How TravelSIM Works

What is TravelSIM?

TravelSIM is an easy to use prepaid service, designed to greatly reduce the cost of using your mobile phone when travelling overseas.

With TravelSIM you get a new international number (not a NZ number) and SIM card that you place in your existing handset and use everytime you go overseas.
