Hi Ozbargainers!

This is my first post on Ozbargain and I hope I can impress our bargain hunting community!

My name is Sofia, I’m an avid traveller – you will often find me interstate or overseas. One of the key issues I have faced with travel is the hefty international roaming charges and the availability of a destination sim card.

This is the key reason I have founded www.simcardsfortravel.com

Is this 60% off the normal price of $50?

if so how do I apply your code?
- Store Repsimcardsfortravel @ SimCardsForTravel on 22/07/2015 - 10:40
  
  Hi rob74, this is 60% of RRP which is $60USD in the states as can be seen here http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/individual.html.
  On our website we have it for $50,but with the discount code you get it for $25, which you put in the checkout page.

      Hi AnophthalmiaCervidae, The Sim Pack that we are providing is the Simple Choice Monthly prepaid plans. These are still prepaid and 30 day based, but they allow hotspotting and do not cap 4g speed like the Simple prepaid plans. So this pack is far superior to the other Prepaid Plan, featurewise.

    Same as @mahgo, I would be interested to know if this sim card has any specific activation date?

    - Store Repsimcardsfortravel @ SimCardsForTravel on 22/07/2015 - 12:28
      
      roberto7, No this database is maintained by me and my team, this ensures no personal information is shared or given to any third party. In any case we would still recommend emailing us first if its to do with any activation issue, as we have direct contact with T-mobile. You do have the choice to go to a T-mobile store directly for any other issues, but if its urgent we wouldn't want you wasting time so you can grab any other sim card, and we will gladly give you a refund on the simcard you purchased with us.

  I'd like to know this too. The T Mobile site says:
  
  Music Freedom™ with unlimited music streaming on our network from top services such as Pandora and iHeart Radio without using your data.
  
  and then
  
  *** Includes unlimited music streaming on services like Pandora, iHeartRadio and more that doesn’t count against your 4G LTE data.
  
  There's a list of the music streaming services here
  
  I wonder whether this applies to these travel sims or whether it is a modified plan to include:
  
  Unlimited International Calls to Australian Landlines; and
  
  Unlimited International SMS to Australian Mobiles.
  
  There's also this:
  
  Unlimited data and texting when you travel to any of 120+ countries and destinations so you can stay connected when you’re abroad.
  
  I can't find a list of the 120+ countries but it seems unlikely to me that this would be included.

      @ocallaghans: We have been advised that the sims will only work in the USA and won't work in Canada or Mexico.

  Not the rep, but 'Simple Choice North American Plans' are only available to US residents. Looking at t-mobile site, I believe this is the 'Simply Prepaid' 3GB plan with the $10 'Stateside International Talk' option = $US60 for AU$25 - great deal. Also if going for >30days, buy multiples of these simcards while they're on offer as recharging is more expensive.

    This sounds right to me. but the op has stated above that it is not a Simply Prepaid plan.

      unfortunately, you will note be able to use it in Vancouver. The sim will only work in the USA.
