Great compliments

Big compliments to Airport Telecom ! For my vacation to the Philippines, I received an Unlimited Sim card that really worked perfectly everywhere. The Philippines are very vast but I had coverage everywhere. A travel companion only had problems with a locally purchased Sim card so I was happy with my Sim from Airport Telecom ! I recommend this company to everyone for a carefree vacation. Anko

Top service

Top service. Purchased a sim card with 12 gb for 9 days in California. After some questions both via email and over the phone I made the choice to purchase it from Airport Telecom. Clear instructions and fast home delivery! I activated the card on advice at home, changed SIM cards on the plane and once we landed in Los Angeles we immediately had a stable connection to the network.
