Welcome to Gap Year Mobile. We know that most students don't want to take their expensive mobile phones abroad, especially if it means paying extortionate roaming charges while they're out of the country.
We've also found that there's a common misconception that any old mobile phone will work as long as you use a local sim card. That's why we created this simple service to help you keep in touch.
So, you're in the right place if any of the following are true:
We've bulit a comprehensive database of all the GSM mobile frequencies used around the world, and the capabilities of three of the best global SIM card providers. As a result, we can offer you a personalised mobile phone package that will keep you in contact with your friends and your folks throughout your adventures.
At present we sell only the unlocked phones, however in the next couple of weeks, we will begin to provide a range of global SIM cards too.
When you return from your travels, if you're finished with the phone, you can even recycle it with us for cash.
