I love travelling both Domestic & Internationally. When we travel Domestic we have no problem in connecting with our loved ones at any point in time. However, if you are a frequent International traveller then you would understand that our modes of communication get restricted. The internet has surely got the world closer, however, for communicating we have to opt for any of the following methods:
- activate our international roaming
- use local communication methods from the destination
- buy calling cards
I personally prefer buying calling cards beforehand for two major reasons.
Firstly, my family needs to know my whereabouts where they can connect with me without any issue.
Secondly, my personal experience.
During one of my official team visit to Egypt, we did not choose the International Roaming option as it was damn expensive for 4 days. Hoping that we would have some local options available, we went ahead without choosing the international roaming. The last call to my family was when I boarded the flight from India. We had a transit flight and when we finally reach our destination, I was eager to call and inform my family. We tried to contact them once we refreshed ourselves, however, the hotel communication was not working for some reason, plus the adhering to the itinerary becomes important when travelling in a group. I borrowed my colleague’s phone – the only person who chose international roaming. I spoke exactly for 60secs to keep my family updated on the status and promised to call them from our first location on the itinerary – the Egypt Museum. Once there I was expecting some option to call my family from there but the search ended in a disappointing way. I just could not find an option. My prayers got answered in the name of calling cards. They were very expensive –beyond imagination. I ended up speaking to my family with one eye on the time. Communicating throughout the visit was difficult as the cards weren’t available everywhere. I learnt a hard lesson and told myself to be prepared for this in future.
Even with WiFi option – restriction is there. We need good connection and also have to include the time difference. WiFi could be irritating at times.
Since then in my travel list, I have a travel SIM card mentioned. I purchased my TSIM’s International SIM cards for a single or multi-country depending on my travel.
Reasons for choosing TSIM?
- Country-specific card. Multi-country options are also available. I personally have a Refundable Lifetime Global SIM Card because it works in 165 countries.
- Depending on the country I get maximum benefits of call and data options.
-
- best calling rates
- excellent after sales service
- tailored-made plans/ flexibility
- I can do online recharge and get things organised in advance.
- Most importantly it’s trustworthy.
- I also can buy travel medical insurance and travel accessories from the same site.

This sounds really helpful. I live in the UK but I often have guests from India here. My sister-in-law and my nieces come here atleast twice a year and they have to get their international roaming activated everytime. I am going to suggest them International calling cards and forward this post to her. She is coming again in June so she can save some money in Roaming.
Glad you found it useful 🙂

I am a frequent flyer and I think at times you just take getting an International calling card before hand so lightly. But it is really important preparation before international travel. Will check TSim.

That’s quite useful and impressive The card has a lot of benefits. Makes communication easier while travelling especially short term.
Yes 😊
So this post reminded me of my telecom days when we used to design ICC. Yes the main reason of these cards is that they don’t cost you a lot of bucks compared to what you could incur if IR is on.
True that 😊
You make some good points here and I have never tried TSIM before. To be honest, I’ve had a bad experience with other international calling card companies!
One bad experience really makes you cautious but I am sure with TSIM you wont be disappointed 🙂
