Do I need to have Data Roaming turned on for eSIM to work?
Yes. Data Roaming should be enabled on your phone for eSIM for data to work. Calls and texts on eSIM World should work with or without it.
When making an outgoing call how do I select which way the call should go: through regular roaming or through OneSim VoIP?
To make an outgoing call using OneSim VoIP, you need to be registered on a Wi-Fi network and have the OneSim VoIP app running on your phone. You should make the call using the OneSim VoIP app dial pad. To make a call the regular roaming way,you should make a call from your regular phone dial pad.Â
NOTE: Regular roaming calling is NOT available on DataMax or DataMax eSIM cards. To use voice you will need to use the OneSim VoIP app
Does voicemail work with OneSim VoIP?
Yes. If you are not available to answer the OneSim VoIP call or if the OneSim VoIP app is turned off, the call will be routed through our standard roaming network. If the call is not answered it will be sent to your OneSimCard voicemail box.Â
NOTE: Voicemail is not available for DataMax or DataMax eSIM cards with OneSim VoIP.
Can I use Facetime, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage, and other messaging Apps with eSIM?
For DataMax eSIM, you can use these Apps as you already do. Please ensure your messaging account is already setup with your primary carrier’s phone number because you cannot sign up for these services with the DataMax eSIM number.
Additionally, the eSIM data service can be used for the actual data part of your communications. So, when you are installing eSIM on phone, you can select the Primary service for Facetime and iMessage and then if your selected eSIM to be your primary data service, the communications will go over eSIM mobile data.

I just activated my SIM card and can't make a successful test call. What's wrong?
If you just activated your SIM card and can not make a test call by following the instructions in the user manual, you will likely just need to power off the phone and power it back on again. The phone should automatically re-register with one of our partner networks. Remember, if you answer the test call when it rings you will be charged for the call.When I dial following your instructions it does not work. What's wrong?
This answer applies to SIM cards purchased before January 1, 2017.
Some phones, such as Samsung, some Motorola, Android and Apple iPhones, require special dialing instructions or simple OneSimCard settings menu changes in order to make calls.
It is possible to make almost any phone entirely compatible, so you can call directly without using the OneSimCard menu or *146* by following these simple programming instructions below.
How to activate compatibility mode:
 1. Locate OneSimCard Menu.
 On iPhones it is called SIM Applications menu and is located under Settings- Phone menu
     On Androids it is called SIM Toolkit app or OneSimCard app and it looks like one of the apps.
 Â
Bear in mind that if you have powered your telephone down, and have removed and reinstalled the battery, you will need to follow the programming steps outlined above, again.
If for any reason after entering compatibility code, you still do not get a ringback or you get the ringback the first time you make a call, but second time it would not work, please enter code 802 into the Service Code window instead of 1101 as provided above.
Â
iPhone users can download OneSimCard Assist App from iTunes that will takes care of the iphones compatibility issues, except for removing the ringback.
For example, calling to USA:Â Dial *146*0016175551212# and press the TALK (or SEND) button
The sequence *146* and # at the end can be used from any phone. However, most phones do not require it.
We strongly recommend you to watch very short video tutorials that will help you to understand how to make calls, SMS and data on your OneSimCard Phone.

What Is the Difference Between "Direct Dial" and "Callback Dial" calling?
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.
