- EC $10 (approx. US$3.74) - Valid for 30 days after loading

Here is how you add your airtime.
- Locate the recharge voucher code, affixed to your SIM card package*
- Enter *121*13-digit voucher number# and press �yes/ok/send�
- For example if your 13 digit top-up voucher is 1234567891023, you must dial *121*1234567891023# then press �yes/ok/send�
- You will be sent a confirmation message
To check the balance of your Dominica SIM card, simply dial *120# and press �yes/ok/send�. The system will send back a message to confirm your balance and expiry date.
*Telestial provides you with a recharge voucher code, that you will find printed on a sticker, affixed to your SIM card package. At your destination, you can add your airtime and may purchase additional airtime in form of scratch cards, where you will need to scratch off the gray protective layer to reveal your recharge voucher code.
REMEMBER: Do NOT purchase another SIM card when your airtime credit is depleted! You only need a recharge voucher! Your incoming calls are always free, even when you run out of airtime. |

| Service Life |
If you do not recharge your account within 3 months after the expiration of the last top up card (FLEXcard) you loaded, your prepaid Dominica SIM card will only receive calls. You will need to top-up in order to make calls. If you do not top-up you prepaid Dominica SIM card for an additional 30 days, your Dominica SIM card will automatically be terminated which means you will have to purchase a new SIM card and a new number will be provisioned. |

| More Information and Resources |
Keeping in touch while in Dominica can be very a frustrating and expensive experience without an international cell phone and Dominica SIM card.
Sometimes a payphone takes coins (But how many is anybody's guess!!!), other times a proprietary calling card and still others only a credit card will do with accompanying instructions that would take a week to understand.
Dominica cellular phone rentals can significantly cut down on the frustration of calling home while abroad but the airtime rates would bankrupt all but the thickest of wallets. Airtime rates for a Dominica cell phone rental can typically start at $1.50 and may be as high as $2+/minute.
Think you got a deal on your world phone and plan on doing some international roaming? With international roaming charges the airtime rate you will pay is out of this world.
The Dominica prepaid SIM chip is a quick and easy way to convert your existing world phone into a prepaid Dominica cell phone for Dominica and as discussed is more economical then a Dominica cell phone rental. For your next assignment or vacation in Dominica, this SIM chip (combined with an unlocked GSM World cell phone) helps you stay connected while avoiding those international roaming surcharges that always accompany your 'home' SIM card while abroad. We offer a growing selection of prepaid SIM Cards for other international destinations as well as a wide variety of GSM cell phone accessories and GSM international cell phones. |
