DIGITAL CONNECTIVITY
Working in conjunction with our Digital Access Project, we provide free data-loaded SIM cards as well as data connectivity workshops in initial accommodation hotels.
Screen Share offers free internet data, calls and texts to clients via SIM cards through our partnerships with the Good Things Foundation and Vodafone.
There are 3 options a client can choose from:
O2 provides 20GB + Calls + Texts per month for 12 months. The client needs to top up with a voucher delivered via SMS every month.
Vodafone provides 40GB + Calls + Texts per month for 6 months. The client does not need to top up; it's automatic.
Three provides a single recharge of 24 GB of data. All the client needs to do is load the SIM in the device.
At the end of this period, the client needs to pay for credit themselves, or apply to us for another SIM card, which will be free but a different phone number.
We advise that clients using their SIM card to hotspot their laptop choose Vodafone or Three. For those who don't want to change their number in 6 months or are unlikely to be able to pay for their own data in 6 months' time, we recommend O2.
