More distribution for a SIM which smashes roaming charges
As with all MAXRoam products, the SIM card lets you make and receive calls, text messages and use data for a much lower cost compared to using a normal network operator abroad. The Cork-based Cubic makes this happens by letting users leverage either Wi-Fi or GSM. A user’s phone switches to the cheapest network depending on where they are.
Now, what we’d like is something which can break the iPhone’s tedious lock-in to network operators like O2. I’ve researched this and it basically comes down to getting an unlocked iPhone from Italy or a similar territory. Then it’s easier to use MAXRoam’s service because you can switch SIMs easily and a call can still reach you, and you can also use data. Maybe the solution is just to dump the iPhone?
