When I dial following your instructions it does not work. What's wrong?
This answer applies to SIM cards purchased before January 1, 2017.
Some phones, such as Samsung, some Motorola, Android and Apple iPhones, require special dialing instructions or simple OneSimCard settings menu changes in order to make calls.
It is possible to make almost any phone entirely compatible, so you can call directly without using the OneSimCard menu or *146* by following these simple programming instructions below.
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 or OneSimCard app and it looks like one of the apps.
 Â
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.
If for any reason after entering compatibility code, you still do not get a ringback or you get the ringback the first time you make a call, but second time it would not work, please enter code 802 into the Service Code window instead of 1101 as provided above.
Â
iPhone users can download OneSimCard Assist App from iTunes that will takes care of the iphones compatibility issues, except for removing the ringback.
For example, calling to USA:Â Dial *146*0016175551212# and press the TALK (or SEND) button
The sequence *146* and # at the end can be used from any phone. However, most phones do not require it.
We strongly recommend you to watch very short video tutorials that will help you to understand how to make calls, SMS and data on your OneSimCard Phone.

How do I prevent the service from expiring?
The OneSimCard phone number has no expiration, provided you made at least 1 call or sent an SMS once every 12 months.
However, the funds on the SIM expire 10 months after your last recharge. The minimum recharge amount is $25. You can keep the balance from expiring by simply recharging at least once every 10 months. If you let your balance expire, then all you need to do to get the service up and running again is to log in and add funds to your SIM card. Automatic recharge will be canceled if you let your funds expire.
NOTE: For DataMax Plastic & 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.
Â
An expired SIM can be restored for a $10.00 restoration fee plus a recharge of at least $25.00.
Â
Do I need to have Data Roaming turned on for eSIM to work?
Yes. Data Roaming should be enabled on your phone for eSIM for data to work. Calls and texts on eSIM World should work with or without it.
Will I get a bill for using OneSimCard service?
No. DataMax, DataMax eSIM, OneSimCard Universal, Expedition and eSIM World service is a prepaid service. You will not be able to spend more than you put on the SIM, except when you set the automatic recharge of the SIM. There are three simple ways to add funds to the balance of the SIM: from on-line, from the mobile phone and by setting up an automatic recharge. This pertains to both - purchased SIM cards.
