A gap year or career break is the ideal way to explore the world but unless you are careful you can rack up some huge bills along the way. The website www.0044.co.uk now provides an alternative solution to international mobile roaming; meaning that you can avoid the bills and share the thrills with friends and family whilst traveling or working your way around the world.

Staying in touch by using your mobile phone abroad can costs hundreds of pounds. Not only are you charged premium rates to make a call you are also charged to receive calls. Now all of this extra expenditure can be avoided by using a new solution provided by mobile roaming specialists 0044 Ltd. By purchasing Global SIM card (the small removable chip inside your handset) on the website at www.0044.co.uk and having your hand set unlocked, roaming charges can be avoided, calls made are at local rates and incoming calls and texts are free.

Mobile users are confused and often unaware of premium call charges of as much as £2.00pmin to make and receive calls whilst abroad, resulting in millions of UK travellers receiving huge bills when they return home to the UK.

Angus MacLeod, director of 0044 Ltd commented, “I needed to take my mobile abroad even though it was costing me a fortune, but my UK network could not present me with a cheap solution so I found one for myself. The Global SIM card kept me in control of my call costs, saved me a considerable amount of money and has now become a thriving business. Like many of the best ideas in life, our Global SIM service is simple. We aim to offer a solution to gap year and student travelers in particular, who need to work on tight budgets yet stay safe and in touch at the same time”.
