Schoolâs out, the weatherâs beautiful and everyoneâs looking to make some summer vacation plans! International tourism is still on the rise and summer is one of the most popular times to hit the road (or airways).
So pack your clothes, your fun money, your passport and definitely donât forget your international SIM card.

Why purchase an international SIM card?
An international SIM card will help you stay connected with friends and families while youâre abroad. Your home network wonât be available to you while youâre in a foreign country, and even if your service provider allows you to roam internationally, youâre going to be smacked with an enormous bill when you return home.
Swapping your phoneâs current SIM card for an international one, however, will let you skip the roaming charges and talk, text and surf the internet without worry. You prepay for the data on an international SIM card, so you canât go over your limit. And an international SIM will work in multiple countries, making them perfect for global itineraries.
So unlocking your phone and purchasing a new SIM with some data to go with it should be at the top of your travel priorities list. With some careful shopping, you can save hundreds by purchasing an international SIM card.
Why not get a local SIM card instead?
Local SIM cards are SIMâs you buy in each country you visit. Each is valid only in its original country and data can only be purchased through local data providers. Local SIM cards can sometimes be cheaper for very long stays in one country, but for the global traveller, theyâre usually more hassle than theyâre worth. They often require you to know a foreign language to properly set them up and some countries, like Japan, do not even offer local SIMâs to foreign tourists. An international SIM is almost always your safest bet.
How to get free data with an international SIM through BNESUMMER
If youâre planning on hitting up Europe or Asia on your trip, you can get an even sweeter deal on data through BNESIM.
BNESIM offers one of the best international SIM cards around with huge savings on travel data. Their data is valid in 170 different countries and they offer great perks to their customers (including free calls and texts between BNESIM users). Now for the rest of this summer, theyâre offering an extra GB of data free to anyone who purchases their unlimited Asia or unlimited Europe packages. That extra GB wonât expire, either, and is valid in any of BNESIMâs 64 internet home countries.
Does 1GB of data not sound like much? Itâs actually more than it seems. You could view over 3,000 web pages with a single GB of data. Itâs also plenty of space for more WhatsApp and Facebook than the average traveller could ever dream of.
BNESIM vs. other international SIM cards
Even without the free GB of data, BNESIM has a lot of advantages over other international SIM providers.
- Free friend calling
As mentioned, BNESIM allows free calls and texts between people who use their application. This can save you a ton of money if youâre travelling in a group.
- No roaming fees
Not all international SIMâs are created equal. BNESIM is the one company that truly lets you use your phone free from the fear of roaming. You buy only the data you want up front or top off any time, and there are no surprise charges or fees anywhere along the way.
- Multi-format SIM
Did you know SIM cards come in different sizes? What size SIM card does your phone use? With BNESIM you donât have to worry about mistakenly ordering the wrong size SIM. Their cards are one size fits all, from standard to nano and everything in between.
- Multiple lines
BNESIM SIMâs come with a free international number. But they also allow you to purchase extra phone numbers if you need to.
- No data expiration
Itâs not just the BNESUMMER promotion that offers expiration-free data. All data purchased through BNESIM come safe from blackout dates. As long as your account remains active, you can roll data over from one trip to the next as many times as youâd like. So thereâs no worry that youâll over-purchase and waste your money.
- Reusable
Right now when you buy data through BNESIM, the SIM card you get is also free. And youâll be able to use it for as many trips as youâd like. Unlike a local SIM which is only valid in its initial country, a BNESIM international SIM can be used time and time again all over the world.
