No IMEI, No Problem!

While all our competitors require an IMEI number to activate your SIM card right before your travel date, WE DO NOT REQUIRE IMEI NUMBERS from you! This is because we don’t use third party activation portals, we activate via T-Mobile themselves. This means your card is preactivated for any date before January 1st 2016 through the most reliable source available, T Mobile themselves. Anyone who asks for an IMEI is using a third party to activate, and sometimes issues can arise from this. We don’t and this works out easier for all. Keep your private information in your own hands and avoid sharing this information where it is not needed!
When Does The SIM Card Have To Be Activated By?

We require your SIM card for this deal to be activated by the 31st of December 2015 i.e. You Should Be Entering The USA By Around This Time! For People Travelling After This Date Please Check Our Store Close To Your Travel Dates for More Great Deals.

What Do I Do When I Arrive Into The USA?

Simply Insert Your T-Mobile SIM Card Into Your Phone and You Will Receive a SMS Within Minutes Advising You of Your USA Mobile Number and You Are Ready to Holiday!

Can My Phone Use This T-Mobile SIM Card?

Almost all Australian Mobiles Will Be Able to Use This Product, As Long As Your Phone Is Unlocked! To Double Check Compatibility Against Uncommon Mobiles, Please Check Against:

    Hi Rep, if I have an existing T-mobile sim card any chance I can top up using my existing card and have it activated when I'm in the states (getting there late November)? Just so that I'm able to keep my existing number.

    Edit: just checked your site and it asks me for the date I'm arriving into the USA, what happens if I'm not sure of the exact date when I will arrive?

    • Store RepTravelSIMSDirect @ Travel Sims Direct on 18/02/2015 - 20:45

      Hi zxreth,
      Unfortunately it has to be a SIM card that is activated with a new number. If you are unsure about your travel date, you can purchase then email us the date once you know (though please remember to do so).

      • zxreth on 18/02/2015 - 20:58

        Thanks Rep, and just to clarify if I happen to arrive in the states on the 25th of December 2015, the credit will not expire until the 25th of January 2016?

        • Store RepTravelSIMSDirect @ Travel Sims Direct on 18/02/2015 - 22:16

    Hi rep, can you please clarify what bands are required for coverage in Hawaii? I'm concerned I'll only get 2G. Thanks.

    • Store RepTravelSIMSDirect @ Travel Sims Direct on 18/02/2015 - 22:31

      HI Cyssero, depending on the handset you have and its compatibility with T-Mobile's frequencies. You may get 4G data speeds should your phone be compatible with both 1700Mhz and 2100Mhz frequencies. Please check your handset specifications first, and see this link for more information. https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4988

      • MadMapMan on 19/02/2015 - 06:43

        Most Aussie mobiles DON'T have the 1700MHz band, so are unlikely to be able to get full 4G speeds.

        My understanding (from a store rep in the DC area @Aug 2014) was that T-Mobile were depreciating their use of the 1700 band, but this isn't what this support page says.

        I'd be mighty disappointed if I bought one of these SIMs assuming that I was going to get full HSPA+ speeds, and ended up with a lousy EDGE data rate.

        I don't think that missing the 1700MHz band affects LTE, so YMMV…

        Rep: Care to comment?

        • Sumomaster on 19/02/2015 - 10:57

          I am using a Samsung Galaxy S4 which supports these bands (4G (LTE): 800/850/900/1800/2100/2300/2600Mhz). So I'd like to know if I will get decent data speeds.

        @MadMapMan: We have found that the majority of our customers get good speeds (usually at the very least satisfied) with a combination of a modern phone and travelling within major cities. When customers phones are compatible with the 4G LTE max speed, they often still get a very good speed (subject to location as mentioned previously). Obviously like all countries the more you skew away from the more populated areas reception is sacrificed.
        @Sumomaster: Most of our customers with a Galaxy S4 have experienced good speeds, so you should expect good speeds in most major cities even if your not at the full 4G LTE rate!

