LONDON, February 6, 2017

Truphone, the world’s first global mobile network, today announced it is launching international data plans for iPad users with Apple SIM, beginning in Spain. iPad customers in Spain can select Truphone data plans on Apple SIM starting at an attractive €8 for 500MB for 1 month and use that same plan in 40 countries eliminating the need to buy a local SIM or more data when traveling. Truphone plans to roll out this service to iPad customers with Apple SIM across Europe and beyond in the coming weeks.

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro features an embedded Apple SIM making it even more convenient for customers to connect to and manage Truphone’s international data plans directly on their iPad. Apple SIM is also available at select Apple Stores for individual purchase and is compatible with the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 4.

Truphone is the first carrier to offer an international data bundle in Spain for iPad with great value domestic rates. There is no contract and customers can select these plans with one tap directly on their iPad whenever they need data. As an introductory offer, Truphone is giving customers 100MB of data for free. Just to go Settings > Mobile Data > Set up Mobile Data and Choose Truphone.

Ralph Steffens Chief Executive Officer at Truphone commented, “We are delighted to launch this new service on iPad with Apple SIM. iPad users can now connect to an attractive data plan right on their iPad and use the same data in 40 countries worldwide, at no extra cost.”
