I needed something to keep me connected with my family during my 3 months exchange program in Paris. Since my father uses a lot of these international sim cards for work purposes, he got one for me from Matrix. I was reluctant and of the opinion of buying one when I got there. But I guess, it was a wiser decision of actually carrying one from India itself. For the three months, I enjoyed seamless services, since I preferred using a prepaid sim card, I was using Matrix’ Europe sim. Traveled to some places with that and everything was hassle free. I knew exactly how much and where all I was spending. My parents were comfortable with the idea of knowing my number even before I flew out.  It turned out to be a win win situation for us all.
