FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

All SIM types are valid for 1 year after the last billable use - phone call, sent SMS or data use.

The SIM balance for all types of OneSimCard SIMs is valid for 10 months after the last recharge. Each recharge extends the balance for the next 10 months period. If you do not recharge within the 10-month period, any remaining balance will be forfeited.

 

NOTE: For Physical 3-in-1 DataMax & DataMax eSIM SIM cards, if the SIM card has no balance, the SIM will expire and be removed from the account after 7 days, unless there is a data package currently active on the SIM (not a future activation). If there is no balance on the SIM and the active data package expires, the SIM will expire 7 days following the expiration of the active data package. Additionally, if a data package is purchased, and set for future activation, the inactive data package will expire after 6 months from the date of purchase.

 

An expired SIM can be restored for a $10.00 restoration fee plus a recharge of at least $25.00.
