First things first... Activation
Give us your Activation Date ✈️
You will be prompted at checkout to select the Activation Date for your SIM.
Your Activation Date is the date that you will need your SIM to be connected for use.
We recommend choosing the date that you land - keeping in mind that we activate on the date you selected at 2 pm AEST (4 am GMT). Your SIM will not work unless you have given us your activation date.
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 🗓
How does activation work?
- We will activate your SIM card on the date that you provide during checkout.
- Once you arrive at your destination country, insert the SIM into your device.
- Turn on Data Roaming in your settings
- Restart your device
Easy peasy! 🙌
My data isn't working
If you've just activated your SIM
If you've just activated your SIM and you've got a signal, you might need to check a couple of things to get your data working.
- Check that you have Data Roaming & Mobile Data turned on in your Settings.
- Make sure that you have changed your APN settings to match the following:
Name: NXTGENPHONE
APN: NXTGENPHONE
User name: Not set
Password: Not set - Restart your phone
- If it's still not working, try the SIM in another phone to see if it'll work there.
If you've been using your SIM but suddenly your data has stopped working
- Check that you have data balance left by dialling *777#
- Try turning your device off and on
- Try to remove the SIM from your device and re-insert it
- Check the coverage in the area you're in, remember to click AT&T Prepaid at the top
- If your phone says it's connected to LTE or 4G but the data isn't working, try to manually turn off LTE/4G to connect to 4G/3G.
Apple:
Settings > Mobile > Mobile data options > Disable LTE > Restart
Android:
Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Network Mode > Switch to 3G/2G > Restart
