OneSimCard Prepaid International 3-in-one SIM Card for Over 200 Countries with $10 Credit – Voice, Text and Mobile Data as Low as $0.01 per MB. Compatible with All Unlocked GSM Phones

This is one of those LEGAL SCAMS products. *FULL REVIEW*I ordered this card on January 19th, 2017; actually, I ordered 2. One was for a friend coming to the United Sates and one for my mother travelling to Spain from United States. Both have unlocked phones. I will give the individual review below this line:Mom's SimCard: As soon as we received the card, we installed the sim card, registered, and signed up for the US number. After researching good enough, I learned before buying that the US number was valid only for 30 days, so I didn't really mind that. We made a test call from my mobile and the weird began... My call was disconnected, so we thought it was a mistake, but few seconds after I received a call from her mobile and when I picked up it gave me the tones as if I was calling my mom. Then, we thought that even though that was really weird the card was active and it was going to work in Spain (I called the company before to make sure Spain was one of the countries that we could use the card). So my mom left on February 8th. She got connected from the airport WiFi and called me through Facebook app telling me she couldn't use the SimCard, so I called the company and they told me her number had a problem and in the meantime I could use an access number (never mention she was going to get charge $0.20). I was still on call with customer service when I tried calling again, but it was unsuccessful. I spent about 20 minutes (mind you I was on my own vacations) trying to get in contact with my mother who was stranded in the middle of Barcelona because I couldn't get a hold of where she was and the person picking her up couldn't contact her neither. When I finally got to talk to her was about one minute because I was running somewhere else, when I tried few minutes later I couldn't contact her anymore. After that we talked through Facebook app while she connected to public WIFIs in Barcelona. So she didn't have voice service or data, the 2 only reasons we bought this card for... I wouldn't have mind to pay $20 during that week to be able to communicate with her. But I spent $43.94 for NOTHING.Friend's Sim Card: My friend arrived in Orlando on February 5th, I was waiting for her at the airport where we installed the SimCard, registered and activate the SimCard. We made the test call, and it was as weird as my mom's that I told her that was the way the Sim Card worked like. In Short, she had the same problems as my mom BUT WORSE, she had to call customer service to solve her issue, when they solved it she was left with $0 on her balance. No voice, no data, no NOTHING, no balance.At the end I paid $80.64 for absolutely NOTHING.