  • drewbles on 18/02/2015 - 21:05

    AT&T have just released new GoPhone plans, 1.5GB for $45 or 4GB for $60, (with unlimited texting (including to Australia and calling within the USA and now Mexico on the $60 plan). Yes it's more than the T-Mobile offering here, but IMHO it's worth the premium if you want decent coverage.

    I've been using my AT&T SIM for years; $100 credit keeps the SIM alive for 12 months, and you can change to a PAYG plan just before you leave the country. AT&T is a far better option for people who travel to the USA more than once a year, and their network is far better for coverage as well as frequency support on Australian mobiles (iPhone 6 works great on their LTE network).

    Only downside is you need to get a SIM there. If flying into LAX, there's an AT&T store on Sepulveda around a mile from the airport. It's not as convenient, but may work better for some.

  • skskskskzzz on 18/02/2015 - 21:05

    Say I buy the 5GB option, when I go overseas in April, I just plug the sim card in and it will start working?
    Also how long does the block of data last for? 1 month from activation or one week???

    • Store RepTravelSIMSDirect @ Travel Sims Direct on 18/02/2015 - 22:19

      Hi pamyz,
      1) This card is only for the USA so it cannot be used in Canada, sorry.
      2) You can either buy 2 separate cards from us and stagger the activation dates to cover your trip (though from one sim to another you will change numbers) or you can recharge over there and keep the same number (though you will have to pay full RRP there).

      You can do either, keeping the same sim you will get to keep the same number but will have to pay full price for the recharge.
      If you got 2 sims from us it would be cheaper for December trip but each sim would have a different number associated to it.

      Hi Coriander,
      It is quite a common situation we get. Customers by for their current phone but before they leave they get a new phone with different SIM size requirements. All we ask of them is to mail is back the SIM and we replace it with the right size.
      But of course you can just wait until you know what phone you will be taking also.

    Hi, TravelSIMS, mine has not arrived as yet, but I would like the number a couple of days before departure to to a lot of hotel and flight bookings etc.

    When would I normally know the number? I'll need the sim in country for 29 days. So if it goes for say 31 days (?), I guess 29 days plus 2 days before departure = 31.

    • Coriander on 23/02/2015 - 16:25

  • kyle on 24/02/2015 - 23:46

    For those who are considering using the sim in Hawaii, here's my experience when I was there two weeks ago.

    I previously purchased the T-mobile unlimited 4G sim for $40 using the deal from this forum to use on my Samsung S5.

    Activation was a breeze. I simply inserted the USA sim into my phone upon landing and got text messages from T-mobile with my new number.

    In Hawaii, I visited Big Island, Kauai and Oahu.

    Overall, I think the T-mobile's coverage is crap. However, unbeknownst to me, the card actually came with 100mb of roaming data which allowed me to roam onto the AT & T network when T-mobile data was unavailable. This at least allowed me to search for a destination on Google Maps and start navigation. My phone also roamed onto AT & T when there was absolutely no T-mobile coverage on GSM.

    On the Big Island, I was on both the Kona side and the Hilo side. There was very, very limited 4G coverage. Most of the time, it's just on the barely usable Edge network, not even 3G.

    In Kauai, there were more pockets with 4G coverage, but again it was often on the Edge network.

    In Oahu, my phone was always connected to HSDPA. I don't recall seeing any 4G symbol on my phone. At Honolulu airport, at the departure gates, it was back to the Edge network.

    So there you go. If I go to Hawaii next time, I think I'll go for at AT & T card despite its higher cost.

      Thanks for the thorough and useful feedback kyle! Based on your feedback and our own research we are working hard to find an alternate service for places like Hawaii and more remote destinations but with the reception of AT&T in these areas but better value for money than AT&T. Hopefully this works out soon for us!

    • Paul Atreides on 03/03/2015 - 17:26

      umm, it charges the person that calls, not the recipient. so the person calling you would have to foot the bill. you on the other hand wont get charged for answering the call itself
