Access to these partner networks will depend upon the arrangements and or agreements between the Network and the foreign operators. We therefore cannot guarantee 100% access to International Roaming or other Services while abroad. The use of services outside the UK, may be subject to laws and regulations of the country you are roaming in. WorldSIM is not liable for your failure to comply with those laws and regulations. You may also be charged for receiving calls on weekends and where you are roaming outside the Free incoming zones. Data charges are likely to be higher, and you are advised to consider temporarily turning off any functionality that may be using data services while roaming. WorldSIM will not be responsible for any data charges incurred whilst roaming for failure to turn off any functionality that may be using data services that is not required for use by you.

All incoming voice calls which are not answered or which are received when the Product or Services are busy, switched off or out of coverage will be automatically diverted to the voicemail Services where you have activated them or where available.

Receiving international and UK standard SMS whilst in the UK is free. Premium Rate Services, SMS sent and received whilst abroad, reverse charged SMS, text messages sent to a non-UK based phone, and/or long text messages, are not included in the standard rates and therefore additional Charges may apply.

Billing

THIS SECTION CONTAINS KEY INFORMATION - PLEASE READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY

  1. Customer Care is very important to us which is why we would like to ensure that as a valued customer of WorldSIM you are made fully aware of how to get the very best from your WorldSIM service. It is highly important that you register your sim with us online at https://accounts.worldsim.com/Customer/Login.aspx as WorldSIM can only provide you with Customer Service and Technical support if your sim is registered.
  2. Once your sim is registered, by visiting ‘My Account’ online, you will be able to access your account and billing information, top up online or set up an auto top up so that you never run out of credit whilst travelling. Please be advised that if your balance falls below 1.00 then your sim is likely to stop working until you top up/recharge your sim. You will gain access to the support tab, and most importantly to the Self Service Hub which is a knowledge base containing all the information that you need to know to enable you to operate your sim effectively; such as how to apply the right settings to make or receive calls, send or receive SMS, and how to enable or disable data. You can contact Customer Service directly from the Self-Service Hub.
  3. The WorldSIM sim card does not operate in the traditional way where you simply insert the sim card and begin dialling. To enable sim services and to benefit from our lowest rates, you will need to select the correct ‘Profile’ and also select a Roaming Partner Network (RPN) and ‘Recommended’ RPN where available for the country that you intend to roam in. If you know that you will not have access to the internet whilst travelling, we recommend that you keep a note of the correct Profile and RPN information with you for all of the countries that you intend to roam in before you begin your journey. Further details can be found online, please visit our Roaming Partner Network (RPN) page online at https://www.worldsim.com/support/roamingpartners.aspx .
  4. Sim settings vary from handset to handset i.e. standard handsets, iPhone, and Android handsets have different Profile Selection methods. The same applies when it comes to setting up data. The Self-Service Hub will provide you with the correct guidance to correctly enable all services.
  5. In accordance with the information contained in our Roaming Partner Network (RPN) webpage, if you have selected the correct ‘Profile’ and ‘Recommended RPN’ settings for the country that you intend to roam in, you can benefit from receiving free incoming calls on weekdays from Mon 00:00 GMT to Fri 23:59 GMT in over 90 countries. Receiving incoming calls on weekends is normally chargeable. Our website has a Tariffs and Coverage section that provides information on incoming call charges, outgoing call charges, SMS, and data charges. Applying the correct settings will help to alleviate any potential billing issues and at the same will allow you to benefit from our lowest rates.
  6. WorldSIM recommends that you use a Recommended RPN (where available). If the country that you intend to roam in does not have a Recommended RPN, then WorldSIM recommends that you select one of the available RPNs as listed in our RPN webpage only. This will ensure that you continue to benefit from our lowest rates for the country that you intend to roam in.
  7. On the odd occasion, if your handset is unable to connect to a specific RPN and you urgently need service by any means, you may voluntarily choose to select another Profile or Non-Recommended RPN or a non-RPN, however we do not advise you to do this. Rather, caution is advised as this can be expensive, and WorldSIM is not responsible if you voluntarily choose to do this. You will benefit from our lowest rates only if you select the correct Profile, and Recommended RPN or RPN as displayed on our RPN web page.
