Note: I would like to thank the TSIM team for providing me with the USA International SIM card. However, this is a completely unbiased review of the product, based on my personal experience after using the SIM for a month.
If you are a frequent international traveler or someone who loves to explore the world. I am sure, Mobile connectivity is always a concern. Of course, most of the hotels these days offer free WIFI connectivity and you can also get connected at airports and many public places. But when it comes to being constantly available and connected. It’s surely a challenge.
Recently, I traveled to the USA for a month. Check out my latest blog on the best places to visit in New York.
Being a digital content creator, most of my work requires internet connectivity. Depending only on WIFI to stay connected was not feasible and I was looking for more. During my earlier trips, I used some popular international SIM cards or opted for international roaming, but I always faced some challenges or the other activating them or managing the expense.
This time, thanks to TSIM international card, I had a great trip with excellent connectivity. Sharing my experience and review of their USA International SIM card.

Loved the SIM Case and cardholder -TSIM International SIM Card

My Experience
- Customer service was good, they called in advance to check the model of my phone, to make sure that SIM works with my phone.
- You can reach the customer care over the mail and they reply promptly.
- I loved the packaging with which the product came. The cardholder was nice.
- Data speed was very good and at most of the places, I faced no issues. I could easily upload the pictures and videos too.
- There were no issues like buffering etc. while watching the videos.
- Places where the phone services dint work was Grand Canyon, drive from Grand Canyon to Page (Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend)
- For calls to India, I found the process of 2 stages calling a bit cumbersome as you need to type 2 numbers each time. However, the calls connected to both landlines and mobiles all the time.
- Overall the experience was satisfactory, and I don’t mind opting for their services again for my International travel.

I also received an option to choose from one of the 3 travel-related products as the gift with my purchase.
