How do I get a SIM card for the country I'm traveling to and how much will it cost?
Most people wait until they arrive at their destination before purchasing their SIM card. Of course every country is a little different but Pre-Paid SIM cards are generally sold in shops, markets, convenience stores and even some gas stations. Just look around the cash register area and you should see a display or ask the clerk for SIM cards ("SIM card" is a widely accepted international term and is understood in almost EVERY language). Cost also varies depending on the amount of calling time that comes with the SIM. We recommend purchasing the basic SIM with just a little calling time and then adding Top-up or refill time as needed. Basic SIM cards usually only cost between $2 and $7 and refill cards come in an assortment of denominations ranging from $3 to $20. Unless you plan on spending a lot of time on the phone, don't buy too much calling time. You can always purchase another refill card if you start running low. The SIM card comes in a package that almost always include English instructions, so take a minute to read them, then follow the simple directions to install and activate your SIM. Do it once and you'll feel like an old Pro.
