Hice un viaje a Dubai, Qatar, Bahrein, Abu Dhabi. funciono en todos los lugares. Quede muy satisfecha.

Used for 2 month trip in Europe. Worked perfectly in Hungary, Austria, Germany, Slovenia, Croatia. Just placed in my mobile wifi, immediately started working, and ran 2 cell phones plus tablet off it. Would buy again

Al final no he podido utilizarla porque debido a un accidente, he anulado el viaje previsto, la he pasado a un amigo y le ha funcionado sin problemas en Canadá.

This review is for the 12GB physical SIM card used in an older unlocked, dual SIM, 4G-only phone. The reviews for this card are all over the place, but I took a chance and bought one for a trip to Germany. Surprise, it worked right out of the package with nothing else required on my part. Another big surprise was that I discovered my phone is actually capable of Wi-Fi calling because the option magically appeared in my SIM management menus. I later learned that my phone is "only partially compatible" with my current provider in the US and doesn't allow for Wi-Fi calling. Go figure; took me 4 years to figure that out. 12GB is actually a lot of mobile data; I doubt I even used half of that in two weeks. Speeds were fine when the signal was good. The quirks and annoyances referenced in the title are the following: I was suprised to see the signal connecting to all 3 of the big carriers in Germany (Telekom, Vodaphone, O2) and it jumped around constantly to I guess whichever tower had the strongest signal. You will get a lot of calls from France; some to remind you to register the card (not needed if less than 14 days) and others just garbage from a recycled phone number. You have to dial correctly since you are roaming with a French phone number; basically dialing international long distance wherever you're calling. Also, no MMS is allowed. I know everyone uses apps, but I'm a geezer and like attaching a photo to a short message. For me at least, then, the card worked out great and saved me a ridiculous amount in roaming fees.

Compré esta SIM el año pasado durante una estancia en Portugal, haciendo escala antes en España. Desde el momento en que llegué a España puse la SIM en mi celular y jaló re bien! Inmediatamente tuve conexión de datos y con eso me pude mover en las calles. Lo único que hice fue activar el roaming (Android) y ya, no configuré nada más. En Portugal también tuve conexión todo el tiempo en la calle, nunca tuve ningún inconveniente. Estuve allá 10 días en total y me alcanzó perfecto la cantidad de datos que da la SIM, ni me los terminé. La recomiendo!

