What is a Travel SIM Card?

UniquePhones > Travel > What is a Travel SIM Card?

A travel SIM card replaces the usual SIM card used by your phone. It is a very small microchip that contains all the identification and information for your individual account with a SIM card carrier.

The travel SIM card enables you to place and receive calls for much less than your contract carrier's international rates. It is an easy thing to switch out provided your phone is unlocked. To unlock your phone, please check our unlocking section. To learn more about various SIM card carrier options, try our SIM card tool.

Think of a travel SIM as a sound way not to pay huge international roaming charges.
