BLACK25

Hi OzBargain,

I’m Aidan from SimsDirect, welcome!

We decided to get in on this Black Friday/Cyber Monday hype and open up our store for the weekend with 25% off all our prepaid travel SIMs. This is our first Black Friday sale ever so we're pumped to see what happens! We won't be doing any storewide deals again unless it's a big event like this.

The sale ends Monday midnight. If we run out of stock you will get the option to 'pre-order' with the discount for our next batch of stock. Please allow an additional 7 business days for delivery if you pre-order.

Although this is a deal for our USA SIM, we are currently offering 25% off everything. I will be posting our best sellers this weekend as separate deals because we get a lot of questions about the products that will be a little tricky to handle all in 1 post.

A big thank you to everyone who purchased and supported us in our Japan SIM deal last week and hello to anyone who hasn’t met me or the team before.


I’d like to start the deal with a quick story about us but if you don’t have time to read or you have read it from our previous posts. It’s all good, just scroll down to ‘The Deal’ :)

I started SimsDirect with my best mate in February this year and can confidently say it has been an absolutely crazy ride for the two of us. We have had an explosive year of growth and the amount of support and positive feedback we received from Aussie travelers has been awesome.

In the past 7 months, we have moved into an office, brought on our first employee and learned a lot about growing and managing a business. It has been extremely fulfilling to build SimsDirect from scratch and an incredible feeling to be able to help thousands of Aussies travel connected overseas.

However, it hasn’t been all rainbows and unicorns. Mac and I are both in our mid-twenties and we have never owned and operated a business before, so unsurprisingly, we’ve made plenty of mistakes and had our fair share of difficulties to overcome. We don’t always get it right, but the one thing that's pushed us through is looking after our customers and appreciating every bit of support we receive. We wouldn’t be here without the love and support of not just Ozbargain, but every customer we’ve been fortunate enough to help.

So why am I telling you all this? Well, we want to see how far we can take SimsDirect! It’s going to be a long journey but we are going to take a crack at becoming Australia’s leading Travel SIM brand and to help as many Aussie travelers as we can. We aren’t going to be able to do this without your feedback and support so please let us know your feedback in the comments and leave an upvote if you see value in what we are trying to do!

Thank you for reading,
-Aidan and SimsDirect Team

Phone Compatibility

For this SIM to work you need to have an unlocked device.

  1. In the first drop down: scroll to the bottom and select ‘Other (GSM) Carrier’
  2. In the second drop down: Type and find your device
  3. Click ‘Check Device’

If you cannot find your device I would recommend avoiding T-Mobile SIM cards.
You will need an AT&T SIM that supports your devices network bands.
We offer an AT&T Data SIM which you can find here

  • Hey guys, let me know if you have any question , I'll be happy to help :)

  • Avoid this retailer at all costs, review the compilation by @BradleyDS2. My personal experience for this retailer was significantly poor, with the product being delayed shipping and the item going on deeper discount before my order had even been dispatched showing it was in stock?

    For anyone traveling to the US just use wifi/roaming when you land to find yourself a AT&T store and buy a sim card there. I paid around $60USD (Yes it's more) for a 1 month sim with unlimited data and some call inclusion I don't care to remember.

    • Sorry to hear that I purchased 2 Sim's (Europe) no problem at all - worked well.

      • Great to hear chrisie! I'm glad you had a good experience.

        Thanks for the support :)

    • Hey maxwellian,

      Thanks for sharing. I understand your concerns with us based on the mistakes we made with you 6 months ago. I do sincerely apologize again max.

      With Bradley's compilation; I addressed this in our previous deal a few weeks back here

      I have made the necessary changes to our business to ensure we come through on deliveries and make sure all customers are looked after!

      From now onwards, to make sure we don't make the same mistakes as last time. I am monitoring our stock levels and making sure we don't oversell. We've been much more organised with our stock in our deals as you can see from our previous deals. And this will be the standard we will be sticking to from now on to make sure that we don't cause the same problems.

      Additionally, in the unlikely event your order gets lost in the mail or we can't deliver on time. All customers are entitled to our 100% money back guarantee. I don't want to take your money unless you get your order and get value out of the product.

      I appreciate you commenting on our threads to warn others, and you are free to do so. However, I can assure you we will not be causing any problems like last time.

  • Hey, is there a reason to go with this sim over the Europe one which is 12GB and can be used in the USA as well?
    https://simsdirect.com.au/products/uk-europe-71-countries-12…

    Thanks!

    • Hi kw443,

      Data speed. The ThreeUK SIM will be 3G/H+ speeds where as the USA specific SIM is 4G LTE.

      The THree SIM is great because it works in so many countries but it doesn't compete with an actual USA SIM card.

      Calls and texts are also another bonus for this one.

      Hope that helps!

  • Is it possible for SIMSDirect to stock the Starhub internet 2gb/day for 15 day SIM - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/374391 ?

    • Hi brisdaz,

      I wish!

      That's an incredible product but there is a lot of red tape (registration, ID requirements) for that product. So we might not ever be able to import it here to Australia. We will keep trying but no promises.

      Cheers,
      -Aidan

    • Yes the same manufacturer, but different product.

      The one we have is a custom 'Travel SIM' version of this product. It looks completely different and is not rechargeable like that one.

      Hope that clears it up for you.

  • Simcorner seem to have a 40% off storewide with their black friday promocode BLACKFRIDAY. Their unlimited 4G data sim ended up being $49.50 with the code. Do you guys have an unlimited 4G Data usa options??

    • Hi tclips24,

      We don't have anything with unlimited data like Simcorner unfortunately.

      Thats a great deal, I wouldn't blame you for getting on it!

      Cheers,
      -Aidan

    • Hey how does this work? I can't seem to find any area to enter a promocode.

  • Hi, just enquiring whether calls to Australia includes calls to mobiles, or is it limited to landlines? Thanks!

    • Hey Doug,

      It includes both landline and mobile numbers :)

  • Hey Aidan, is Asia Travel SIM uses China Unicom in China? Does it bypass the Firewall? or I better of getting the China & Hong Kong one? Cheers.

    • Hey Bnabbe,

      The Asia SIM has an inbuilt VPN also, so it bypasses the firewall.

      In terms of data speed, I would recommend our 3GB/30day or 2GB/15day options for China as they have faster speeds with China Unicom.

      Hope this helps,

      -Aidan