Here is how it worked for me (or actually for my wife who went to a conference in France and then to Amsterdam). I had an old off-the-contract iPhone 3GS that I had AT&T unlock for me. Installed the SIM card (regular for 3GS - not the micro version), activated the OneSim account on-line and got a USA phone number assigned to it (turned out to be a Texas area code) and the SimCard already had an international (Estonian) phone number printed on it - so all seemed good, until over the course of the next 10 days, while she was away, I discovered the following:Receiving calls1. The US phone number is NOT FREE. It's free to a caller from the US (if they have free US long distance like most people do) but the OneSim account is being charged $0.20 per minute while it is accepting a call placed to that US phone number.2. The international number that the card comes with is the Estonia country code. One of the most expensive out there, except maybe countries in Africa. So the OneSim card will not be charged for a call to that Estonian phone number, but the caller from the US will pay at their regular international call rate. I tried using my Google Voice (turned out to be $0.33 per minute - for comparison a Google Voice call to Israel or Russia is about $0.02 per minute). Also using MagicJack, calling from home, was about the same price per minute as Google Voice - and calls to Israel and Russia are also next to free from MagicJack.So it seems like the solution would be to call the US phone number assigned to it and pay $0.20 per minute off the OneSim card account, right? Not so, really... I paid $40 for it and it came with only $10 credit which pretty much all got used up while I was testing the SIM card (calling/answering and texting to/from) after the installation while still in the US. Oh, yes, sure you can recharge the SIM card account but it starts with the $25 minimum!Placing calls:Calling from France and Netherlands to the US was about $0.30 - 0.50 per minute! If the account balance drops below the per minute price, you can't place calls or receive calls to the US phone number assigned to the card (as would be expected) BUT also you CANNOT receive calls to the Estonian phone number either (which is supposed to be free and not require any money from the SIM card account). So no communication, then. The person calling you better check your account balance to see if you have money there to receive a call that is supposed to be "free" for you. And you can add $25 minimum. That seemed like a scam to get you to pay at least $25 more to continue to use the "free" features that come with it! My wife ended up having to send me emails using wifi to recharge her account until I figured out to check the balance regularly. I ended up recharging the card account for $50 in the end just so that she would not be without a phone while I am asleep here (time difference).Texting:YOU CANNOT TEXT TO THE US NUMBER ASSIGNED!!! I called the customer service, they picked up pretty quickly, but the girl at first pretended like she was not sure what problem I was asking about (like no one ever asked about that before) and then sounded pretty annoyed that I was even asking why my texts to the OneSimCard's US phone number get returned with an error message. She explained that it says so in at least three(!) places on the website - "so of course you can't text to the US phone number - it's a landline!" I asked if I will have to pay my regular international text message fee (AT&T) to text the Estonian phone number - she said something like "Duh..., obviously". AT&T I think takes like 50c to a dollar for one of those international texts. However if you have two iPhones and the international one is connected to WiFi at the hotel or at the conference or wherever, then the "Blue" iMessage will work and will be free to both sides. But you never know. If it turns green after a few minutes, you will have to pay for a text message. So I waited for my wife to text me that she is at the hotel before texting her back.She was able to text from WiFi only. I opted out of the OneSim data package when I activated the account. It seemed too expensive to begin with.Technical weird stuff:When you call a US phone number from that OneSim card phone you are not actually calling that number. You are letting their computer know what number you want to call. You dial the number and press "Call"/"Send" and the phone immediately hangs up with "Call Failed" screen. A second or two later, it's ringing as if that person were calling you back. You pick up and hear the dial tones - that's when the phone of the person you were calling begins to ring. Not a major inconvenience, just seems like not the most elegant way to do it and feels like ancient technology like that should cost next to nothing, but it does not!!! (see the pricing above).Conclusion:It was better than nothing (worked for voice calls most of the time - unless the balance was low), but turned out to be much more expensive than I expected. I ended up paying a lot of $$$ on top of the original purchase price and will not be using this card again. I will try to do more research and find a better alternative.I could not believe how many 5-star reviews are out there for this product so I clicked on some "See all my reviews" buttons next to the glowing 5-star reviews. Seemed like the ones I saw came from people who wrote only one review total. Just for this "awesome" SIM card and their unparallelled customer service and never any other product reviews. And most of the ones I saw were not "Amazon Verified purchase". Maybe whomever wrote them will read this and catch on to that and add a couple more reviews for other products to make it look more legit. In any case, this is hardly a 5-star product. Not zero stars (it kind of works for voice calls and you don't pay more than you would have paid if you just brought your regular iPhone abroad), but it's 2-stars at best.UPDATE: The next day after posting this review, I got an email from OneSimCard demanding to edit the last part of it and remove the sentence that was there saying that I thought that maybe their marketing guys wrote those 5-star reviews under various aliases. I was happy to remove the sentence to make them happy - everything is clear regardless. I also used that opportunity to change the rating to from 2 stars to 1 star.

This card worked great at my first destination, Spain. But that isn’t saying much it is easy to get service in Spain. Everything else was a disaster.If you want to use this card and intend to recharge it using PayPal be warned that PayPal will want to verify your identity by sending a text message to your USA phone number, which is inaccessible while traveling. If you want to use a VISA card make sure that is it is verified by Visa, otherwise it will be declined.Talking minutes only last seven days, whereas data can last for 30 days. This is not clearly explained.If you run out of data or minutes and need to purchase more you need to have Wi-Fi access. If you think you may run out of data at a critical moment, and you probably will, Make sure you accept their option to automatically renew. Of course at this point you have no ability control costs. I tried to contact customer service for help. They do have live chat but it is not always available and you need to leave a message. To continue corresponding via email I got a 30 digit access code (sic), which didn’t work.

