Needed help in setting up my account for SIM and extra-number payments. Gino R was great! Helped me thru multiples steps in the process. Appreciate your "live person" help.

A problem occurred and the technical support people found an obscure setting in my iPhone that needed to be changed. That fixed what was a vexing problem that was not the fault of 1Sim VOIP.

Watch out when changing from Telestial to OneSim

After many promptings to upgrade from my old Telestial account to OneSimCard, I did so. But be careful when you do this as OneSim now gives you an Estonian primary number even when I had only a US phone number before. They give you the US number as an add-on to the primary Estonia number. So when you fund the new account, they then later ask you to pay again separately to keep the original US number. You can use the funds on the Estonia number account for minutes & data on both numbers (so they told me), but you can't use that money to pay for keeping your US (original) number. So be careful when funding the new account.
Their online help was prompt but they would not transfer over any of the new account funding I paid for keeping the original US number.
So it is tricky when you only have the account & number for say a US number and they foist the primary Estonian number onto you with the original US number as an adjunct to the Estonian account/number. I didn't think the downgrading of the primary US number is was explained clearly when changing to OneSim, which is disappointing. I have no need for an Estonian phone number, only ever wanting a US one. But obviously it works economically for OneSim to do this.

Customer service is appalling it has taken me over 6 months to be told the reason my sim card does not work in my iPhone 11 pro is because I need a new sim.
To get a new sim they want to charge me $30 as they will not issue a complimentary replacement. This is a standard service in the UK!
I have a large balance on my account because they keep telling me I have to top up the card in order to keep the balance already on it, The minimum of which is $20, even thou there is a global pandemic and no one is travelling. It no top up or lose the money on your account. Why is this not theft?
Then when I try to purchase the replacement sim they tell me I have to buy as a new transaction. I am not able to use any of my money they are holding.
And they will not refund any of the money they have on account if you cancel your account so they hold you to ransom.
These guys are only after taking ur money rather than actually giving a service or looking after their customers. I feel very let down by my experience with this company and as soon as I able to use all of the $130 they have of my hard earned cash I will be cancelling this account. I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy.

First real use of two-factor authentication from my US bank. Code came through extremely quickly. Seamless process and much easier than using a friend as before. Thoroughly recommended for expats everywhere.

So far so good

So far so good. I bought it primarily to get 2fa messages from banks. Excellent network coverage in the Tristate area. Hope it works outside the country too especially in India.

However, the UPS package was damaged like it was dropped in a puddle and stepped over. It was partially open and even wet to touch when I picked it up. The Sim card package was also wet but the SimCard worked great.

This sim doesn’t work

I got this sim to travel to Mexico. When I got there, I couldn’t call or text. I had to buy a Mexican sim. I don’t understand why it wouldn’t work, even with the help of the phone vendor in Mexico. I also couldn’t use it with esim, which was the whole purpose of buying this expensive sim-so I didn’t have to use two phones.

Hello Rachel,

We have looked though our records and we are unable to find any record of you getting in touch with our support. We can see that mobile data was working in Mexico, so the SIM card was working and connecting to a network. However, we do not see any call request signaling or outbound SMS. This is something you would want to contact support for.

We do not have any agents in Mexico, so we do not know who you got assistance from in Mexico, but it wasn't us. As for the eSIM, that will only work in eSIM compatible phones. Again, we do not see any contact from you regarding issues with the eSIM not working or the other SIM not making calls in Mexico.

Please contact our support directly though our website with live chat, or our support request system. You can also reach us at the number found at the foot of the website or in the Contact section.

Thank you,
OneSimCard Support

Great concept, soso execution

Great concept.

Unluckily Internet is slow and not very reliable.

I use it to get bike and bicycles with rideshares and it takes ages to start one -and you need to be careful that you will be able to end the trip-.

And SMS take a lifetime to arrive, so if you want to use it for the various 2-steps authentications, you might struggle with those institutions that put a time limit to the SMS.

Landline no offered not a mobile no!

I read the the details on their web ,which clearly says that one europe no will be provided for a charge and one Estonian no come free. But when you try to buy the mobile no , you are offered land line options! not a mobile. When inquired will this land line no work with all the bank , paypal other sms notifications, answer was no warranty, obviously land line is not same as mobile and it will not work , I could not use the esim purchased and it was waste. I tried to contact them for a refund , but they were not interested, its a miss sell, keep out if you can and they are other options

Hello Waz,

The standard US Call and Text phone numbers that come as a free trial are a type of DID forwarding number. They will not work for verification services, but work fine for voice and text calls from other phones all over the world.

We do offer a special US Number for Bank Verifications that you will see listed in our Personal Extra Number offering. It is also a featured independent product offered on our website (without the need for a SIM). This is a special feature number and has be be added to the service, it is not available on a trial basis. It is most likely that our customer service was referring to that special US Bank Verification number, and you got confused.

We are not able to locate any communications records for the name provided for this review. We encourage you to reach out to our customer service and ask for a manager to review your purchase and communications with our customer service.

Thank you,
OneSimCard Support

First Class Service

We’ve been using a service cell provider, which has caused us a significant amount of problems to the point of losing money. We discovered OneSimCard by chance; our ability to connect and communicate when travelling within the EU and elsewhere was a motivating factor in our decision to purchase a SIM-Card from OneSimWorld. We were delighted with the high level of customer care we have received from an excellent service agent (Jonathan). This company has surpassed our expectations, and as such, I highly recommend it to both personal and business users.

The product overall is not had, but the information on the website isn't detailed enough and lack transparency. It takes a while to gather the facts.
