GetRoaming roaming around the world? good/bad

Jesper

Appologies for the free advertising below but I'm going on a round the world trip in October for up to a year. While looking up insurance on Getcover.ie I saw the below for roaming calls.

Has anyone any experience in it? other options?

"GetRoaming is the easy solution

Are you fed up paying a fortune to make and receive mobile phone calls while you are away on holidays/ travelling aboard on business?

All you need is an unlocked Mobile Phone and a GetRoaming.ie SIM card. Save a whopping 60 - 80% off your carrier's roaming rates and data costs, easily top up online, and take control of your call costs wherever you are.

Through our Telecoms supplier, we have access to over 700 carriers in over 213 countries around the world to ensure that you get the best value when you are roaming.
