WorldSIM

Early on this year, got shipped to a different dept in my office where I was supposed to move in States and Mexico every now and then. Though, my office provided me a roaming sim card, that was an absolute crap service. I was not sure exactly which network I chose. So, glanced over some online reviews and compared their tariffs and, finally, decided upon Worldsim. At last, got assurance on my oversea communication with a truly promising brand.

It all works well, but what is really unpleasant is that the warning you are almost out of credit is only sent to you when you have just a few cents left. Immediate action becomes necessary. I found this to be disruptive.

Then, when coming home, I compared the cost I incurred with this product with what I would have paid to my regular provider had I kept my own SIM-card. The difference was negligible.

So next time, I just stick to what I have...

Stay far away from WorldSim, especially if you communicate with Verizon subscribers. I have had horrible experiences with their customer service since I purchased one of their phone/sim products in 2013. It took them two years to discover and/or disclose that the reason I could not send text messages to phones in the US is because they do not have a business agreement with Verizon (one of the largest telecom companies). This is not made known in any of their product information, web pages, etc. For 2 years all they would say is that they are working on the problem that they will fix soon, but had no idea how to solve the problem.

Being an old retiree person, I decided to spend my rest life and money behind moving places. Though I move frequently, needed a data device which would not lead me through hard task for setting up the connection. For the last one year, using WorldSIM card and their Wifi router and power bank. It gave me enough support for data communication. And, additionally got favor from its power bank option. Now I know the ins and outs of this device and this is why it became very easy for me keep going with this device.

So smart choice to moving to WorldSIM. They have a different call and data rates for every individual country. And, if you could manage a few minutes to observe you can get that they are offering the best tariffs what is truly putting in mind the necessity of a traveller. I never cut off any extra charges apart from my regular call charge. So, I feel necessity to inform guys who fly overseas frequently. Only the decision, being with WorldSIM out of UK, can save you a lot of money.

World Sim has been a waste of time and money. People can't call me from the country that I live in. The bank can't call me as they call from special lines. The charity that cares for my family cannot call me for the same reason. I have made 4 or 5 short phone calls and have spent over £30. The data is unaffordable. The person on help chat was slow, unable to manage my expectations, and then extremely defensive. The instructions issued in the pack were in the worst possible English. The website is not user friendly at all, its like a site from the 1990's.

I bought the first Worldsim card 10 years ago at KLM. 2 years ago I bought two more for my employees for Africa. When I locked into my account recently, I had no access anymore to my 3 WorldSim cards which were loaded with app. 140 EUR. So I wrote to the customer service. The answer was: You can buy other cards... This is how they make business. I am still waiting for an answer of a decider at WorldSim in case of a cost-free solution or paying back my deposit, but I am sure - nothing will happen. Be warned with WorldSim.

My new internet solution doing great for me. Unless this Alcatel 4G Mobile Wifi hotspot, literally, my roaming is not comfortable. It supports me having entertainment on roaming with a very little effort. Because, it does not require to fight with for establishing a connection. On average it just takes 5 seconds to catch and run through any network. Moreover, creating an instant hotspot is very possible with this device. Got the WorldSIM data SIM card inserted and smooth enough to surf easy.

Simcard did not connect even though we have excellent at&t reception here in the Santa Cruz Mountains. They had me go through hoops in my ios settings. I asked my money back but have not heard from them since.
