WorldSIM, a leading mobile virtual network operator, has launched its international roaming SIM, WorldSIM, in India. It appointed Hash10 Telecom Pvt. Ltd. as its exclusive master distributor for India.

Addressing presspersons here on Wednesday, M. S. Abu Thahir, CMD and K. Vaidhyanathan, CEO, Hash10 Telecom, said the card would enable customers get free incoming in 80 countries and could make outgoing calls from over 200 countries at competitive rates.

Mr. Vaidhyanathan said Hash10 was launching this card as pre-paid and the all outbound travellers could top-up through vouchers and online through the web portal. The card, priced at Rs.2,750 (including Rs.500 talktime) would be available with both a U.K. and U.S. mobile number on the same SIM. In future, multiple local numbers would be added to the SIM, he said. Mr. Vaidhyanathan said India was the fastest growing outbound travel market. More than 45,000 people were travelling abroad daily and growth of outbound travel was increasing by 20 per cent annually.

He said, the card, as per the government guidelines, would not work in India and the same would work when they go out of India.
