Your USA T-Mobile Travel SIM card will be activated by us between 8AM - 11AM Los Angeles time (PST) on the "SIM Activation Date" you provide us. The activation date should be the same as your arrival date shown in your travel itinerary or 1 day earlier if you're arriving before 8AM Los Angeles time.
When you arrive at your destination, insert the SIM into your handset (switch on roaming if you're in Canada or Mexico). Once your handset picks up cellular reception, you will receive a welcoming activation message.
If your travel dates change or cancel, you need to notify us prior to the scheduled activation.
The USA mobile number for your USA SIM card is only assigned after the SIM has been activated. You can then find your USA mobile number by dialling *686#. You can also find your USA mobile number within your handset's settings (under "my phone" or "my number").
If you would like to obtain your USA mobile number in advance of your travels, you have to specify an earlier activation date. Please note that the validity period begins from the date your USA mobile number is assigned.
The USA T-Mobile SIM card cannot be recharged. We recommend purchasing multiple SIMs with staggered activation dates for extended coverage.
For a USA SIM that can be recharged, see our 30 Day USA SIM Card.
Data speeds may temporarily reduce during periods of network congestion in the location you're in. If you have used over 50GB of data in USA, T-Mobile may de-prioritise your data speeds when the network is under strain. T-Mobile does this to ensure all users can still stay connected if the network gets too busy.
With your USA T-Mobile SIM card: you can make calls and send texts in and between any of the covered countries (as long as the number you're calling is a local number).
To call Canada ensure to use the +1 dial out code. And to call Mexico, ensure to use +52. No dial out code is required to make a local USA call.
Note: If the incorrect dial out codes are used, you will receive a nil balance/top up message - This is because the network does not recognise the location of the number you're dialling. It does not mean that you've run out of credit.
Calls and SMS to Australia
International calls to Australia are not included as a feature of this SIM. To make calls to Australia, we recommend using VoIP apps such as Viber, WhatsApp, Facebook Chat, Wechat, Skype etc.
To send SMS to Australia you must ensure to use the +61 dial out code followed by the Australian mobile number without the 0. Eg +61 430 XXX XXX.
Receiving calls & SMS from Australia
Your friends and family can call and text your assigned USA mobile number by dialling +1 XXX XXX XXX. However we always recommend using VoIP apps such as Viber, WhatsApp, Facebook Chat, Wechat, Skype etc where possible.
