The battery in my phone does not last long? It got fully drained during the flight to Europe. Why?
There can be a number of reasons why a battery does not hold a charge. Excluding the possibility of it being a faulty battery, there is another important factor to consider. If your phone is not registered on a roaming network, the battery will drain very quickly as the phone is constantly searching for a network to register on. So, if you get on a 6 hour flight and do not turn the phone off, or put it into airplane mode, by the time you land at the airport your battery will be drained and you will not be able to call back home.
The same thing will happen in those areas with spotty or weak signal network coverage - the battery will drain very fast. It is always a good idea to have an extra battery with you when you travel abroad.

I have an Apple iPhone. When I dial following your instructions it does not work. What's wrong?

How do I make a call using OneSimCard global cell phone service?
To make a call:
With Europe & More, Univesal and eSIM World that do not use the callback to make a call, you will just get connected.
Â
With OneSimCard Plus SIM or Expedition (formerly Data & Roam) SIMs:
After pressing the TALK/SEND button you will see a variable message on the screen (for example 'Wait for call') which you can ignore and your phone will ring back in a few seconds. Answer this ring as you normally would answer any incoming call. Your call will then be connected.
If you are unsure about how to properly dial an international number, follow this link for detailed country by country dialing instructions.
For DataMax, and DataMax eSIM cards, you can place calls using our low cost OneSIM VoIP service. OneSim VoIP costs much less than traditional voice roaming.
What should I do if my OneSimCard phone or SIM card is lost or stolen?
If your phone or SIM card is lost or stolen and automatic recharge is on, this could be a serious problem.
To prevent this, log in to your account and activate the option to block your service immediately after you notice your phone or SIM card is missing. You can find this option in the My SIM Cards menu. Your OneSimCard service for this SIM card number will be instantly blocked. The remaining balance on your lost SIM can be transferred to another SIM card on your account or you can order a replacement SIM card if you would like to keep your phone numbers from the lost SIM. However, the existing data package can’t be transferred to the new SIM card.
Alternatively, you can contact customer service online or call 001-617-313-8888 for assistance.
