I'm having issues making phone calls or text messages
This SIM only comes with : Unlimited local calls in Spain and Romania It does not come with calls or texts whilst your outside of Spain (No calls and text in Europe and UK), it will be data only! If you try to make a call outside of Spain and Romania, you will receive a message advising you to top-up. You can ignore this message but you will not be able to place the call or send the text. If you are within Spain and Romania, make sure you have the correct country code in front of the number that you're trying to call. You can find a list of country codes here. We highly recommend using data applications like FaceTime, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Viber or Skype to make calls and texts internationally. This will work using the data allowance that you have purchased.
I've just put my SIM in my phone and it says "No Service"
If you've inserted the SIM into your phone and you didn't get a 'Welcome' text message or it says 'No Service', it's possible that it hasn't been activated yet. Our system automatically activates these SIMs at 2pm Sydney time on the nominated date - simply message us to let us know that you need an earlier activation and we can help you out :)
You can also try to manually select a network through your settings.
iPhone:
Settings > Mobile > Network Selection > Disable Automatic > Wait for networks to pop up and select one
Android:
Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Network Operators > Search networks manually > Wait for networks to pop up and select one
If it doesn't connect, you might need to click on one a couple of times and then restart your phone.
Note: Settings may differ depending on your device - If these instructions don't match, explore your device's settings until your find "Network Selection" or something along those lines.
Which one do I choose?
Try any of them, and if it doesn't work, try another one!
It's still not working...
Try the SIM in another phone if you can, and see if it'll activate.
