Cover-More adds Global SIM card
Travel insurer Cover-More has launched a Global SIM card for Australian travellers.
Cover-More says its call and data rates are up to 90% cheaper than the standard roaming rates charged by the major telcos.
Cover-More claims to be the first travel insurer in the world to include a free Global SIM with the purchase of a travel insurance policy.
Australian travellers are being offered the Global SIM free with the purchase of a Cover-More policy through Flight Centre, Harvey World Travel, Escape Travel, Travelscene American Express, Student Flights and other retail travel agents.
Cover-More marketing and strategy manager Zac Brookes said: "Our free Global SIM enables travellers to stay safe and connected. More than 10 million Australians own a smartphone, but research shows most of us leave our phones at home when we head overseas due to the high costs of roaming."
The Cover-More Global SIM is prepaid for calls and data. The SIM works in more than 100 countries and is compatible with most recent mobile phones and tablets, including iPhone 5, iPad mini and Samsung Galaxy s4.
Cover-More emergency assistance numbers come pre-programmed on the Global SIM, and Cover-More can keep travellers informed of world events that may impact their travel plans or their safety.