I will start with what I liked about this deal. I got all the data I needed. I was able to make all the calls I needed and receive all the calls I needed. I didn't have to worry about running out of data or phone credits for the first 30 days. But here is where the problem snuck in. I was traveling with my son and daughter in law and we had planned the trip almost down to the hour. The problem was that they returned to the States after 23 days. I stayed for a total of 6 weeks. While they were here, whenever we had to do some 'operational' stuff to keep everything running smoothly, we just did it all at the same time. A good example of what I mean is we all switched our sim cards out at the same time. Since they had to leave before I did, they weren't affected by this 30-day rule. Maybe if I was traveling alone, I would have read all the fine print. But since we were all together, I just followed suit and did stuff when they did. So, they went back early unaffected by running out of credits/data at the 30-day mark. Since I was staying, I had to worry about keeping my phone active. This is where the problems crept in. I knew up front that this deal was only good for 30 days. But they were quick to advertise that all you have to do it 'top up' your phone and you will have uninterrupted service. There were several different plans available for whatever you might need. There was a 'top up' plan there that was for 14 days. It was perfect. I didn't need to buy a plan that had a lot of data on it because I had a special deal with this that had an additional 50GB of data. So, my first 30 days had 100GB of data (more that I really needed, but was nice to know that I didn't have to worry about running out). The 14-day top up would carry me through to a day after I flew back. Perfect! So, being the planner I am, I 'topped up' my phone in plenty of time so I wouldn't miss the expiration and have an interruption of service. The phone was crucial as we used it to call for an Uber when we needed to get to someplace faster than the subway or buses would take us. Time went on and one day (well before I had to fly back) I noticed my phone no longer had service. I had been getting text messages from Orange telling me that I needed to 'top up' if I didn't want to have an interruption of service. I thought they might just be pre-scheduled reminders and ignored them as I had an email with my 'top-up' receipt that I paid to extend my service out the additional 14 days. BTW, when I topped up, I discovered the little rule that if you don't register your phone (with Orange), your phone will be shut off at 30 days. You have to register your phone number with all your passport information, etc, or they'll just shut you off. My son and his wife never registered their phones because they were leaving before the 30 days were up. I discovered this rule/law when I was going through the top up process. I registered, then I topped up. I was so proud of myself knowing I was all set through the end of my vacation. So you can imagine the shock I went through not having any phone service or Internet. I let my French relatives know of my dilemma and they said not to worry, there were Orange kiosks everywhere. We went to one that was 2 blocks away so that was comforting. We got there and through my relative that translated everything, we conveyed out problem and our shock and disappointment. I told him I had credits and data through another 14 days and showed him the email receipt. He checked his system and said I didn't have any credits. I showed him the email receipt on my phone again (they had free wifi in the kiosk and that is how I was able to show him). He then asked me if I had registered my number. Of course, I told him I did. His system still did not show anything. He punched in coded into my phone to see if he could find anything that way. Nothing. He finally said that he worked for Orange and the sim card deal was really from Travel Orange. This was almost a different company but wasn't. He said that as far as operations go, they are a different entity. He was able to locate a phone number to a support person from Travel Orange and what I found out was shocking. The support person also told me that I had no credit or data on my phone and that is why it is shut off from service. When I asked about the 'top up' I paid for, she told me that yes, she could see where I topped up. However, that top up had already RAN OUT! I asked her how that could be. The top up was supposed to carry me through the end of my vacation. I originally bought the 30-day card and then bought an additional 14-day top up bringing me to 44 days of phone service. I still had another 14 days to go so how could I have run out of credits and data??? After going round and round with her, she told me that when I 'topped up' 14 days ago, the top up was the same as a new contract. The new 14-day contract (the alleged top up) superseded the old contract. In effect, my original contract with all the extra data and unused phone credits was truncated and REPLACED with the new 14-day contract. Well, unbeknownst to me, that 14 days lapsed and I WAS out of credits because they deleted them from my 30-day sim card. I asked if there was any record of how many credits I had left before they erased them and she said unfortunately not. We went round and around about what 'top up' means in English. She more or less said that I cancelled the old contract my putting a new contract in its place. Bottom line is I had to 'top up' AGAIN to get me through the end of my vacation.I am very disappointed and think this is borderline of deceptive advertising. Top up, top off. It all means the same thing. I felt they STOLE the remainder of my 30-day contract and I am very unhappy about it. Someone said that it doesn't matter how much you have at the end of your 30 days as none of it carries over to the new contract, or 'top up.' That might be well and good and I can understand that. But I didn't get to the end of my 30-day contract because they cancelled it 14 days early. I paid for TWO top ups when I should have only had to pay for one.If you are going to use this product on a European vacation and you aren't planning to stay longer than 30 days, then it is probably a good deal. You don't have to worry about registering or topping up your credits. But if you are planning to stay longer than 30 days, BUYER BEWARE. I would look for another provider. Perhaps one that does not practice deceptive advertising. Will I ever use Orange again??? NO!!!

Todo muy bien

This was the best thing I bought before we left for Europe!! Our U.S. cell provider does not offer any type of cellular service option for traveling in Europe. So, I had been considering a burner phone when I discovered this Orange European SIM card. It was the perfect solution. This SIM card will only work in an unlocked phone, in Europe. Because my husband and I both own our iPhones, we did the following BEFORE we left for Europe: (1.) had his iPhone unlocked, (2.) turned on his Roaming (3.) turned on his Personal Hot Spot, and (4.) opened the Orange SIM card package only for the purpose of writing down the new unique European phone number associated with this SIM card. We did NOT install the Orange SIM card until we were in Europe. Then we powered his phone off until we landed in France. Once we landed, we installed the Orange SIM card and carefully placed his original SIM in the package for reuse when we returned to the U.S. In France, we powered up his phone and “Voila” - it literally worked immediately. Because Personal Hotspot was turned on, I could tether my phone to his and all of my services (cellular, text, WiFi, apps) worked as long as I was in close proximity to his phone. This allowed us to use my phone for SIRI and Maps for walking or driving directions in Spain, France and Italy. It was just like being at home with SIRI telling us where to turn and how far to walk to reach any of the iconic destinations or addresses we wanted. It literally would not have been possible to do everything without this SIM card. Orange SIM service is available for 14 days without registering or buying any additional cellular service. After 14 days, if you’re still in Europe, you will need to buy Orange cellular service, which can be done for small intervals of time. When we left Europe, we powered off his iPhone. When we landed in the U.S., we installed his original SIM and everything is working perfectly again on our regular cell service. The Orange SIM card was the EXACT solution I needed in advance for peace of mind, and absolutely invaluable for SIRI’s information. Highly, highly recommend!!! I never needed their tech support, so I have no experience with that aspect. However, we did see a lot of Orange cellular stores all over Europe, so I imagine they would have helped us, if it had been needed.
