Prepaid SIM cards, for which usage?<\/a><\/h2>\n

With plenty of offers available, and prices that are dangeroiusly close to abonments, prepaid SIM cards<\/strong> can be more useful than simply avoiding a recurring and annoying contract with an operator.<\/p>\n

For our own use, such as going on a world tour<\/a> or simply browsing Internet choosing the right bikini<\/a> at home, we use the DRIMSIM<\/a> card, an international SIM<\/a> card that offers great rates everywhere around the world.However, when turning on a mobile VPN<\/a> to secure your phone<\/a> or doing a lot of online swimsuit<\/a> shopping, it might be cheaper and more efficient to get a local SIM: depending on the country you are in, Lycamobile<\/a> SIM cards and Lebara<\/a> SIM cards are available in nearly whole Europe, Virgin mobile<\/a> covers most English speaking countries with some specificities for Australian SIM<\/a> cards, and Claro mobile<\/a> covers most of Latin America. For North America and Africa, the best being to go with your international SIM<\/a> card or to get local ones once landing in the country.<\/p>\n

We asked 3 experts what are their usage for prepaid SIM cards<\/strong> and which ones they use – their answers might surprise you!<\/p>\n

Anh Trinh, GeekWithLaptop: use Flexiroam international SIM card<\/a><\/h2>\n
I am stationed in Vietnam and I often travel to other countries as I do business. Since I do this often, I\u2019ve bought a lot of prepaid SIM cards<\/strong> for different countries. These sims are a mix of business and personal use. I mainly use them to access the internet to either contact my clients or pass the time.<\/p>\n
However, I\u2019ve realized this was inefficient and costly. I had to pay for ridiculous rates for internet access that I\u2019ll be using for a few days. Most prepaid does allow for daily or by data use but they are still expensive to use!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
