Anytime you travel abroad, your phone connects to a network in the country you are visiting. This is called roaming. When you make a call while roaming, you incur charges that are much higher than your local charges. The network operator located in the country you are visiting will handle the calls you make and receive. Rather than charging you directly for their services, the new network operator charges your home network operator e.g. O2, Vodafone, T-Mobile, Orange. Your Home network operator adds up its share and you face a hefty bill at the end of the month.

You could find yourself paying as much as £2 a minute (and sometimes even more than that) just to receive a call while you are abroad.

Delivery of stock Products will be made via first class recorded delivery. We will attempt to deliver the goods within five (5) Business Days from clearance of payment. Please note that we cannot be held liable for any delays in the delivery of goods which may not be in our control. If you have any specific requirements, contact our Customer Support team.

The Traveltalk Sim will only work with an unlocked mobile handset. Please be advised, that occasionally handsets are only unlocked to specific networks, if this is the case then it won't pick up on local networks whilst you are away, which is very important. If you are unsure about your phone, try inserting a SIM card from another network into your phone. If it works normally, your phone is unlocked and ready for our Traveltalk SIM card. If a message such as 'SIM card restricted' appears, you will then need to unlock the phone. You can speak to your network operator to obtain the unlocking code or you can unlock most phones at many high street mobile shops. We recommend that you use a 3G mobile phone and that if you have any other mobile handsets that you test before travelling.

Please check our User Guide page to see how to make a call.
