OneSimCard FAQ

Starting April 19th, 2016, our OneSimCard international SIM card comes with two phone numbers: European (Estonia) and U.S. numbers. For Canada Customers it is European and Canadian numbers. For Australian customers it is European and Australia numbers and for UK customers it is Estonia and UK Mobile numbers.

The primary European number is based in Estonia (country code +372). Estonia is a member of the European Union and one of the most high-tech and entrepreneurial societies in the world, especially when it comes to telecommunications. The world-famous program Skype was invented by Estonian developers.

You can choose your area code for the free 30 day U.S. and Canada PENs. Australia and UK numbers are randomly assigned. You can choose to activate your free PENs when you activate your SIM card or at a later date. Once your free PEN has been activated, it will be active for 30 days unless renewed monthly or yearly for a small cost. If you would like to choose your own U.S. or Canada, Australia or UK area code or a Toll Free number, you can also order those numbers separately.

You can order an unlimited number of Personal Extra Numbers (PEN) in many countries including:

Have phone numbers in as many as 61 different countries on one SIM card! You can also set your Caller ID to display a Personal Extra Number instead of your primary European number.

You can view a complete list of available numbers  here 

PLEASE NOTE: There is an additional charge of 20c/min to receive calls on your U.S. number or other PEN (except for a UK-Mobile PEN which only adds 25c per call). All SMS text messages must be sent to your primary European number, except for USA, Canada and UK Mobile SMS Enabled PENs. Receiving SMS on USA or Canada SMS Enabled PENs costs $0.09 per SMS. Receiving SMS on UK Mobile SMS enabled PEN is free. UK Mobile SMS enabled PEN will not show the outgoing SMS caller ID when used with the Europe & More SIM or the Expedition SIM. It can only show the UK number on the caller ID when used with the Universal SIM.

Free US and Canada PENs issued before December 8th 2014 will not accept text message. They could be used only for voice calls.

Starting June 3rd 2015, OneSimCard offers new USA and Canada PENs capable of receiving SMS. These PENs can be ordered separately and carry a charge of 9 cent per received SMS.

Starting January 1st 2018, OneSimCard offers special new USA - SMS for Bank verifications PENs. These USA and Canada PENs are capable of receiving SMS from most US and Canada financial institutions -most banks, Paypal, credit cards etc, as well as some apps like Uber ( but not from Whatsap).  These numbers are also SIM VOIP capable and will work as a regular US PEN for incoming calls and SMS. SMS received on such PENs can be configured so the copy of the text is always forwarded to an email of your choice. This means that you can receive these Bank, Apps and Institutions SMS not only when you travel but any time by email too. Bank Verifications PENs are ordered separately. You can learn more about these special numbers here.

OneSimCard will work with almost any unlocked GSM tri-band or quad-band cell phone. A partial list of compatible cell phones that we have tested can be viewed here.

If you need to unlock the phone, we suggest contacting your carrier or phone manufacturer for unlocking information or services.

If your phone is not a quad-band phone, please make sure that the bands of your phone are those required in the country of your travel. You can look it up here.

If you are still unsure whether your cell phone is compatible, contact support or purchase an international cell phone and SIM card bundle from us, which all come preloaded with our international SIM card, $10 balance and All in One International Travel Adapter Plug.

Yes, you can easily forward calls from your regular cell phone number, home phone, office, etc. to your OneSimCard phone while you're abroad!

Your OneSimCard international SIM card comes with both a European and U.S. number. To forward your regular U.S. numbers to the SIM, just set them to forward to the U.S. number that's included with your SIM card.

You can also order unlimited Personal Extra Numbers (PEN) - Local or Toll Free - in many different countries, including USA, Canada, UK, France, Italy and Spain. For example, if you work or live in the UK and want to keep receiving calls made to your regular UK numbers, just add a UK PEN to your SIM card and set up call forwarding to that new number.

