Can I get my phone number earlier?

When a sim is activated we are able to retrieve the phone number from the system. As an option, if you are travelling for less than 30 days you can look at providing an earlier arrival date when purchasing the sim card, bearing in mind that your 30 days of service will still begin from that date. You can then e-mail us on the activation date you provided requesting your phone number which we can then forward to you.

Should you wish to change this date after your purchase, please contact us at least 3 days prior to your noted arrival date, so we can change the commencement date of your 30 day service.

To check your data balance you have used, you simply need to dial #932#. A prompt will show how much data you have used so far.

If you receive any prompt/text messages noting that you have zero credit balance then you can ignore as it does not relate to your data balance.

Coverage: USA, Hawaii

When the T-Mobile coverage map states that the coverage is by a partner network in the USA, this means that you will only be able to make local calls and send local text. You will not be able to use your data and international calling in these areas. For example, T-Mobile only has a partner network when in Alaska, so you will only be limited to local calls and text within USA.

You simply need to have MOBILE DATA functions ENABLED/TURNED ON in your phone to use the service. The sim card will be active from the activation date you have provided. It is on this date that your 30 days of service will automatically commence.

The mobile data APN settings should automatically update when you insert the sim card in you phone. If it does not, you need to update the settings so it states the following;

Details about APN settings and other important information will be noted on the instruction sheet that will come accompanied with the sim card.

The sim card will connect to the T-Mobile network in USA (including  Hawaii).

The features on the sim card are valid for 30 days of service from activation. 

The plan will last 30 days from the activation date provided. If you are staying longer than 30 days and wish to recharge the sim you can do this by either going into an T-mobile store in the USA or calling T-Mobile customer service on 611 from your mobile handset. The recharge cost will be in USD and may/will vary from the cost you paid with us for the first month. They will also charge taxes based on the area you are in. If you don't need the same plan for the following month or only need a few more days of service, then just let T-Mobile know and they will provide you some prepaid plan options to change to.

Alternatively, you can look to purchase multiple sims to cover your duration if travelling for more than 30 days. For example, if you are travelling for 56 days and are departing on the 1st of September, then you should select '2' for the quantity (qty) and add them to the cart. Then in the cart page enter the activation date for the first sim as 1st September and then press the "+" to enter the activation date for second sim as 30th September (you can select whatever activation date you like or even have them overlap, just keep in mind that your 30 days will begin from that date). You can then use the two sims for 30 days from the dates you have provided.  (Please note: each sim card will have a different phone number).

As long as you are aware your 30 days will begin from the activation date you provide for each sim, it's up to you what date you provide ensuring it covers you for your duration. It's fine to have services overlap.

This USA sim card plan will last 30 Days from activation. If you are staying longer than 30 days and wish to recharge the sim you can do this by either going into a T-Mobile store or calling T-Mobile customer service 611 from your mobile handset.

Once you have exceeded your data limit, your data service will be restricted to 2G speeds and you will be unable to add data to your sim for the remainder of the 30 days. If you think that you are going to require more than 10GB Data we advise that you purchase our Unlimited Data USA sim card for USA.

Alternatively, as another option if you are travelling for longer than 30 days, you can purchase an additional USA Travel Sim Card based on the duration of your travels. If you are travelling for 60 days you can purchase a second USA Travel Sim Card and then swap them over at the end of each 30 day period (however, each sim will have a different phone number). You will need to put the arrival date for the second USA sim card approximately 30 days after the original activation date. For example, if you are travelling from 1 March to 30 April, you will purchase 2 sim cards and have the arrival date for the first sim card noted as 1 March and the arrival date for the second sim card noted as 1 April.

When buying 2 or more of the same SIM, you can checkout with the code: MULTISIM5 for 5% off your order!
