If you do not make a chargeable call (excluding calls to emergency numbers) at least once in any 3-month period the SIM card will be disconnected and recycled.
Each airtime voucher has a date by which you must register the voucher and use the amount credited to your account. This date is referred to as 'Expiration Date' on the particular airtime voucher.
In the event that the expiration date lapses (even if your Account is in credit) and you do not recharge your account with a new airtime voucher within 60 days, the SIM card will be disconnected and recycled. If you add additional airtime credit within these 60 days, any remaining airtime credit will be accumulated and the expiry date of this accumulated credit will be the expiration date of the new airtime voucher. |

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