New SIM card 'cuts call costs for travellers'

DUBAI, March 22, 2015

Shaston SA, a Swiss-based company, has introduced an innovative pre-paid GSM card to slash the international roaming charges.

The card removes the fear of huge bills for individual travellers as well as corporates, the company said.

The company's XXSIM is an international prepaid SIM card sold online only and that can be used by companies, associations, public offices, and organisations as well as individuals going often or occasionally abroad. It offers roaming coverage in more than 190 countries while considerably reducing roaming fees, it claimed.

The card allows free incoming calls in more than 150 countries and an unlimited number of free texts. It also allows to surf the web at much lower rates than those applicable in numerous states.

It even allows users, under certain conditions, to be called for free by the national landline numbers in Switzerland (amongst other countries) as well as by the green number in 17 countries. Skype call and other  "web call" functions are also available, the company said.

"As a user travels back to his own country, forwarding calls from the XXSIM to a national mobile is entirely free from charge and saves one from using a duel SIM phone," it said.

Some of the card's features include:
 * No roaming charges for received calls worldwide from about 150 countries. All the Gulf countries have free incoming calls.  
* Outgoing calls abroad are approximately 85 per cent cheaper in comparison with the major EU network operators.  
* There are no monthly fees.
*  Internet by GPRS/3G much cheaper in roaming (starting at €0.5/MB)
* In 17 countries it offers a toll-free number allowing free calls to XXSIM. These 17 countries include Switzerland, Germany, France and the USA.
* From its website one can send free unlimited SMS to any XXSIM.
* From any of the 150 countries with free received calls, the users can place calls from their XXSIM to another XXSIM for €0.19/min only. No matter where the other XXSIM is located.

The cards can be bought online from www.xxsim.com and delivery is free worldwide from Switzerland. - TradeArabia News Service
