You can also save a lot on phone calls
Many are familiar with the situation where a mobile phone is not used during the entire vacation because a single call can cost a considerable amount. And all communication with friends and relatives is reduced to sending SMS messages, while normal conversations are often out of the question.
Unfortunately, roaming tariffs of domestic operators are too high, and for many travelers they are simply ruinous. Sometimes you have to pay an amount comparable to the cost of the vacation itself. Especially if you have to call from another country for work.
The fact is that Russian operators are heavily dependent on their colleagues in other countries, and when tariffs for communication abroad increase, they have to raise roaming tariffs, otherwise they themselves would have to lose considerable sums.
And because roaming is not a cheap pleasure today, the market for tourist SIM cards has begun to actively develop. And there is nothing surprising about this – the difference in the cost of calls can impress anyone. When using them, you have to pay several times less for international calls, sometimes the difference reaches a thousand percent.
Such SIM cards can be used in more than one hundred and eighty countries, while in the seventy most popular among domestic travelers, all incoming calls are free.
For example, while vacationing in Turkey and using roaming services, fifty dollars will be enough for about twenty-five minutes of talk, and you will have to pay for all calls, both incoming and outgoing. Whereas a tourist SIM card allows you to talk for at least one and a half hours for the same money. And all incoming calls will be completely free.
Travelers with such a SIM card will not have to cut off a conversation mid-sentence and check the balance after every minute of talk. They also won't have to limit themselves in any way when communicating with friends, relatives, and colleagues, because the tourist SIM card allows you to make calls at very attractive rates.
And to avoid the hassle of constantly changing SIM cards, it is more convenient to purchase a phone that supports two SIM cards at once – you can buy it with the money saved thanks to the tourist SIM card.
