Simpatico’s 2nd Tip of Christmas is written in curly white font at the top of the image. The background is dark blue, and around the bottom edge are some iced gingerbread biscuits, in the shape of stars, bells and a gingerbread man. There is also a bundle of cinnamon sticks and a dusting of icing sugar. In the centre of the image is Santa sitting in a deckchair enjoying the sun. The Simpatico logo is in the bottom corner and is wearing a jolly red Christmas hat. Wishing you a very happy Christmas.

Tip 2 – Going to Lapland

If you are heading away for the festive period, or going abroad at any time, just check with your phone provider before you go that your mobile phone tariff covers the area you are going to.  You do not want to be like the Scottish MP who racked up £11,000 of data charges whilst he was away.  If your destination is not covered, you can usually pay a small daily charge to extend your tariff so that you get the same allowances as if you are in the UK.  We usually put spend caps in place as well in case you forget, and this will prevent huge charges occurring. Santa puts his phone on to flight mode before he sets off on the sleigh to avoid roaming charges – especially any maritime charges as he crosses the sea, as they can be very high.
