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.

Coverage: USA, Hawaii, Optional add-on (Canada, Mexico).

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 with your USA Travel Sim Card. 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.

This is only for coverage in the USA and does not apply to partner networks in Canada and Mexico.

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.
