Dare to compare!
We know: there are a lot of options out there that can help you stay communicated while overseas, many of them are fully based on low prices, call quality being a distant second, others place more weight on reliability, and so forth. We stride to balance a low priced, high quality service. We know we are not the only option on the internet, but please keep this in mind when shopping online:
- We use postpaid service: not running out of minutes, not reloading, not wasting unused minutes like with prepaid.
- We never use callback services: quality of the service is in its infant stage, and is complicated to use.
- We use quality, large network providers: we use the top 1 or 2 network providers in each country.
- Our prices are EVERYTHING included: some companies tell you this, but then charge regular sales taxes...
- A well stablished business, with over 4 ears of existence, our own offices in 3 countries and a large number of employees (compare to web only/garage run/ kind of operations)
Below please find a detailed comparison between our services and the other alternatives out there, remember, there's not a unique option, nor a black and white solution, all alternatives have some pros and cons, you, the customer, must at the end choose the option that gives you the most peace of mind. If you have any questions about this comparison or our service in general, remember you can contact us at any time!
