Give us your Activation Date ✈️

You will be prompted at checkout to select an Activation Date for your SIM.

Your Activation Date is the date that you will need your SIM to be connected for use.

Once activated, connection to the network can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours.

If you are unsure, you can choose an estimated date and reach out to us to change it 🗓

My phone is asking for a PIN

Find the PIN on your SIM and enter it into your phone! It's that simple - as long as you have the PIN with you 😊

How does activation work?

1. We will activate your SIM card on the date that you provide on the activation register portal- you will be able to do this once you receive your SIM, just follow the prompts on our packaging!
2. Land in your destination country
3. Turn on Data Roaming in your settings
4. Restart your device
5. You'll receive a text letting you know your credit has been applied.
6. After your SIM is connected, you'll receive another text letting you know that your SIM is activated and your 28 days will begin.

Easy peasy! 🙌

It's important to note; we activate your SIM card at 2pm AEST (4am GMT) on the day that you set as your activation date. Once we activate the SIM, the network will continually check to connect your SIM to the network. This connection can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. If your SIM has not connected in a few hours, please contact us via email at hello@simsdirect.com.au or hello@simify.com. We will be able to check whether your SIM is active.

I'm having issues making phone calls or text messages

This SIM comes with calls but no texts.

When you are in Europe including the UK, you will have unlimited minutes for local calls to standard landlines and mobiles within all the countries listed. So if you are in Spain you can call Spanish phone numbers. If you are in Italy you can call Italian phone numbers, and so on...

You can still receive phone calls or text messages through your Spanish phone number though.

I've just put my SIM in my phone and it says "No Service"

If you've inserted the SIM into your phone and you didn't get a 'Welcome' text message or it says 'No Service', it's possible that it hasn't been activated yet. Our system automatically activates these SIMs at 2pm Sydney time on the nominated date - simply message us to let us know that you need an earlier activation and we can help you out :)

You can also try to manually select a network through your settings.

iPhone:

Settings > Mobile > Network Selection > Disable Automatic > Wait for networks to pop up and select one

Android:

Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Network Operators > Search networks manually > Wait for networks to pop up and select one

If it doesn't connect, you might need to click on one a couple of times and then restart your phone.

Note: Settings may differ depending on your device - If these instructions don't match, explore your devices settings until your find "Network Selection" or something along those lines.

Which one do I choose?

Try any of them, and if it doesn't work, try another one!

It's still not working...

Try the SIM in another phone if you can, and see if it'll activate.

My SIM was working great but suddenly it says "No Service"

Sometimes the SIM can stop working. When this happens:

1. Turn on Airplane Mode for 1 minute
2. Turn off Airplane Mode - this should reboot the connection!

My device says "No SIM"

1. Take the SIM out and put it back into your device and restart
2. Try the SIM in another device
3. If it's saying No SIM in 2 different devices, then contact us!

I've tried everything and it's still not working
