When Will I Get My Number Anyway?

So you received your TelAway SIM card, but wait there are no numbers attached! Where are they?

3G or 4G is there a difference?

Lot's of companies claim to have fast 4G speeds, but is 4G faster than 3G or is it all a bluff?.

To begin with the "g" stands for generation. Meaning that 4G is a fourth generation phone while 3G is just a 3rd generation device. This does not mean that the phone can surf faster but that the phone is a newer generation model. The "g" signifies newer technology.

WiFi vs 3G

Why would you use your smartphone when you travel? Seriously you can get free Wi-Fi virtually anywhere, right?

Sure, Wi-Fi is easy to find in the USA. You can get it anywhere you shop, most places that you stay, and even by searching for open Wi-Fi networks in residential areas. Despite the fact that most of people know that Wi-Fi is not truly enough for all over use, people still plan for it when they travel.

When using Wi-Fi only, you are not available when people need you. There is a myriad of VOIP options when trying to call back home over Wi-Fi but none of them are anywhere close to good. The majority of them still have issues with calls cutting out, quality being unsatisfactory, and electronic sounds when speaking.

TelAway - In Depth

While the TelAway USA SIM Card has very little technical issues, questions arise whether it be before purchase or during use. So we would like to address these issues in a non _FAQ style post to help our customers understand our process better.

What is TelAway?

Getting around New York City

After arriving at JFK airport and checking into your hotel in Manhattan, you will discover quite quickly that transportation in the city is not the easiest. Sure there's the subway and the public buses but New York is most famous for it's taxis.
While stopping a taxi in the city is not normally an issue sometimes dealing with the American money or even having enough on you is problematic.

That is where Get Taxi comes in.

Customers Respond At&T

I just returned from my trip to the USA and truly enjoyed my TelAway experience. I had unlimited calling in the USA and back home (landlines and mobiles), unlimited internet, unlimited SMS, and to top it all off a local UK number! While TelAway's service was superb, what I enjoyed most was the local number. I was available throughout my trip for my friends and family back home in the UK!

Travelling to the USA was a dream, but I never had the time for a proper holiday. When I made the decision to travel my spirits soared. My employers were generous and allowed me a months leave so that I may finally see what The Americas were all about.
