Should you Buy an Overseas Sim Before you travel?

You’ve got your bags packed, all set to have the best stay in Germany, and all set to begin your study abroad journey. Now, imagine you’re at the airport waiting for your cab (the one you’ve booked through us) to show up but you’re having trouble finding your driver!!! Or you suddenly feel the need to talk to your parents back home to let them know you’ve reached. What do you do then? Do you look for a payphone around you? Wouldn’t it just be easier if you could use the mobile phone in your hand? That’s right, none of this would be scary if you had purchased an overseas SIM before you decided to book your flight.

In this article, we will be sharing with you some important things you need to look for in an international SIM.

What we need to look for before opting for an International SIM Card before heading over to accommodation like Urbanum Uninest Frankfurt? (only for display on screen)

●Make sure your overseas SIM card works on multiple networks (also displayed on-screen)

International SIM is such that it works on multiple networks in different geographical locations around the globe. For example, many phones in the U.S. and Canada are tethered or locked to use the local infrastructure as set by the respective mobile network provider.

●Look for a prepaid plan

Try and go for a prepaid plan so that you pay only for the calls you make or texts you send. This means there are no hidden charges waiting to surprise you. Just be sure to check the various plans offered by your service provider.

●Your SIM is compatible with your device

Whether you’re using an iPhone or an Android device (show your phone), the SIM cards are compatible with every type of smartphone. And that’s not all, you can also use them with your tablet.

Now that you’ve got a better understanding of what you need to look for in a SIM card, take a look at University Living’s Overseas SIM service.

With the help of our latest service, you can rest assured that you’ll have your overseas SIM card before you even reach the country you’ve decided to make a home in, especially in Georg-Voigt-StraBe accommodation in Frankfurt.

Overseas SIM services will be activated the minute you reach your destination, and when your plan has expired you can easily top up online, from the comfort of your sofa. We’ve got different plan types depending on how much (or how little) you like to talk

You should also know that the cost of buying a SIM card from India and using it is actually much lower than buying local call cards in every country you visit. That way you will save a lot of money since you pay the local rate applicable to the country you are residing in.

So be sure to get yourself one of these and stay connected throughout your duration of stay in accommodations like Urbanum Uninest Frankfurt and other ideal stay options for you.
