| Service Life |
Your service remains active until your airtime credit is depleted or for a maximum of 5 months after the day you last recharged your account. Should your Estonia service expire for either of the above-mentioned reasons, you enter a 30-day grace period, where you can receive calls and call customer service in order to recharge. If you have remaining airtime credit and recharge within the grace period, the credit will be accumulated.
Failure to recharge your account before the end of the sixth month will result in your Estonia service to be disconnected and recycled. In order to continue using the service, you will need to buy a new SIM card. |

Keeping in touch while in Estonia can be very a frustrating and expensive experience without an international cell phone and Estonia 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.
Estonia 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 Estonia 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 Estonia prepaid SIM chip is a quick and easy way to convert your existing world phone into a prepaid Estonia cell phone for Estonia and as discussed is more economical then a Estonia cell phone rental. For your next assignment or vacation in Estonia, 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.