Para mi reciente viaje a Europa central (república Checa, Alemania) compré una tarjeta OneSimCard Plus, que en Amazon era anunciada como "Tarjeta SIM para más de 200 Países con 10 (...) Crédito para cualquier uso". Además de eso, una vez que recibí el paquete, en una etiqueta cuya imagen anexo, decía claramente que tenía 10 dólares de saldo. Pues bien, cuando ya en Alemania la instalé y consulté el saldo en su app, me salía que tenía $5 USD de saldo. Me comuniqué a su servicio de chat con un tal Jonatan, quien me explicó (en inglés) que "cuando esas tarjetas son compradas con un distribuidor (como Amazon) y no directamente en su sitio web, tienen 5 dólares en vez de 10". ¡Esto no es otra cosa que un fraude, pues en la página de Amazon dice muy claramente que tiene un saldo de 10 dólares!Aquí mi única duda es quién es el que hizo el fraude, si Amazon o bien OneSimCard, pero de que es un fraude, lo es.Por cierto, tengo el texto completo del chat con Jonatan como referencia.Además de este aspecto de fraude, en el aspecto técnico su app es muy deficiente (yo soy ingeniero en computación), pues por ejemplo solo entrega la información del saldo disponible, pero nunca dice exactamente en qué se gastó, si en llamadas (a qué números, cuánto tiempo, a cuánto cada minuto, etc.) o en datos (cuántos MB se consumieron, a cuánto cada MB, etc.). Nada de esto dice la aplicación, simplemente en cierto momento te dice "Se acabó tu saldo, puedes comprar más en la dirección... etc.". En mi opinión esto también es casi un fraude...

Estuve mes y medio en Europa y para poder estar comunicada, sobretodo con datos, compré la OneSimCard. Funciona muy bien en algunas ciudades, por ejemplo en Ámsterdam, en Praga, en Munich. Sin embargo, hay otros sitios donde simplemente no hay señal, a pesar de que en el paquete de datos que contraté dice que sí debe haber, por ejemplo: Mónaco y Roma. Lo raro es que en el Vaticano sí servía, pero en Roma, no.Casi todo el tiempo estuve usando el paquete de datos, así que no puedo opinar mucho sobre el servicio telefónico. Creo que hay que marcarlo como celular internacional, poniendo un número uno (1) después de la clave lada. Mi esposo nunca pudo marcarme. Yo llamé un par de veces y sí funcionó donde lo usé. Sí volvería a usar la tarjeta. Tiene una vigencia de dos años, si no la estás usando continuamente. Así que si viajo antes de dos años, la usaré. Tal vez dentro de unos años ya haya otra opción en el mercado.

Used this in my Moto e4 for our trip to Italy. In addition I purchased 1GB data credit for $20. All I wanted from OneSimCard was to ensure I had a data connection, and an emergency contact number while away. The data plan worked fine in conjunction with WIFI hotspots; We were gone for a week, and I never ran out of data or needed to recharge the card. Of course I would disable the data connection on my phone unless I was currently using it. Outside of a test call before leaving home, I never ended up making a call while abroad. I think if you were to leave the data plan active on your phone, back ground services would grind through the 1GB pretty quickly.

I find the instructions clear just follow them step by step. The most difficult thing for many might be setting up the internet but found that easy too. The rates are okay but still quite pricey but you can buy a data package and use alot more social media apps. You can purchase a local number if need be. A nice service but you have to read carefully for data packages since it is international but still has its limits. Great product! Works well so far in Canada.I will do an update for UK as well.P.S remember to turn your data off so as not to eat the MB/GB's purchased.

I thought this would be a good option instead of using my Canadian carrier’s roaming service. I was mistaken. The website is poorly designed and the instructions are unclear and confusing. The cost of the card (on sale for $29.85 instead of $79.85 at time of this review) is simply for the privilege of buying calling and/or data services. You do get a $10 phone credit but then need to purchase a service by funding your SIM Fund, then activating it so uts available on your device. The process is neither straightforward nor clear on their website. They offer three different apps to download to “help” use their easy services. One to monitor your calling balance; one to make/receive VOIP calls, and one to make regular calls. All-in-all a very poor user experience and likely more expensive than using your regular carrier. Thumbs down!
