Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

First things first... Activation

Give us your Activation Date ✈️

You will be prompted at checkout to select the Activation Date for your SIM.

Your Activation Date is the date that you will need your SIM to be connected for use.

We recommend choosing the date that you land - keeping in mind that we activate on the date you selected at 2 pm AEST (4 am GMT). Your SIM will not work unless you have given us your activation date.

Once activated, connection to the network can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours.

If you are unsure, you can choose an estimated date and reach out to us to change it 🗓

How does activation work?

We will activate your SIM card on the date that you provide during checkout.

Troubleshooting

Quick fixes for common issues

My data isn't working

If you've just activated your SIM

If you've just activated your SIM and you've got a signal, you might need to check a couple of things to get your data working.

Check that you have Data Roaming & Mobile Data turned on in your Settings.

Make sure that you have changed your APN settings to match the following:

Name: AT&T

APN: att.mvno

User name: Not set

Password: Not set

Restart your phone

If it's still not working, try the SIM in another phone to see if it'll work there.

If you've been using your SIM but suddenly your data has stopped working

Check that you have data balance left by dialling *777#

Try turning your device off and on

Try to remove the SIM from your device and re-insert it

Check the coverage in the area you're in, remember to click AT&T Prepaid at the top

If your phone says it's connected to LTE or 4G but the data isn't working, try to manually turn off LTE/4G to connect to 4G/3G.

iPhoneSettings > Mobile > Mobile data options > Disable LTE > Restart
AndroidSettings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Network Mode > Switch to 3G/2G > Restart

It might look different depending on your device! If these instructions don't match exactly, explore your settings until you find Network Mode

I've tried everything and it's still not working
