How do I activate this sim card?

Accepted Answer

***Please note: As of 1st of November, the activation step for this sim card has changed. When you receive your Sim Pack/s in the mail, please follow the steps below to confirm your Activation date. Details will also be noted on the front of the Sim Pack. If you have any queries please contact us at support@simcorner.com ***

 

As soon as you receive you order, you must register your travel/activation date via the following link; https://simcorner.com/pages/registersim. The sim card will automatically activate based on the Activation Date that you provide. It is from this date that your 30 days of service will commence. It can take up to 24 hours for your activation date to be registered into the system, hence, we encourage that you complete this form as soon as possible.

Should you wish to change the activation date after you have purchased, please contact us at support@simcorner.com at least 3 days prior to the noted activation date. Whilst using the sim card you will need to have both MOBILE DATA and DATA ROAMING functions ENABLED/TURNED ON in your phone.

 

Going for longer than 30 Days?

This sim cannot be recharged, if you are travelling for longer than 30 days, we advise that you purchase additional sim cards based on the duration of your travel and place the activation date approximately 30 days apart for each sim and swap the sim over at the end of 30 days.

For example, if you are travelling for 56 days and are departing on the 1st of September, then you should select 2 for the quantity (qty) and add them to the cart. Then in the cart page enter the activation date for the first sim as 1st September and then press the "+" to enter the activation date for second sim as 30th September. Whilst on your travel, insert the first sim card to get connected and after 30 days all you need to do is swap the sims over to remain connected throughout your trip. (Please note: each sim card will have a different phone number).

Question 4

How do I make calls and send SMS?

Accepted Answer

Firstly please check that the number you are dialling is a Standard Landline or Mobile. Premium rate or Business rate numbers are NOT included in the 3000 Minutes and SMS.

You must always use the correct prefixes and international dialing conventions as noted below whenever making a call or sending an SMS to a local number.


	00 (Country Code) (Area Code) (Number) or + (Country Code) (Area Code) (Number) 
	If calling a Estonian number, you must use their country code which is 372 for example, in front of the number. 


eg:


	For Landlines: 00 - 372 - Area Code - Land Phone Number Or + 372 - Area Code - Land Phone Number and/or
	For Mobiles: 00 - 372 - 8 Digit Mobile Number (for calling and sms)

How do my family and friends call and message me?
