Our Global Network: UK2Abroad is a Global Mobile Virtual

network in whichever country you are in, meaning that we can provide you with
the lowest rates and great coverage.

comes with its own UK mobile number: people can reach you on the same number
wherever you are, and only pay the usual cost of calling a UK mobile number.
[Unlike many Global SIM companies who provide their SIMs with international
mobile numbers or Isle of Man/Jersey/Guernsey numbers - these are expensive for
your customers, friends and family to call!]
Receive calls free: Receive
calls free of charge in over 90 countries - forget extortionate mobile roaming
charges.
Making calls: Make low cost calls straight from your phone book
- no tricky calling systems, just prefix your numbers with our dialling code and

It is free to receive calls in over 90 countries and calls from abroad are from

to FAQs
Why do I need a new SIM card?
In order to save on the cost of using your mobile abroad, you need to be
attached to our global mobile network. This is what the UK2Abroad Global SIM
does: it is the central element of the service, providing you with free incoming
calls and low cost outgoing calls - whether locally or internationally.
Back to FAQs
Will this affect my current phone or
contract?
No - our service is completely independent of your current phone, you simply use
our SIM for making and receiving calls whilst abroad. When you get home, you
simply go back to using your usual UK phone and SIM
You can even put your UK2Abroad Global SIM in a separate phone, thereby having
two handsets - the usual UK phone will work normally - very useful if you have a
Blackbery or want to send text messages. Back
to FAQs
How do I unlock my phone?
You need to have an unlocked phone to use our service. Unlocking allows you to
use your mobile phone on any network (for the purposes of our service, this
allows you to use a local SIM card).
How do I know if my phone is locked? Put in a SIM card
from another mobile network. If it registers on that network, your phone is
unlocked. If it doesn’t, then you phone is locked.
How can I unlock my phone? We provide a free unlocking
service for some Nokias. For handsets we can't unlock, many online services
offer unlocking for a small charge, or you can take your phone to your local
mobile phone shop.
Is unlocking legal? Absolutely. In fact, your mobile
network is obliged to do it for you, although they do charge. We offer an
unlocking service for Nokia phones - other makes of handset can be unlocked at
local mobile phone stores. Please email us with any queries. Back
to FAQs
What do I need to do
before I leave?
- Select and purchase a
UK2Abroad Global SIM and credit
- Receive your package and instructions by e-mail or post
- Check your phone is unlocked
- Swap your UK SIM card with your UK2Abroad Global SIM when you arrive at your
destination
When you have bought and received your UK2Abroad package, check your account set
up online (which only takes a couple of minutes).
You just need to make sure you have an unlocked phone
If you're using our follow-me "Keep Your Number" service, you'll need a
contract/PAYG which supports call diverting, then when you're at the airport or
about to leave the country, you enter a code into your phone which diverts all
your calls to us.
When you arrive you simply put your UK2Abroad Global SIM in your phone and start
saving!
Back to FAQs
Where can I use the
UK2Abroad Global SIM?
Nearly anywhere, and you can receive calls free of charge in over 90 countries.
Select your
destination above for more details.
Back to FAQs
Where can I call and how
much will it cost?
You can anywhere, easily and at very low rates (often the same as using a
calling card - straight from your mobile abroad!).
Select your
destination above for more details.
Back to FAQs
How much will people pay
to call me?
No more than usual - your SIM comes with a UK mobile number (starting 07822...)
which is an OFCOM recognised UK mobile number (however the call may not be
included in free minutes, as we are not part of one of the main UK networks).
People can reach you on the same number wherever you are, and only pay the usual
cost of calling a UK mobile number.
Some Global SIM card companies provide their SIMs with international mobile
numbers or Isle of Man/Jersey/Guernsey numbers - these are expensive for your
customers, friends and family to call!
With our Follow-Me service, you can even keep your usual UK number (so callers
don't even know you're abroad - simply divert your mobile to our network).
Back to FAQs
Does the SIM card/credit
expire?
The SIM card and the credit expires after 12 months. We will contact you in
advance to check you want to renew the SIM (£12/annum) and this extends the life
of the credit by 12 months also.
Back to FAQs
Can I top up my balance?
Top-up online via the Customer Zone at any time (you can access this once you
have made your purchase). If you will not be able to get reliable internet
access during your trip, we suggest ordering some additional credit to cover all
eventualities. We offer a refund policy for unused credit. See the terms and
conditions for further information.
