Which Global Sim?

[mella2007]

I have a France and Italy sim from last year, however I want to have one number for the entire trip this time.
I'll be in the UK, Malaysia, UAE, Italy, France, Greece

Any suggestions which ones offer the lowest call rates and data rates? I am struggling to find something and def do not want to get TravelSim or GoTalk as both look like a rip off

Define 'rip off'. If you take your AU SIM you're going to be paying $3-6 *per minute* to make calls back home, and well over $1/minute as a general rule for domestic calling. Add to the fact you'll also usually pay similar rates to receive calls, and the definition of 'rip off' becomes somewhat skewed.

I can't vouch for TravelSIM or GoTalk as they're the opposition (I work for a company that does these SIM cards; but I prefer not to plug them as it's a) against the rules and b) I make no cash from it ).

I have used travel sim for the last 2 years, around europe and asia. Find them very resonably priced for calls. The only places it does not save me money are Dilli and Honiara.

I'm leaving for Europe in just over 2 weeks, thinking about GoTalk.. not going to be doing that many calls I hope (holiday not work!) so mainly data usage.
