You may well have heard of services like 0044 or Sim4Travel, claiming to offer cheap calls. Here are some things you should know about these two companies and their products, and why the uk2abroad service offered by SaveMoneyOnRoaming.com is better.

0044

  • 0044 sells you a foreign SIM card. That's it - you cannot receive calls on your UK number.
  • Your callers will have to call you on your foreign number, which is expensive, inconvenient and error-prone.
  • 0044 SIM cards are also much more expensive than uk2abroad SIM cards.
  • 0044 only offers SIM cards for 17 countries - we offer many more countries.

Sim4Travel

  • Sim4Travel offers you a SIM card based in Liechtenstein.
  • Your callers will have to call a Liechtenstein number to speak to you! You don't pay for incoming calls, but your callers pay to call you!
  • Sim4Travel charges you 40p per minute to speak to their customer care!
  • Sim4Travel SIMs are relatively expensive, and only come with 5 EUR (Euro) credit.

uk2abroad compared with the rest

As you can see from this table, for many destinations our SIM cards are around £20 cheaper than 0044, and 50% cheaper than Sim4Travel. In some cases, 0044 and Sim4Travel does you a little bit more credit, but our cheaper SIMs more than make up for this.
