I can now ditch my sack of SIM cards that I carry around… I am already using two of their products Sim4Travel and Truphone whilst I am attending the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona…

It’s similar to MaxRoam and AwayPhone who have SIMs available now.

How does the one SIM solution work? Does that mean that I have to choose a carrier that is a partner of Truephone?
