We are pleased to introduce a revolutionary new global GSM roaming SIM service called World SIM where you can save close to 95% of your international roaming bills. World SIM is a UK based company who have been recently awarded a double Gold Award for Innovation and Best Traveller Services Company 2009 at the Business Travel Show, UK.

Recently introduced in India, travelers can now benefit from World SIM services in over 200 countries including all the major worldwide business and tourist destinations. You can receive calls & text messages free of cost in 80+ countries and make outbound calls at a fraction of the cost of normal operators. These are the latest generation Multi IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identification) PREPAID SIM cards which enable multiple local numbers from different operators to be loaded over the air (OTA) onto a single SIM card.

As a cruise traveler, you are typically traveling to multiple destinations, ports and countries on the same holiday. With your World SIM card, you can now stay in touch with your family, friends and colleagues using the same SIM No. (and not have to worry about taking country specific SIM cards for each country that you are visiting on your cruise). Also you can retrieve your voice mails free of cost when people are trying to reach you when there is no network on the high seas.

WORLDSIM is better than Matrix in several ways:

MATRIX

WORLD SIM

Country Specific SIM Card

ONE GSM card with IMSI technology which can be used in 200+countries making it very convenient for travelers who go to multiple countries on the same trip

Post paid SIM Card Prepaid SIM card – the traveler is purchasing the SIM card

Cumbersome documentation process that includes customer application form, passport & visa copy, approval on tariff plan taken & front and back copy of credit card.

Easy online registration process where the traveler only needs to upload his / her passport copy online to activate the SIM card. WorldSIM is a prepaid SIM card so there is no requirement of credit card details

Security deposit of Rs 5000 (travel upto 1 month) / Rs 10000 (travel more than 1 month) is charged to the credit card. If usage is lower than security deposit amount, refund can take time and follow up maybe required

Prepaid SIM card so there is no requirement of any security deposit. Convenient talk time top up methods & un-utilised talk time does not expire.

Traveler needs to pay a per day rental for the SIM/s.

Traveller owns the World SIM card so there is no question of rental fees. There is a nominal annual renewal charge of GBP 12 to retain the SIM card.

Some tariff plans have surcharges that are applicable as well as peak time rates, night & weekend rates. So the  traveler is not really sure of the actual call tariff till he / she gets the bill   

WorldSIM has divided the world into 6 zones for simple straight-forward easy to use flat rate pricing for both calls and text

SIM Card needs to be returned within 3 days after traveler returns to India. Per day penalty is applicable for delay in returning the SIM card.

Since the traveler owns the SIM card, the same card is used for future trips. And when traveler is in India, he/she can give it to other colleagues or family who are traveling aboard.
