ZipTel to provide global data sim card

Subiaco-based ZipTel has announced the launch of its latest product which provides overseas travellers with mobile data usage, through partnerships it has made in over 180 countries.

ZipTel said its new AussieSim Data Sim Card was designed specifically for travellers overseas who only need data usage.

“These international network partnerships enable seamless connectivity for any mobile broadband device across over 400 mobile carriers at near local rates,” the company said in a statement.

“Unlike other products in the market it provides a prepaid service with no lock-in contracts and the rates are significantly cheaper than other Australian networks and international sim card providers.”

The new product will be available to consumers from 1 December.

Shares in ZipTel were 6.5 per cent lower at 43 cents per share at the close of trade.
