Europe & UK 37GB Data-Only| 28 day | Vodafone ES
First things first...
We recommend taking a photo of it or write it down!
Make sure you're in one of the 40 countries in which the SIM works, ensure you have Data Roaming turned on, and restart your phone. 🌎
You will be able to nominate a date once you receive your SIM, just follow the prompts on our packaging!
In order to have a smooth activation process, please make you give us the correct activation date. Once activated, connection to the network can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours.
How does activation work?
- We will activate your SIM card on the date that you provide.
- Once you arrive at your destination country, insert the SIM into your device.
- Turn on Data Roaming in your settings
- Restart your device
- You'll receive a text letting you know your credit has been applied 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 during checkout. 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 no calls and texts.
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 device's 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:
- Turn on Airplane Mode for 1 minute
- Turn off Airplane Mode - this should reboot the connection!
My device says "No SIM"
- Take the SIM out and put it back into your device and restart
- Try the SIM in another device
- If it's saying No SIM in 2 different devices, then contact us!
I've tried everything and it's still not working