Calls received through a PEN will be charged an additional 20c/min to the incoming rate of the country you are in. The exception is calls received through a UK-Mobile PEN which is only charged an additional 25c per call.

Please Note: Your subscription to a Personal Extra Number starts the moment your order is shipped. If you do not need your PEN to be active right away, you can always wait and order a PEN later at any time by logging in to your account.

Different carriers use different ways of programming call forwarding. Below are instructions to setup call forwarding with various US wireless carriers. We urge you to test the call forwarding a few days prior to your trip, and to call your US wireless carrier for assistance if needed.

Alltel, Sprint PCS, Verizon Wireless, Nextel, Cricket Wireless

To activate Call Forwarding:

1. Press *72 on your cellular phone.
2. Enter your ten-digit Second Personal OneSimCard phone number (area code + telephone number).
3. Press OK/Send (a tone will confirm that Call Forwarding is active).

To deactivate Call Forwarding:

1. Enter *720 on your cellular phone.
2. Press OK/Send (a tone will confirm the deactivation).

T-Mobile and AT&T Wireless GSM phones

To activate Call Forwarding:

1. Press *21* on your cellular phone.
2. Enter your ten-digit Second Personal OneSimCard phone number (area code + telephone number) followed by the # key.

To deactivate Call Forwarding:

1. Enter #21# on your cellular phone.
2. Press OK/Send.

Please note that Sprint and Nextel may charge an extra 20c/min on forwarded calls.

To determine if your phone is locked, if you haven't already purchased a OneSimCard international SIM card then call your wireless provider. If you have already purchased from us then insert the OneSimCard SIM card. If you get any of the following messages on your screen after entering the pin then your phone is locked:

• Insert SIM
• SIM not valid
• SIM Card Not Accepted
• Enter Restriction Code
• Enter Special Code
• Enter Subsidy Code
• Enter Subsidy Password
• Contact Service Provider (Motorola)
• or any other similar messages!

Some mobile phone carriers lock their phones so they can't be used with other carriers. The simplest way to find out if the phone is locked is to borrow a SIM card from anybody who is using a different mobile service provider. If you power-up the phone and it recognizes the SIM card, your phone is unlocked and OneSimCard's international SIM card will work as well.

If you need to unlock the phone, we suggest contacting your carrier or phone manufacturer for unlocking information or services.

US Customers can read more about unlocking phones in this article of the Computer World magazine.

• Purchase a Travel Phone or Travel Phone Bundle from www.OneSimCard.com
  OneSimCard offers many travel phones and travel phone bundles which will allow you to use OneSimCard worldwide. Please go to: www.onesimcard.com/international-cell-phones/


• Purchase a MiFi Device from www.OneSimCard.com
  OneSimCard offers WiFi Hotspots (MiFi) which allow you high speed internet access over WiFi or mobile data.  MiFi can support multiple devices. When using OneSim VoIP calling is possible from any location offering a good WiFi connection. For additional information please go to: www.onesimcard.com/international-cell-phones/

All 4 OneSimCard SIMs work in a very similar manner.  They all use an Estonian Mobile Number as the primary number and offer a Free US or Canada PEN for 30 days. All OneSimCards also offer many  additional features such as Live Customer Support, SIM VOIP and Apps for iPhone and Android.

The main difference between the 4 SIM cards is that OneSimCard Universal and eSIM offers Voice and SMS Text Messaging in many more countries as well as lower data rates.  The OneSimCard Expedition (formerly Data & Roam) is recommended to be used in some countries where for it offers coverage while Universal SIM does not.  For some countries like Canada, Cuba, Brazil and a few others, the OneSimCard Expedition (formerly Data & Roam) offers lower calling rates. 

The OneSimCard Europe & More was specially created for European travelers and offers our best calling rates to the US & Canada from the 40 included countries. Both the Europe, eSIM and Universal SIM cards offer easy Direct Dialing in 40 (EM) and 75 countries respectively, while OneSimCard Expedition (formerly Data & Roam) utilizes callback. eSIM and Universal SIM offers callback dialing in those 130 countries which are not covered by the Direct Dialing. Callback dialing does not make it more complex for the caller, except for pressing the Talk button on the mobile phone twice instead of once when making a call.

