A different number everywhere you go.
You pay for incoming international calls.
Expensive calls out of area
Potentially unkown data costs
Five rebuttals:
- If you arrive at 0-gawd-awful and need to use a data SIM, you're either in the wrong job or you should be prepared to swallow the data roaming charges
- It's a data-roaming SIM, who cares what the number is?
- Ditto incoming international calls
- Ditto expensive calls out of area
- You've bought the SIM, you should know the data costs, especially since it'll be cash-based against a PAYG SIM.
