There are times I question my needs in life.
Do I need food, sleep or internet connectivity more?

Ok, that was a joke.
Or maybe not.

But I digress.
The point is, being connected is one of our top priorities now. Whether it is for work or for social, we need to be contactable and preferably, perpetually.

As a frequent traveler both for business and work, I find myself at better peace being connected than disconnecting.
I like to know what is happening, especially so for work purposes.

Admittedly I rely on data more than calls but that’s because calls can get expensive when you’re overseas!
Now, if there is a service that provides call services at a lower rate, would you consider it?

Did I hear a “yes“?
Ah, I thought I would.

My latest discover is the Touchdown International SIM which offers all the benefits of staying connected yet with lowered cost.

Now let me break down on what this new Touchdown SIM offers:
Touchdown is a seamless callback service.
1. Get a Touchdown SIM card. (Get it online –> www.touchdown.com.my)
2. Replace your normal SIM card with your Touchdown card when you travel.
3. You will be allocated a new number to use.
4. Dial an international number from your phone as usual. Touchdown picks up your call, connects it to the number you dialed and calls you back, connecting the two ends of the line.
Example: Call your boss from your phone with the Touchdown SIM card.
Touchdown will detect your call, connects your call and route it back to you.

** This routing step ensures that the call travels exclusively through Touchdown partner networks, generating the up to 85% savings AND ensures superior sound quality to boot, no matter where you are.

Each Touchdown SIM comes with a user guide so do not fret as it is straightforward to use!

The Touchdown SIM provides data as well.
Choose from Touchdown Classic or Touchdown NEW. The differences between both are as below:

Essentially, Touchdown solves both data and voice communications issues when you are out of your home country.
Travelers could use roaming facilities provided by their providers at home but that could prove to be costly due to high rates.
We have all heard of “that friend” who got slapped with a high bill after they got home from their travels because they somehow activated data roaming/called someone/took a call while abroad and ended up with a heart attack 4 – 5 digits bill.

Yes, you could buy local SIMs cards which will be cheap for domestic calls but you are still subjected to local operator tariffs when making international calls.
So this where Touchdown comes in; to take away all that concerns of connectivity while you are on the go.

Here are Touchdown features and benefits in a glance:

Once purchased, it is valid for 356 days so that’s a whole year of travel covered. With no expiry (within a year), you can just top up as you need.

So does Touchdown SIM sounds like it is an essential item for your travels?
Well, getting one is easy.
Just surf over to www.touchdown.com.my!

Now, I’ve got 2 (TWO) Touchdown SIM cards to giveaway to 2 (TWO) readers/friends of my site!
All you have do is to tell me your dream holiday (an international destination) and what have you planned to do there!

    the price for the data is not too terrible considering maxis currently still charges RM38 per day for just 50MB in some countries! 😀

    1. Rebecca Saw

      Actually yes, now that I come to think about it. There are some countries not on the daily unlimited roaming packages!

    Hi Rebecca!

    My dream holiday destination is Hokkaido, Japan. The ultimate reason I would love to be there is for the fresh seafood! Then I would like to go skiing and just enjoy the scenery over there.

  4. Lance

    But first, BHUTAN! It is so exotic, so untouched and this year is Visit Bhutan year so we are aiming for a good package to get there.

    Me and my mum would like to go to Greece! Greece – crystal clear waters of the sandy beaches of Greece, where the idea of summer was originally invented and to admire the magnificent Greek monuments, the ancient ruins of the Acropolis, the archaeological site of Delphi and the famous theater of Epidaurus! And of course – the FOOD!

    Haii Rebecca!
    I’ve been dreaming travel to Istanbul,Turkey with my friends for our semester break. Of course, I would really love to capture every moment at there. Besides that, I would like to try their’s food. I heard that the food is so flavourful and most meals are served with free appetizers of salad, soup, bread and usually a tea at the end. Not to forget…. spending a day in one of Turkey’s bazaars. hehe

  8. Jacky

    I dream of Italy. Of Italian suits and fresh pasta and pizzas!

  9. Xee Ning

    Tehran. because Air Asia is offering flights to Tehran and I got myself and my mom return tics for RM600++/person!
