help thousands of people avoid roaming charges by providing a simple and easy to use pay-as-you-go Global SIM cards. However, with a growing number of people spending the ski season in Canada working, or indeed visiting the Winter Olympics it makes sense to offer these specific solutions to help avoid roaming charges when they are there. The Global SIM and Canada SIM are available from only £19.99 and will work in any unlocked handset.
