Review:

Sim4Travel is the most established Sim card provider in the United Kingdom, their customer services is excellent and they deliver the cards within 2 days or shorter should you need express delivery.
Sim4Travel is easy to top-up online and you can login and pay in minutes. You will get a Jersey UK mobile number from them this will cost a little more for your user but it gives you free inbound calls, but it still looks like a UK mobile number.
Sim4Travel is available in a number of stores, which non of the other cards are, Sim4travel can be bought in Tesco’s, Carphone warehouse, Boots, Phones4You and you get it with Expedia and Lastminute.com plus BA and Easy Jet also sells the cards
Sim4Travel have a good cover worldwide and the free calls are available in 50 countries, sim4travel offers a service for people who had their old +423 card for free, which is more than can be said about most of the other providers. It is our most recommended card and sim4travel receives 5 out of 5 in our roaming sims rating.

Customer Service:

Excellent, Sim4travel Customer Service is available both via email and telephone and will always be helpful and answer your questions, they also have an online balance on their website you can keep an eye on calls and they are transparent in their pricing.

Quality of Calls:
You can’t tell the difference from a normal call, in one situation in France it was almost clearer than a direct call using our mobile operator.

Call Connection:
The fastest call-back be we have tried so far, it almost didn’t seem as it was call back and there was no error messages on the phones we tested it on.

Text Messaging:
As easy as normal Text messaging, the text messages arrives as your Sim4Travel number and the recipient can reply to that number instantly.

Data Roaming:
Not Available yet, but Sim4travel have plans to roll out data roaming this year

Coverage in Canada for calling to canadian numbers in canada is practically non existent. states wrong syntax for area code interrogation and system is always busy , and asks to try again later but never got through . Could not be relied upon to make a call Canada to Canada numbers, so was useless for purpose purchased for. No one received texts sent Canada to Canada numbers . Was able to text OK and the odd call when system did not say it was busy. Also did not respond every time to 0044 prefix but would respond to +44 when contacting UK

I have used a sim4travel simcard for my skiing holiday over christmas, and for a weekend in Dubai with my wife, it worked and the quality was excellent, and best of all I must have saved almost £70 on my calls. So I recommend Sim4Travel. Even the text messaging alone saved me enough to pay for the card in a week.

Roaming News:
16 July 2008, Viviane Reading ( European Commision) Advises Mobile Operators to cut Roaming Charges on Text messages and Data Charges, "This evidence shows that text and data roaming prices have remained too high compared to the actual costs incurred by operators"

In response the roaming advisor says: "As we have said for a long time on Roaming Advisor, it's still important to check mobile roaming charges before going abroad and with Roaming Solution Providers offering Data soon, there is a lot of savings to be made using a dedicated Roaming Sim Card. We fear that consumers could be mislead with the new data roaming tariff, as they were with the roaming tariff's introduced last year, it's still very expensive to roam if you are not using a roaming sim card, we hope that consumers and businesses will look at alternatives to using their operators when roaming"
