Whilst data has been available for sometime on regular SIM cards, it’s relatively new to global, or international SIM cards. No more, thanks to GeoSIM and their GeoSIM Global SIM Card, which is now data enabled! This means that you’ll keep your mobile internet even while you’re travelling, without needing to find a WiFi-enabled place.
The problem, however, is that you won’t have 3G everywhere. Still, GeoSIM says that it is available in around 90 countries, while elsewhere you’ll have to settle for GPRS or EDGE. Still, when you need to check out your email quickly, even GPRS can do the job.
Commenting on the announcement, Ed Neal of Geodesa Limited, which distributes GeoSIM said: “Up until today, GeoSIM could only be used for voice and SMS. Now customers can benefit from the convenience of having GPRS Data, email, SMS and voice all on one global SIM and with the benefit of the large savings GeoSIM offers when using mobiles abroad.”

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
