Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase! You made a wise decision that will save you time, money, and
energy on your next trip. This instructions contains step-by-step instructions, tips, and money
saving tricks. Please review the documentation to get the most out of your SIM Card.
Lets get started!

Requirements for Service
In order to use this SIM you need an unlocked phone.
How do you know if you have an unlocked phone?
Insert the SIM card into your phone. If your phone indicates a provider (eg Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile)
then your phone is unlocked. If your phone displays a different message, your phone is locked.

In addition, your phone needs to support the correct frequency in order to call and / or use the internet.

Worldwide providers use of several GSM networks (850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz). The GSM1800
network is widely used in Europe, the GSM850 network often in South America and Asia and the
GSM1900 network especially in North America. To use your GSM anywhere in the world you will need a
quad-band phone.

For "faster" 3G, Internet Providers use the UMTS network (850/900/1700-AWS 1900/2100 Mhz.)
To access a list of all 3G frequencies by country please visit: www.en.wikipedia.org / wiki /

4G Internet. 4G stands for 4th generation and is the fourth generation of mobile telecommunications
standards. It is the successor to the 3G standard. 4G is still limited globally available.

Note: "Unlocked" means that your phone supports SIM cards from provider that are allowed. Often a
provider locks a cellular phone

Unlocking your Phone
Unlocking your phone is an easy process, it simply involves dialing a code on your phone’s keypad.
Most mobile phone operators will give you the unlock code and step-by-step instructions right over the
phone. Call customer service and inform them you’ll be traveling out of the country and you need the
„unlock code“.
