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!

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:

    • [Deactivated] on 22/06/2015 - 15:40

      Just thought would chip in… Re tethering

      If you have an unlocked android phone u can buy tethering app to get around tethering restrictions: the carrier thinks you are using the phones browser. As far I know it is not illegal to do it but caveat emptor :) Used it for years to get around optus's stupid tethering rules. Now on an iphone :(

    Is there any reason why TSD sims say no tethering when t-mobile and other resellers say up to 5gb tethering? Great deal for those who dont need tethering though

    • Store RepTravelSIMSDirect @ Travel Sims Direct on 22/06/2015 - 11:06

      Hey mate, T-Mobile are currently running 2 prepaid plans, one with tethering available and one without. It should be noted that the one without is the new plans and has more support and reliability, hence why we choose to provide these. The older plans use 3rd party independent activation systems that in recent months have been sketchy to say the least. The old plans are great but T-Mobile are slowly distancing themselves from them it seems!

  • bloomer on 22/06/2015 - 10:16

    I crossed the country with one of these just last month and it's important to be aware of the following:

    • A number of Australian model phones will not receive 4G on T-Mobile. You should always look at http://www.willmyphonework.net/ . I knew my LG G2 would not get 4G, so I went prepared for 3G.

    • T-Mobile's coverage (for telephony) was patchy outside of large urban areas, and even in some parts of Los Angeles. Data was mostly EDGE outside of large urban areas.

    • T-Mobile's website is temperamental if you try to use it to monitor your usage (it doesn't play nice with some phone browsers; or maybe it just doesn't play nice except onb a good day!).

    • Store RepTravelSIMSDirect @ Travel Sims Direct on 22/06/2015 - 11:07

      Thanks for the detailed feedback mate! Very useful :)

    • Pythagoras on 22/06/2015 - 11:51

      I also went to the states last month with this sim on a LG g2. I second that Data was mostly edge.
      Got to LA and inserted sim. Got connected straight away but could not get connected to the internet. This was a huge disappointment because we were relying on it to get us back to the hotel using the phone GPS system. Any way I called up T mobile and after just over an hour of transferring asking for my pin code? the operator gave me the work around and got connected. Very stressful as just got off a 18hr flight, holding all luggage, cranky family sitting in the car rental and hard to understand and hear the operator.
      The sim worked ok. Could make calls, use data and was even able to tether. Data/ GPS connection lagged big time when driving around which was the biggest problem.
      Still good value for money though even not on 4g but wish the data got connected too as soon as a landed.

      • bloomer on 22/06/2015 - 21:54

        That's a good point - i'd forgotten about the APN problem. I eventually guessed at something like apn.t-mobile.net or so and it worked until I could find the better apn online.

    • BlitzR on 23/06/2015 - 06:00

      Agree with you there Boomer

      The majority of mobiles in Australia will not get 4G or 3G (since T-Mobile use different bands that o other carriers over there and here) so I think having the 4G data in the title is a little deceiving. In the LA, OC area I only get EDGE and that is frustratingly slow. When I go to America I paid a little strea and got the AT&T sim instead.

  • yj320696 on 22/06/2015 - 11:44

    I bought one of these last year,
    cannot fault the seller but T-Mobile is TERRIBLE.
    like they wish they were only as bad as Vodafone 3 years ago.

    Coverage on a Samsung Galaxy S5 (which has the right bands for USA) was average at best.
    data was terribly slow in Los Angeles CA, Orange County CA, Orlando FL, Miami FL, Washington DC, Arlington VA, Manhattan NY, Queens NY, Brooklyn NY, Las Vegas NV and Victorville CA.

    data was UNUSABLE in Manhattan.

    This time I will be using AT&T and I would encourage travelsimsdirect to sell AT&T Sims as well.

    • 00 on 22/06/2015 - 19:59

        I think we all know from the Voda and Optus experience in Australia that coverage maps are often of limited meaning. I found I had constant access to rather slow 3G data in Manhattan.

      • ma77 on 23/06/2015 - 22:02

        Most people I know avoid T-mobile when in the US due to poor experiences in the past.

