现在出国旅游都是少则半月，多则几个月。会说一些必备的出国旅游常用英语口语是必要的，下面就主要介绍一下关于选购手机卡的旅游常用英语口语。

到了国外最重要的就是上网问题，国外上网的话有两个方案（主要讨论移动上网）：

第一就是在国内租赁移动WiFi，实际上是通过和国外通讯公司合作，利用他们的手机网络来上网；

第二就是到了当地，直接购买当地的手机卡（SIM卡），这样既可以上网，又可以打电话，比如咨询、预定行程等等，价格上一般也比移动WiFi便宜。

那么，我们在国外选购手机卡的时候会用到哪些旅游英语呢？首先学习一下相关的单词。

1.SIM card 手机卡（SIM=Subscriber Identity Module）micro SIM card

5.pack/package 套餐

旅游常用英语口语之选购手机卡对话：

Staff: Hello, how can I help you?

你好，有什么可以帮你的吗？

You: Well, I'd like to buy a SIM card.

那个，我想买个手机卡。

Staff: OK, and how long are you planning to stay here? I mean in this country.

好的，你计划在这待过久？我是指在我们国家。

You: 2 weeks.

两周。

Staff: OK. We have several prepaid packs that may suit you.

嗯，我们有几个预付费的套餐适合你。

You: Nice. Can you tell me more about them please?

不错，能给我详细介绍下吗？

Staff: Yes. Do you prefer a data combo or a talk combo?

好，你倾向于数据流量套餐还是通话套餐呢？

You: I'm not sure. What's the difference?

不太确定，这俩有啥区别？

Staff: Well, if you use the internet more often then you probably need a data combo because it offers you more data. While with the talk combo, you can make more phone calls back home.

如果你经常上网，那就选数据流量套餐，因为有很多流量可用。如果你想打电话回家，那么通话套餐就比较合适了。

You: I see. I definitely need a data combo. Do you have any detailed information? Like a brochure.

明白了，那我肯定需要流量套餐。有什么手册可以介绍详细信息的吗？

Staff: Yeah, here's one.

这有一份。

You: Hmmmm, the $40 data Combo seems good. And it offers infinite calls and text messages within this country, right?

嗯，40块的这个流量套餐看起来不错。国内通话和短信数是不限的吧？

对，不限，而且现在是半价哦。

You: This is really a good deal. I'll get this one. Oh,by the way, how is the reception in remote areas?

相当划算啊，那我就要这个了。另外，偏远地区的手机信号怎么样？

Staff: Well, it depends. Generally our company has the widest coverage and the signal should be quite satisfactory.

这个要看情况，一般来说我们公司的信号覆盖最广，应该可以保证你满意。

You: All right.

好的。

Staff: Another thing, do you have an Android or an iPhone?

还有个事，你用的安卓手机还是苹果手机？

You: It's an iPhone.

苹果的。
