WHAT DEVICE CAN I USE?

An OPENLINE 4G/LTE smartphone is required for the travel sim to work.  All our travel data sim cards are not compatible with mobile phones purchased from any telecom provider and pocket wifi devices/routers.  Unlocked phones will also not work as some settings needed for a roaming sim to work are still blocked by the service provider.

We cannot guarantee it will work on pocket wifi devices.  We recommend to insert your travel sim on any OPENLINE 4G/LTE smartphone that is not from any telecom provider.

It will depend if the travel sim card you have purchased supports mobile hotspot/tethering feature.  Only the fast speed data allocation of your plan can be shared.  Please see product description for more details.

WILL I BE NOTIFIED ONCE I HAVE REACHED THE LIMIT OF MY DATA PLAN?

Yes. An sms will be sent to you once you have consumed your high speed data allocation.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER I HAVE CONSUMED ALL THE FAST SPEED DATA ALLOCATION FROM MY PACKAGE?

If the travel sim you have purchased comes with limited data plan, then your data will stop and will be unusable anymore.  However, if your package comes with unlimited data plan, then your data will just be shifted to unlimited low speed once fast speed data allocation is consumed. Data sharing is not available once on low speed.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIGH SPEED DATA & THE 3G ON 128KBPS / 256KBPS DATA SPEED?

The high speed data gives you the max speed available in the area you are in which allows you to easily send and receive messages, photos and even videos. While 3G on 128kbps/256kbps speed gives you slow data connection but will still allow you to easily send and receive messages but will be very slow when sending and receiving photos and the like.  Data sharing is not available once on low speed.
