Christmas time - Christmas gifts event_available 16/10/2019

Christmas is just around the corner. For many, this means stress. Preparations pile up and then you still have to get the Christmas presents. But once again you're wondering what you could give your loved one?
We can help you with that! What about a trip? Experiences and memories are more valuable than material objects. Giving away a trip alone or even a trip for two could be a great pleasure for your loved ones. Maybe your boyfriend or girlfriend has longed for a trip to Australia, Asia or Egypt. There are many beautiful countries to visit. So this would be a perfect Christmas present.

Do you have friends, family or relatives who like to travel often? How about a homemade book. Sounds strange at first. However, this can be a very nice and personal gift. Of course not just any book, but a self-made book with tips, tricks and memories on how to make your trip easier. Do you know that a friend is about to travel abroad in the near future? Then you could even put in the book the best restaurants, places, or landmarks your friend should have seen. In addition, you could even add pictures of yourself so that your loved one keeps a memory of you even on a long trip. Each photo has a story and a wonderful moment that you will fondly remember. Imagine that you have been in Australia or Asia for a long time and you will surely miss your loved one. With a look at the self-made book, memories emerge and you don't feel so lonely on a long trip.
This can be of great help abroad and, in addition, this is a nice gift that you will always remember and have a look at again and again.

Roaming in Thailand event_available 12/10/2019

Are you planning a trip to beautiful Thailand? Perfect! Because you have to see Thailand. But before you leave, you should make a concrete plan. Do you already know that you will feel uncomfortable without an internet connection? Understandable! Who doesn't do it these days? You currently have many different ways of getting internet access. But which is the best variant?
The first suggestion would be “roaming” for most people. Sure, the variant is quick and easy. You don't have to deal with any operators abroad, you just switch on roaming. However, most do not know what the costs are. These are considerably large and mostly not manageable. The total roaming charges could be more expensive than the entire trip. Nobody wants to risk that choice.
Our variant would be to get a SIM card before you travel. This saves time, effort and costs. Everything you need on vacation or on a business trip. The advantages are: You are not contractually bound. You only pay for the SIM card. Furthermore, security is very high here, because you will receive the SIM card before you leave. These are important points to consider, especially when traveling to Thailand.

Have you ever been to the Canary Islands? event_available 12/10/2019

The Canary Islands are one of the most popular tourist destinations. They belong to Spain, but they still give us a feeling of an exotic vacation.
Each one is different and special in its own way.
But what about internet access in the Canary Islands?

Roaming was abolished in the European Union in June 2017, which unfortunately does not mean that we have free internet access. Depending on what tariff you have with your operator, the costs depend on it.

Now you are wondering how you can enjoy cheap Internet abroad?
There are definitely several options.
Public hotspot
Nowadays you can find WiFi access almost everywhere in public places. No matter whether in the restaurant, bars or shopping malls.
Depending on how much internet you need, this could be an option.
But be careful! Public hotspots usually have an unsecured network. This can mean that your data can be intercepted. So be very careful where you sign up.
However, if you want or need to be online and accessible at all times, there is another option.

SIM cards
With SIM cards from Simtravellers, you are always reachable and have the best internet access. You choose the GB amount yourself, here again it depends, of course, on how much Internet you use. Once you've used up your budget, you can simply top it up again. Perfect on a Canary Island. The SIM card will be sent to you before your trip, so you have the best internet access on your trip since day 1.
