Non International Sim-cards - Online
 

I'm looking for sites selling sim-cards that are specific for a particular country, and the should ship abroud.

I know about the discussion: travel to the country, and buy there.
I don't want that, I want the card before I leave.

At present, I'm looking for Brazil, The Netherlands, Germany.
But I want to make a list of sites, just in case.

Anyone?

There's full of those sites, one more expensive than the other... you can look at Orate for example... but it's really a nonsense to buy the cards at those prices, it's even cheaper to use roaming! :D
I can understand for Brazil, but you live very close to Netherlands and Germany, it's really much better to go there...

The price for these cards they offer are indeed way to high.
Now I understand why people 'suggest' to buy a card when you are in the country. The major disadvantage is that you can't communicatie your number to the people left behind, before you leave.

Any other sites known by the gurus here? ;)

For many people, the extra $10 to even $20 is well worth the price to know that's one less thing to deal with when you land. After all, what's $20 when you are spending more than 100 times that on the total trip?

For the Netherlands, you can easily buy online a sim of the MVNO Ortel Mobile.

For Netherlands (or Belgium), I haven't tried ordering IDT mobile from abroad but it looks very likely to be possible. International rates about the same as Ortel and Lebara

As you ask for sites, i would like to recommend my http://www.gsm-prepaid.net ... :-)

I would like to observe that if I want a T-mobile US SIM card, I think I could manage to get one cheaper than your €90

Likewise, a T-mobile Slovakia SIM cost me 399 SKK ~€10 a couple of years ago, so your €55 does not appear to match the instinct of members here to find the best deals

As most of us know, UK SIMs are often given away free, so your €50 to €80 fees look perilously close to extortion

As Effendi said, many such sites resell the SIM cards for such high prices that no saving over roaming charges can easily be foreseen. I am surprised you have the nerve to post this here.


Surely your €24 charge for a £10 UK SIM top-up is only for stupid people that have no concept of exchange rates?

And I can't understand why your O2 UK SIM has no roaming, or your Virgin UK SIM has no data roaming. Did you order these reduced specification SIMs specially? Or do you just not know enough about what you are selling?

I quote everything Andy said... and I add that we don't like spam on this site... I won't delete thl's post since I think it's more interesting to read what Andy wrote just after it...
