How do I find my number?

Can I call USA or Australia with this SIM?
Unfortunately, this SIM doesn't come with calls/texts to USA or Australian numbers!
We'd highly recommend using data applications like FaceTime, Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, iMessages, Viber or Skype to make calls and texts instead. This'll use the 10GB of data you have allocated to you.
