The Explorer SIM card is a simple, cost-effective prepaid service option for seamless international roaming in over 140 countries. Among many other advantages this SIM card are the FREE incoming calls at the most popular destinations and the same low outgoing call rates to mobile phones and land lines, starting at $0.45 USD per minute. Many other global roaming SIM cards often have a significant surcharge when calling to a cell phone but not with the Explorer SIM. When coupled with an international GSM cell phone, your prepaid international SIM card allows you to call friends, family, colleagues and clients with one international phone number from your own cellular phone.
Like most global roaming SIM cards the Explorer SIM is a perfect fit for multi-country, short duration itineraries. The Explorer's rates are so low, that it is often a superior alternative to local prepaid SIM cards in countries where it offers free incoming calls.
The Explorer SIM Card can receive incoming text messages for free! Click here to send a free text message to an Explorer cell phone!

Toll Free Access Option
In addition to your international explorer phone number callers may also reach you via a US/Canada toll free 800 number (877-202-3800 or 888-935-4312), however when called via the toll free number explorer subscribers will be billed a $.35/min surcharge in addition to any incoming call cost. This optional service is provisioned with all Explorer SIM cards.
As a Verizon subscriber, even with international access turned on, you may not be able to dial an Explorer subscriber directly. Consider this a blessing because they would chargeyou a fortune. For the lowest rates, Verizon callers should use the toll-free number to reach Explorer subscribers. |
