I have a Samsung phone. When I dial following your instructions it does not work. What's wrong?
Some phones such as Samsung and some other brands require dialing a specific prefix 146 in front of the dialed string when used with a OneSimCard.
For example, calling to USA: Dial *146*0016175551212# and press the TALK (or SEND) button
* is a star character located on the keypad
- To check your balance dial *146*099 and press the TALK (or SEND) button
- To add funds dial *146*098XXXX*ZZ and press the TALK (or SEND) button,
where XXXX - 4 last digit of your credit card on file, ZZ - Recharge amount
- You need to press * on your phone in the above dialing sequences
- Activation of voice mail *146*091 and press the TALK (or SEND) button
- Deactivation of voice mail *146*090 and press the TALK (or SEND) button
- Check number of messages in Voice Mail *146*094 and press the TALK (or SEND) button
- To listen to voice mail *146*095 and press the TALK (or SEND) button
The sequence *146* can be used from any phone. However, most phones do not require it.
It is possible to make almost any phone entirely compatible, so you can call directly without using OneSimCard menu or *146* by following these simple programming instructions below.
How to activate compatibility mode:
1. Locate and Open "OneSimCard" Menu. ( It could be displayed as STK Menu)
2. Select "Settings"
Newer SIM Cards: Select "Compatibility" and make sure "On" is selected
Older SIM Cards: After selecting Settings:
- Agree with message by pressing "Yes"
- Dial digits "1101" and select "OK" (Screen will show "CC OptionX: ON" message)
Bear in mind that if you have powered your telephone down, and have removed and reinstalled the battery, you will need to follow the programming steps outlined above, again.

When I try to make a call, I get a message 'Call is modified and cannot be made'. What does that mean?
Some phone models do not allow direct dialing with older OneSimCard SIMs sold before January 1, 2017.
To get around this problem, you should try either of these methods:
- Locate the OneSimCard menu on your phone. (Some phones have it in Applications.)
Make a call using menu 'Call'.
- You can also make a call by dialing directly *146*00 Country Code Number#
For example, to make a call to the USA, you would dial *146*0018574440686# (do not forget to hit pound at the end of the number)
* is a star character located on the keypad
Other examples of how to use th *146* dialing prefix if necessary:
- To check your balance dial *146*099# and press the TALK (or SEND) button
- To add funds dial *146*098XXXX*ZZ# and press the TALK (or SEND) button,
where XXXX - 4 last digit of your credit card on file, ZZ - Recharge amount
- You need to press * on your phone in the above dialing sequences (it is a star character located on the keypad)
- Activation of voice mail *146*091# and press the TALK (or SEND) button
- Deactivation of voice mail *146*090# and press the TALK (or SEND) button
- Check number of messages in Voice Mail *146*094# and press the TALK (or SEND) button
- To listen to voice mail *146*095# and press the TALK (or SEND) button
The prefix *146* and # at the end can be used from any phone. However, newer OneSimCard SIM do not require it and you should be able to dial codes directly, 091, 094, 095, 099 or 098XXXX*XX Talk.
If you have an older SIM and the dialing does not work without entering *146*, please follow these simple instructions to remove the need to dial *146*:
How to activate compatibility mode:
1. Locate OneSimCard Menu.
On iPhones it is called SIM Applications menu and is located under Settings- Phone menu
On Androids it is called SIM Toolkit app and it looks like one of the apps
- Open "OneSimCard" menu ( SIM Applications, SIM Toolkit, STK)
- Select "Settings
Newer SIM Cards: Select Compatibility option and make sure "On" is selected
Older SIM Cards: After selecting Settings:
- Agree with message by pressing "Yes"
- Dial digits "1101" and select "OK" (Screen will show "CC OptionX: ON" message)
Bear in mind that if you have powered your telephone down, and have removed and reinstalled the battery, you will need to follow the programming steps outlined above, again.
When dialed directly, some Nokia and other phones can display message: "Call is not allowed" or "Call is barred". Just ignore this message and wait for the ring-back for 10 seconds or so.
If your phone is built on Android, you can download an application that will remove the callback ring completely (Android OS version 5 or below) called OneSimCard Direct from Google Play.
