    The mobile hotspot is just part of the 5gb data isn't it? If so, that may be confusing for some who think they have 10gb all up

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 23/09/2014 - 23:49

      Hi Drakes_Misfortune, If you are flying out from Melbourne or Sydney International Airport, you can purchase it directly from our respective stores located after customs. For Melbourne we are located Terminal 2 International Departures (Airside)After Customs, Near Gate 2 and Victoria Secret. For Sydney we are located Terminal 1 International Departures (Airside)After Customs, Near McDonalds and Victoria Secret. The special however is for online customers only unfortunately.

    We used SIM Corner earlier this year for two T-Mobile SIMs.

    Great T-Mobile coverage in LA and New York. A feature/service is that you tell them your arrival date and SIM Corner will activate your SIM/service before your flight lands. So, your phone works on arrival.

    Also, they can advise you, and your family, of the USA phone number(s) before you arrive in the USA. Very convenient.

    We paid full price, plus the normal delivery fee of $8.50 - So this is indeed a great bargain at $40 delivered.

      Hi Chluy,

      If you know your arrival date is going to be this year prior to 31/12/2014, you can purchase the deal now. When you find out your exact flight date, send an email with your purchase details to [email protected] and we will send out the sim card prior to your trip.

      • chiuy on 24/09/2014 - 02:31

        FYI, the site allows you use the coupon and set an arrival date until the end of 2016.
        You either need to honour those purchases or make sure the code will not work in those cases.

    3G: 1900, 1700/2100 Mhz to connect to the T-mobile network.

    Just be aware that T-Mobile still use the 1700 MHz band for their 3G data coverage in some areas of the USA. Many Australian mobiles don't have that band, so data speeds revert to 2G. YMMV.

      Hi MadMapMan

      Thank you for your comment. You have made a very interesting observation - however do note that T-Mobile have been "reframing" their 2G 1700Mhz to their 4G 1900Mhz band. Hence areas where this has occured Australian 3G phones will 3G speeds. Please see the website below which details T-Mobile's network upgrade in greater detail.

        • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 24/09/2014 - 23:37

          The features can not be utilised in Germany, Belgium or Netherland - hence you will need to purchase other sim cards.

          However, if you do not need any data and you just need calls and text - then we recommend that you look into our WorldSim product (http://www.simcorner.com/world-sim.html) - the benefit of this sim card is that you can keep one number as you travel through over 170 countries. Calls and text for the above listed countries are relatively reasonable ($0.19 per text and $0.35 per minute to call Australia).

        T-Mobile has nationwide coverage, including Hawaii - so you will have no issues.

        The iPhone 5, 5s, 6 and 6L all take Nano size sim cards.

    I have been to the states and have used Lycamobile prepaid sim cards on both my USA trips in the last 12 months.
    Lycamobile coverage is great and it costs only USD$29.
    It gives me unlimited USA calls and sms, it also includes a small amount of international calls and sms too.
    If you want unlimited international calls you can buy the prepaid sim which includes free international calls and sms for only USD$39.
    The best part of the Lycamobile prepaid is the unlimited data on the USA network.
    Data may be a bit slow but it works and I had no problem with it in NYC and Chicago and LA airport.
    I also used this prepaid sim cards travelling into country USA without any problems too.
    Mind you, like Australia some rural areas may not have network coverage.
    Set up was easy too. You may have to scout around to see which retailer stocks them once you land in the USA.
    Be aware that some retailers may hike up the price and charge you extra if you are not local. I often walk away and go to another honest seller.

      Hi he88388

      Thank you for provding your personal experience. Lycamobile do have some reasonable priced plan. I believe the USD$29 plan that you noted include only 500mb of 4G data then it slows down to 2G?
      And you are correct - we have heard numerous customers inform us that some local retailers try and charge an "activation fee" or do not sell a sim card to travelers as they are not locals. It is due to these issues,that Simcorner was founded - as we want to take the hassle out of buying an overseas sim card.

      • akpv on 24/09/2014 - 11:02

        It is a US SIM…. I think US only refers to the SIM card / users destination not the users current location. I did some research and it looks like TMobile just use this to help identify your account, you should be able to register with any IMEI and it should still work.

    What does Australia wide express shipping mean? Should I be worried if I haven't got mine yet @ 2500? I ordered 10:45am Sep 24th. Order # 100000901 Tracking information not bringing up any detail.

    I ordered the deal on 7:05am on 24/09/2014 (#100000866). It was shipped on 25th but I still haven't received it.

    I called the 1300 number yesterday they promised to send me an email but I still haven't received any response.

    I called the 1300 number again today which says "unable to connect to the party. account balance is low"?! I'm now a bit worried. (My phone is post-paid and working fine, just called Australia Post afterwards).

      Just received my SIM card. SimCorner did a delivery in person for me. While the initial delivery did not arrive, it's more likely a problem of Australia Post not SimCorner. I really appreciate the effort they made to resolve the delivery issue. I would more than likely use them again in future.
