UK SIM supplier warns of bill shock

Next time you pop off to Uganda or Thailand for a long weekend with your trusty smartphone and home network SIM card stay away from the internet, Twitter, Facebook and email. And don’t go anywhere near YouTube. Or you may need a bank loan when you return to pay off your monthly phone bill.

That’s because you could pay around £6 for each megabyte of data from these two countries to the UK. And Uganda is one of the most expensive countries in the world to use your home SIM card from.

Other eye-watering tariffs will also hit you if you dare to use your device in India £1.65 per MB) or China (£1.20 per MB).

This useful information comes to you courtesy of ritesim.com who are naturally hoping you will now pop over to their web site and buy one of their pay-as-you-g0 SIMS for more than 40 countries.
