Used Travelsim when I was in Japan on a business trip and had no issues whatsoever. Had to keep in touch with my dad who was sick at the time and despite his bad hearing he could hear me without issues (something I've got a lot of problems with with other providers). Rates are reasonable for international calls and the calls go through every time. Cheers!

We had some surplus funds left on the cards after traveling in Europe and wanted to use this for email contacts when travelling in Australia.
First of all, 25 c per MB is very expensive.
Second, when trying to use a phone to connect the computer to internet it failed to activate hotspot, responding that if you need a hotspot contact vf.nl. The site vf.nl is actually listed for sale, obviously not vodafone. In the end, we could not send email messages.
The cards worked in Europe, but again to use them is complicated and expensive.
Buying a local SIM is way cheaper and simpler.

The sim actually worked on a cruise ship on my way from Sydney to Noumea. This saved me money having to buy internet from the ship and kept me in touch with my loved ones back in Australia.

Easy to set up, always someone on hand to help via the app or email for those just in cases! Great coverage. Highly recommend when travelling overseas. We used in Fiji and USA. I sometimes had trouble seeing my balance on the app. Apparently this has been updated. We had the double pack sim, which was a free way to communicate within our travel group.

My wife and I and our 4 teenage sons travelled to Japan and Singapore. We all purchased Travel Sims. The free texts between family members was an invaluable way to keep in touch. And the voice rate was low enough for my wife to call her father back in Aus regularly to say hello. Great product. Easiest way to use voice and text while overseas.

Second time we have used Travelsim and second time we have had problems. Travelling in South America we were unable to make calls. Contacted Travelsim and operator was unable to assist so said she would elevate the issue and an "engineer" would ring us back. Heard nothing (but did receive a survey form) until the day before we were due to return to Australia. Would not recommend Travelsim based on our experience.

Had to go to England for a funeral just before Christmas was fantastic to keep in contact with family at home

I use my travel Sim when travelling and at home as a back-up. A great easy to use service with fast balance check and recharge.
Many thanks, Bill

A real saver overseas. Helps in keeping in touch with home at a very nominal rate. Prefer this phone than taking your Optus or telegraph on roa

Travel Sim allowed for easy and convenient phone and message access to home while traveling without the worry of international roaming fees from my provider in Australia.

So easy to set up, check your balance and recharge - have used it in New Zealand and the USA mainly to send text messages.

Will definitely consider using it again overseas. Easy to use, great service, low credit prompt alerts that maintain connections. Good data packages.

This was our first trip overseas and the customer service team were incredibly friendly and helpful setting everything up. Would definitely recommend TravelSim to friends and family as super easy to use!!!

It's easy for me to use. Adding value back onto the TravelSim is so easy and checking the Balance is fantastic and doesn't cost anything to check. Will continue to use it when I travel. I have rang from overseas and the person on the phone was very helpful and solved my issue straight away as I'm not that text savvy. Thank you.

Thank you for the heads up. I was about to activate two TravelSim cards which I received complimentary when I bought travel insurance for my partner and myself. I've read enough bad reviews here to deter me from bothering with activating them. I like the idea, the packaging and website look nice and slick too, but if it's cheaper and less hassle just buying a local sim card I'm not going to risk paying extra or having issues with my iPhone when I need to switch back to my Telstra sim service.

Travel sim is great way to make and receive calls overseas without breaking the bank. It also means that you have an Australian mobile number for your friends and relatives to easily use to contact you when you are overseas

When we first started traveling there were No GPS or Mobile Phones. TravelSim now keeps us in touch with family and friends. Many institutions such as those doing Transfers, also require a mobile [Cell ] phone to contact clients .
