Dopplr And MAXroam Are Now Travel Buddies

Cubic Telecom , the TechCrunch40 company behind the traveler-friendly SIM card MAXroam , has partnered with Dopplr to sell the card through its online store. The Dopplr-branded SIM card will be available for a reduced rate of €45 (down five euro from its normal price). Both companies have a strong travel focus: Cubic Telecom's MAXroam allows users to use their unlocked cell phones in over 180 countries, saving around 60-80% on roaming charges. Dopplr offers a social network for travelers looking to meet up with their friends. The site will use your travel schedule to determine when you'll be in the same area as a friend, and then help you set up a get-together.
