With GPRS and 3G connectivity now available through GO-SIM in over 80 countries, our new ‘DataPack’ product will appeal to anyone wanting to use their laptop for quick and easy access to the web with cost effective rates that are clear and easy to understand. The ‘DataPack comprises a Nokia USB stick coupled with our International SIM card and pre-loaded with $10 (or £6.25) airtime.