OneSimCard Universal, Plus, OneSimCard Expedition (formerly Data & Roam) and OneSimCard Europe & More also operate on different networks in many countries.

You can compare rates for all these SIM cards here.

Yes, if you have a World Phone from Verizon or Sprint such as the BlackBerry (Bold, Curve, Tour, Pearl, Storm, 8830); LG (Fathom); LG KP Series, HTC (Touch, Ozone, Imagio); Samsung (Saga, Intrepid, Renown) you can use it with OneSimCard service. It may only require the special dialing instructions below to make outgoing calls (there is no additional charge). Receiving calls is the same as with any other phone.

To make an outgoing call you may need to do the following:

Initiate your call by sending a free SMS message from the regular SMS menu (not the OneSimCard Menu) of a OneSimCard enabled phone:

For example, to call to Boston USA you should go to the SMS menu of the phone and send a message:

Please Note:

1. You can not send this SMS from the SMS OneSimCard Menu of the phone, it must be sent using your phone's standard SMS function. You will not be charged for sending this SMS to 9146.

2. If you see on the screen that the message has not been sent, make sure that the SMS settings of your phone are correct and that the SMS Center number is set to: +3725099000

• To turn voicemail ON from your phone:
  dial 091 and press the TALK/SEND button
• To turn voicemail OFF from your phone:
  dial 090 and press the TALK/SEND button
• To check if you have any voicemail messages from your phone:
  dial 094 and press the TALK/SEND button

All OneSimCard international SIM cards work in Australia, Japan, South Korea, Myanmar, Singapore and other couuntries where 2G networks no longer available. These countries use 3G/WCDMA networks, so only phones with the specific 3G/WCDMA/HSDPA/UMTS 2100 frequency will work in these countries. Most modern smart phones have this option today including all iPhones. You should check your phone specification to make sure your phone has this 3G band,

OneSimCard offers cell phones with the necessary 3G band for Japan and South Korea that also work in every other country where we provide service:

Older Verizon & Sprint dual-mode CDMA/GSM "World Phones" such as BlackBerry (Bold, Curve, Tour, Pearl, Storm, 8830); LG (Fathom); HTC (Touch, Ozone, Imagio); Samsung (Saga, Intrepid, Renown), are compatible with OneSimCard, however require special dialing instructions shown here.

All iPhone modes and Androids GSM Phones are compatible with OneSimCard.

• To check your balance dial *146*099 and press the TALK (or SEND) button
• To add funds dial *146*098XXXX*ZZ and press the TALK (or SEND) button,
  where XXXX - 4 last digit of your credit card on file, ZZ - Recharge amount

• To listen to voice mail *146*095 and press the TALK (or SEND) button

OneSimCard international mobile service does not require dialing any access numbers when calling from international locations, you simply dial as you normally would when you're abroad. However, when somebody is calling to your OneSimCard phone there is an option for them to call you through a Toll Free or local number rather than dialing your European mobile number directly, which could be expensive for them. This call will instead be charged to your OneSimCard account at an additional 20c/min to the incoming rate in the country where you are receiving the call.

When someone calls you through a Common Access Number they receive a prompt where they then enter your primary European number starting with 372 to reach you. For a direct connection, we recommend adding a Personal Extra Number (PEN) instead.

At this time we have Toll Free and/or Local Common Access Numbers in the following countries:

• Argentina
• Australia
• Austria
• Argentina
• Brazil
• Canada
• Cyprus
• France
• Germany
• Greece
• Hong Kong
• Israel
• Mexico
• New Zealand
• Russia
• Spain
• UK
• USA - Toll Free as well as local Common Access Numbers in New York City, Washington DC and Los Angeles

You can find these numbers in the User Guide or while logged in to your OneSimCard web account portal.

