If you purchased your GSM cell phone from a carrier it may be SIM-locked which means only SIM cards from that specific carrier can be used in your phone.
When you purchase our SIM card you will also have the option to purchase a Siemens Tri-Band World Phone for only $99, a special promotional rate only available to customers who purchase this SIM card. If you are unsure if your current phone will work with this SIM card, please either call us at 1-800-872-7626 (or from overseas at 1-703-620-0879) or consider purchasing the Siemens Tri-Band World Phone to use with our SIM card. | | | | Rates | | | | Country | Incoming Calls | Outgoing Calls | Outgoing Text Messages | | Afghanistan | $2.39 | $2.39 | $0.79 | | Algeria | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | American Samoa | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Andorra | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Anguilla | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Antigua & Barbuda | $2.39 | $2.39 | $0.79 | | Argentina | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Aruba | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Australia | $0.29 | $0.29 | $0.69 | | Austria | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Azerbaijan | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Bahamas | $2.39 | $2.39 | $0.79 | | Bahrain | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Barbados | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Belgium | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Bermuda | $3.49 | $3.49 | $0.99 | | Bosnia Herzegovina | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Brazil | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | British Virgin Islands | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Bulgaria | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Canada | $2.39 | $2.39 | $0.79 | | Cayman Islands | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Chile | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | China | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Colombia | $3.49 | $3.49 | $0.99 | | Croatia | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Cuba | $3.49 | $3.49 | $0.99 | | Cyprus (South) | $0.29 | $0.29 | $0.69 | | Czech Republic | $0.29 | $0.29 | $0.69 | | Denmark | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Dominica | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Egypt | $0.29 | $0.29 | $0.69 | | El Salvador | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Estonia | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Faeroe Island | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Finland | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | France | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Germany | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Gibraltar | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Greece | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Grenada | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Guyana | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Haiti | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Hong Kong | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Hungary | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Iceland | $2.39 | $2.39 | $0.79 | | India | $3.49 | $3.49 | $0.99 | | Indonesia | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Iraq | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Ireland | $0.29 | $0.29 | $0.69 | | Israel | $0.29 | $0.29 | $0.69 | | Italy | $0.29 | $0.29 | $0.69 | | Jamaica | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Japan | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Kazakhstan | $2.39 | $2.39 | $0.79 | | Kenya | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Kuwait | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Latvia | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Lebanon | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Liechtenstein | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Lithuania | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Luxembourg | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Macau | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Malaysia | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Malta | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Mauritius | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Mexico | $2.39 | $2.39 | $0.79 | | Montenegro | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Montserrat | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Morocco | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Mozambique | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Namibia | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Netherlands | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Netherlands Antilles | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Nigeria | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Norway | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Oman | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Pakistan | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Panama | $3.49 | $3.49 | $0.99 | | Peru | $2.39 | $2.39 | $0.79 | | Philippines | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Poland | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Portugal | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Puerto Rico | $2.39 | $2.39 | $0.79 | | Qatar | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Romania | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Russia | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Saudi Arabia | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Serbia | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Seychelles | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Singapore | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Slovakia | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Slovenia | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | South Africa | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Spain | $0.29 | $0.29 | $0.69 | | Sri Lanka | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | St Kitts & Nevis | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | St Lucia | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | St Vincent & The Grenadines | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Sweden | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Switzerland | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Taiwan | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Tanzania | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Thailand | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Trinidad & Tobago | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Tunisia | $0.59 | $0.79 | $0.69 | | Turkey | $0.29 | $0.29 | $0.69 | | Turks & Caicos | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | Ukraine | $1.39 | $1.39 | $0.69 | | United Arab Emirates | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | United Kingdom | $0.29 | $0.29 | $0.69 | | United States | $2.39 | $2.39 | $0.79 | | Us Virgin Islands | $2.39 | $2.39 | $0.79 | | Zambia* | $0.39 | $0.39 | $0.69 | | Select Cruise Ships | $2.39 | $2.39 | $0.79 |

| | | | Service Life | | | | | Your airtime can be used for 9 months from your last recharge or initial activation. If airtime credit is not added during the 12th month, the SIM card will be de-activated and the phone number will be recycled. To avoid this, and have the SIM card ready for your next trip, simply purchase a small reload or pass the SIM card on to a friend. | | | | International Capability | | | | | Your Passport Plus SIM card can roam on multiple networks within a single country.
For example, in England there are 5 networks and in Italy there are 4. With your Passport Plus SIM card, you can actually switch between these networks to get the best/strongest network and your airtime rate always remains the same. This is a GSM attribute and it is a very powerful feature of global roaming SIM cards for international travel.
So if you're getting a weak signal or having trouble completing an outgoing call, simply switch networks. This will require you to know how to use the Network feature of your cell phone, so consult your cell phone's operating manual and find out where and how to change networks with your prepaid SIM card. | | | | Operating Instructions | | | | | Making calls using your SIM card To make a call, simply dial the country code, the phone number and then press the "Send" or "Yes" key.
Instead of putting the phone to your ear immediately, wait about two seconds and the phone will ring back, alerting you to answer the phone. Press the "Send" or "Yes" key and you will hear your call go through.
Please Note: When calling from the US to your SIM card's international number, callers will have to dial "011" followed by your number. We also offer a US based number. For more information,
