Yes, GeoSIM works in 99.9% of GSM handsets. If you do not have an unlocked handset, we can supply one. Details HERE
GeoSIM uses the existing GSM networks, such as Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile, O2, ATT, Telefonica, SFR, MTN, Digicell and many other GSM networks around the world. It will automatically select the strongest signal and lock on to it. You may find that as you move around, the network to which GeoSIM uses changes. Regardless of which network you are on in a particular country, the charges will be the same. This means you actually have a better service than the locals!
GeoSIM will operate on the following networks:
Note: In some countries you will require a Tri-band mobile phone.
Your call credit will last at least 12 months from the time of purchase. See below regarding annual renewal fee.
Yes. A nominal annual fee of £11.91 + VAT is charged. This fee is charged to us by the telecom network service provider and unfortunately is one that we must pass on. It is not a charge levied by ourselves.
Unlike many Global SIM companies, we do not take unused call credit away from you if it is not used within a short period of time - some companies will take unused call credit from you after just 45 days.
One "Leading Brand" charges a daily usage charge of 39p and "Credit Holding Charge of £2 per month". This means that if you use your SIM, you are charged 39p per day (£142.35 per year!) and if you don't use it. £24 per year.
In line with our Clear Pricing Policy we do not hide this fee in higher call and call connection charges, or charge for non connected calls.
Our advice is to keep your SIM active by paying the £11.91 annual fee - it's very cost effective and means you won't lose any call credit.
Before the annual anniversary of your card, you will be contacted to see if you want to keep your GeoSIM active and keep your call credit. If you do, we will charge a £11.91 + VAT service access charge. This will keep your GeoSIM active and your call credit will roll over to the next year. If you decide not to keep your GeoSIM active your service will be permanently suspended by the carrier and any call credit cancelled.
You will be contacted by about 6 weeks, 3 weeks, 1 week and on the due date, email reminding you to renew. The email will contain a link to the relevant page on our website so you can pay by by credit card or PayPal.
You can add call credit 24/7 via this website at our top up page or using Text2TopUp, a system which allows a top up request to be made by sending an SMS to our system.