Yes, you can send SMS messages by sending an email to 372XXXXXXXX@sms.onesimcard.com, where 372XXXXXXXX is the 11-digit OneSimCard mobile phone number you are trying to reach.

Please note that message should be sent in English characters only and no attachments to this email are allowed.

This option of sending SMS by email provides a completely free way of communicating, as it is usually free for you to send the email and costs nothing for the OneSimCard customer to receive it. The maximum number of daily received SMS sent by email or from the web per SIM is 25.

Starting June 3rd, 2014 OneSimCard offers new USA and Canada PENs capable of receiving SMS ( Text Messages) . These PENs carry a charge of 9 cent per received SMS. These PENs can receive only SMS sent from a mobile device and will not receive texts sent from web sites of Gmail, Yahoo, banks etc. If you need to receive alerts from the web site sent to your mobile phone, we suggest you to select the alert option by email and provide OneSimCard email of your phone 372XXXXXXXX@sms.onesimcard.com, which you will receive as an SMS.

Starting January 10th, 2019 OneSimCard offers new UK Mobile PENs capable of receiving SMS and sending SMS. Receiving text on UK Mobile SMS number is free.

Besides this, generally, OneSimCard can be used on any cruise ship when the ship is close enough to shore so the cell tower signal can be picked up by the phone. The ship should be within at least 1 mile from the coast for your cell phone to pick up a signal. Service will work only when the phone is close to a country where OneSimCard provides international roaming service. Rates are the same as if a call was made from the shore of the country you are near.

It's 100% free to forward your OneSimCard phone number to many countries including to U.S. or Canadian numbers. Forwarding to some countries, as well as to satellite phones, will carry a forwarding charge as listed in the Rates & Coverage page on OneSimCard.com.

To enable/disable call forwarding from your online account:

Newer SIM cards use *81* instead of *081*

Verizon and Sprint now offer dual mode - CDMA and GSM phones, which are capable of working on GSM networks. You can request Verizon and Sprint to unlock the GSM portion of the phone for international travel and they will most likely do this for you. However, Verizon and Sprint usually does not unlock phones 100% - they do this partially, so you are not able to use the phone while in USA.

In such Verizon and Sprint phones you can get invalid message when inserting OneSimCard SIM or your phone does not find US networks. Verizon and Sprint unlock their phones in such a way that you can't use it in USA, but once you are out of the country the SIM will be accepted. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell the difference with this kind of unlocking if the phone is not unlocked or partially unlocked to work only outside of USA. In our experience, once this kind of phone leaves USA, it starts working.

Direct Dial calling allows the caller to enter the international  call prefix, country calling code and telephone number and then be directly connected to the person they are calling. This is how you dial when using your regular mobile service. Direct Dial Calling is standard on the OneSimCard Europe & More, OneSimCard Universal and eSIM.

Callback calling also allows the caller to enter the international  call prefix, country calling code and telephone number. After the called number is entered, the user immediately receives an incoming call connecting the user to person called. Callback is very simple to use and allows for low cost calling on the OneSimCard Plus and OneSimCard Expedition (formerly Data & Roam). Callback does not increase the connection time. It is the same as with Direct Dial.

The SMS Verification PEN is the only PEN that can be used without a SIM card. Thus, it can have its own balance, which follows these rules:

1. If the SMS Verification PEN is used without a SIM card, the PEN's balance will be valid for 12 months. To maintain it the minimum recharge amount of only $10 USD per year is required.
2. If the PEN has a SIM card assigned to it, the SIM card balance rules will apply. To maintain the balance both for the SIM and all PENs assigned to it $25 USD min recharge will be required every 10 months.

With the exception of UK Mobile numbers, all PENs are not mobile numbers. These numbers are capable of receiving and forwarding calls and in some countries like US, CANADA and UK they are capable of receiving texts. When making outgoing calls using PENs, the Caller ID can be set to show either this PEN or the Main SIM card number. This option is available in the online account.