          Hi tommyc, as long as you're in the 4G coverage zones, you can expect 4G data speeds. The coverage map which you linked is an excellent indicator of what data speeds you should be getting.

    • Coriander on 24/06/2015 - 17:52

      OTOH we had five (simcorner) t-mobile sims with unlimited H+ data and 5GB tethering in the US in January this year: excellent coverage and data speeds in SFO and on the freeways in Northern California. In Orlando, great speeds everywhere except in the theme parks, but often the Disney and Universal wifi was patchy at the same time.

  • DBAHO on 22/06/2015 - 20:05

  • ozhaggler on 24/06/2015 - 09:55

    Did a 'reasonable' amount of research and decided to go with these guys for the H2O wireless card. For an iPhone, the price for the nano SIM along with a $40 recharge works out to be about the same (with this discount applied). Also some peace of mind knowing we have our SIM cards in hand, ready for us to start using once we land.

    Chose H20 as have read decent reviews & using the AT&T network - now hope it comes in time for our trip in two weeks!

    • bigticket on 24/06/2015 - 14:21

      I agree with you. Australian phones generally marry better with AT&T tower frequencies. And note that the American designation of 4g is sometimes only 3g.

      As a backup, if your card does not arrive in time, you can purchase Redpocket sims for 1 cent each on amazon delivered to your hotel. Call ahead to the hotel so they are aware that you expect a letter. Delivery is about 7-10 working days so you will need to order them now. Check out Redpocket site for calling rates/data.

    I arrived on the 24th with my sim ready to go and it wasn't activating.

    Few emails back and forth and they are still saying that their T-mobile activation is down.

    You can't do much at the T-Mobile store either because they will activate and ask you to pay for the service starting at USD$60.

    It's now been a few days and still no sign of activation..

        Thanks for your reply and refund.

        Just unfortunate that we weren't able to use it for this trip and we don't usually go overseas.
        Everyone also knows how hard it is to split/meet up without mobile communications.

    I just came back after using my T mobile Sim in the US for a month. The experience was great, very good overall service and it worked in most places I visited.

    Here is the issue though, now that I am back here my iphone seems to be locked to the T mobile netwrok. I cant connect to any australian carrier which means my phone is practically useless.

    I am going to contact T Mobile to see what I need to do. I tried resetting the phone and restoring from backup but that didnt work.

    Rep, if you have any advice please share it here as I assume others will be in a similar situation when they come back.

      Hi lancedefrance,
      Honesty that is the very first time I have heard of anything like that! Have never had that issues and we have sold a lot of these in the last few months. It does defy common logic of how SIMS work on unlocked phones.
      I will get our tech guy to look into to greater, he is best suited for this sort of thing but I hope and suspect this is one of those IT things that the answer is under our nose and is an easy fix.
      Will be in touch.

        Thanks so much for the quick response, I know it doesnt make sense. I even took my phone to the telstra shop yesterday but they couldnt fix it. did 2 back up and restore also changed the sim with another telstra sim but nothing works.

        If I use my T mobile sim on this iphone it works however I tried 2 different telstra sims and nothing is working. The same telstra sims work in another iphone.

        I tried to get in touch with T Mobile over web chat but didnt have my pin with me (didnt know there is one) but I assume it is printed on the sim which I dont have on me right now.

        Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

        Cheers

          Might be a dumb question but have you tried another Australian carrier sim like Optus? Just to see what happens and eliminate the possibility of it being a settings issue in regard to compatibility with Telstra.
          Did you play around with any settings on the phone while over there?

          @TravelSIMSDirect:

          Hi Rep

          Thanks for the follow up, no I havent tried another sim from another carrier I tried 2 telstra sims that I had and both didnt work. However I had slightly different issues where on the first sim it would say sim not found, while on the second sim it would say no service.

          I tried a 3rd sim (telstra) and it worked so I asked telstra for another sim which they activated and it is now working so it was a sim issue after all.

          No I didnt touch any settings or anything and really odd that 2 sims didnt work so it might actually be something wrong with the device itself not reading sims correctly but anyway it is working now after installing a new sim.

          Thanks for the follow up and for the great deal.
