If voicemail is available it will be noted on the specific prepaid SIM card web page.

Some prepaid SIM cards have a security mechanism in place that requires the subscriber to enter in a PIN code every time to
unlock the GSM cell phone. It is required that the Pin code must be correctly entered into the phone within 3 times in a row.
So you have to memorize the code well.

An airtime voucher is a piece of paper often printed with its denominational value on one side and code that is covered and
must be scratched with a coin to be revealed. Once exposed the code is punched into the keypad of your international cell
phone crediting up your prepaid SIM card with the respective denomination of voucher that you purchased. Additional airtime
is purchased locally and usually available at or near face value. For example, a 25 Euro voucher will credit your SIM card 25
Euros. The remaining cost for the SIM card is a set-up fee which pays for service on this particular pre-paid account.

When you purchase the prepaid SIM card, you are buying the brain that inserts into your GSM cell phone and makes it work. As
a subscriber, there is always some credit included with new SIM cards, this credit is subject to the local GSM network
operator. but the amounts vary from country to country. AS for the China Mobile SIM card, you will get free airtime worth
about US $16.

deactivate the card so that nobody can use the remaining credit, though they won't be able to issue you a new card. You can
also safely lend your phone and SIM card to friends without worrying about incurring any out-of-pocket costs. If they need
more talk time, they can simply add some by purchasing a recharge card and using it with your SIM card.

NO! Remember, the SIM card is the "brains" of your phone and is rechargeable. Once you have a SIM card all you need to do is
add credit for more talk time. Make sure that you do not wait beyond the service life of your SIM card to add more call
credit.

store or somewhere.

the SIM cards you purchase from us. They can also be found in the introduction of prepaid SIM card Typically you either call

Generally, a prepaid sim card works as service subscriber to decide the phone number and the airtime credit. The starter
airtime credit is charged during the activation of prepaid sim card. The amount of starter airtime credit varies from card to
card. Not all amount in a sim card of 30$ is airtime. A recharge voucher does nothing with phone number and airtime credit.
It just adds more airtime to the prepaid sim card.

These options depend on the local service provider and the hardware (phone handset) being used. Almost all GSM providers
support SMS (Short Message Service or "text messaging"). And in countries where incoming calls are free, incoming SMS
messages tend to be free. A general rule of thumb is that SMS rates are usually about half the cost of an outgoing per-minute
rate, whether local or international.
