National Geographic Talk Abroad SIM Card

  GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

The National Geographic Talk Abroad Travel 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 low outgoing call rates, starting at $0.90 USD per minute. 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 Talk Abroad Travel SIM Card is a perfect fit for multi-country, short duration itineraries. The Talk Abroad Travel SIM Card'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 Talk Abroad Travel SIM Card can receive incoming text messages for free!

 Activating Your Service

Your phone number is printed on the SIM card. Please read the letter carefully and keep in a safe place. Your Global service is already active for you. When you receive your package, you should:

  • 1. Check that the SIM card is correctly inserted and secure.

    * The SIM card is already inserted into your phone if you ordered one. The SIM card is the small chip card located in the back of the phone. It allows you to connect to the network.

  • 2. Attach the fully charged battery to the phone.

  • 3. Turn the phone on.

    * Refer to your handset user guide on how to turn it on.

  • 4. When the phone registers with an available network (this will take 30-120 seconds) it is ready for use.

    * To make an outgoing call, simply dial the +country code (1 for the US/Canada) and phone number and then press the [SEND] key. You will then receive an incoming call. Simply answer the call and wait for your party to be connected. For example, dial +12313375555 if you were to call Los Angeles in the USA.

When calling from the United States to your Talk Abroad Travel phone number, callers will need to dial 011 followed by your Talk Abroad Travel cell phone number.
