We are here to help you get answers to your questions about OneSimCard phones and services.
Can I send an SMS to or from a Common Access Number or Personal Extra Number?
You can't send SMS to a Common Access Number (CAN). Common Access Numbers and majority of Personal Extra Numbers are for Voice Calls only.
We recommend that SMS senders use our free online SMS or email-to-SMS functions as described in the user manual and our FAQs.
Â
Note:Â US and Canada PEN can receive only actual mobile SMS from mobile phones. Alert and verification SMS sent from web sites like Google, Yahoo or your bank will not be delivered to US or Canada PENs due to the way these web sites send their messages.Â
If you require some alerts SMS sent from banks and other institutions, we offer special US-SMS Bank Verification PEN that will be able to receive SMS from mobile numbers as well as from institutions used for 2 step verification processes.
What is time validity of OneSimCard SIM?
All SIM types are valid for 1 year after the last billable use - phone call, sent SMS or data use.
The SIM balance for all types of OneSimCard SIMs is valid for 10 months after the last recharge. Each recharge extends the balance for the next 10 months period. If you do not recharge within the 10-month period, any remaining balance will be forfeited.
Â
NOTE: For Physical 3-in-1Â DataMax & DataMax eSIM SIM cards, if the SIM card has no balance, the SIM will expire and be removed from the account after 7 days, unless there is a data package currently active on the SIM (not a future activation). If there is no balance on the SIM and the active data package expires, the SIM will expire 7 days following the expiration of the active data package. Additionally, if a data package is purchased, and set for future activation, the inactive data package will expire after 6 months from the date of purchase.
Â
An expired SIM can be restored for a $10.00 restoration fee plus a recharge of at least $25.00.
Â
What is an eSIM & how does it work?
Does voicemail work with OneSim VoIP?
Yes. If you are not available to answer the OneSim VoIP call or if the OneSim VoIP app is turned off, the call will be routed through our standard roaming network. If the call is not answered it will be sent to your OneSimCard voicemail box.Â
NOTE: Voicemail is not available for DataMax or DataMax eSIM cards with OneSim VoIP.
Can I install my OneSimCard eSIM more than once?
You can re-install the eSIM World and Asiana on the same phone up to 10 times. These eSIMs can be installed only on one device. Once installed, it's not possible move that eSIM to another device. If you need to install eSIM on another phone, please order a new eSIM. Balance and PEN(s) from the old eSIM can be moved to a new eSIM at your request.When I send an SMS text message I am sometimes charged for multiple outgoing text messages, what's wrong?
This means that your SMS text message has been split up into multiple messages because it contains too many characters.I have more than one Personal Extra Number (PEN). Can I use different PENs for OneSim VoIP?
If you have more than one OneSim VoIP enabled PEN you can switch between these PENs for the purpose of the OneSim VoIP account. This option is available in the My SIM Cards menu in your online account.What kind of payments do you accept?

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.
