Activating Your Service:

Your Phone Number:
You will have a United Kingdom-based phone number, regardless of where you are traveling. Your phone number will be clearly marked in your Talk Abroad™'s packaging.

Checking your Call Credit:
You may check your credit at any time by dialing a 3 digit shortcut on your handset.

Making and Receiving Calls:
When you make a call, charges begin only when the other party answers the call or if it goes to voicemail. Outgoing and incoming call charges are based on 60-second intervals.

Adding Talk Time to Your SIM Card:
You can add talk time at any time - together with your purchase as well as prior to and during your trip. Simply call Cellular Abroad 24/7 on our toll free number and we will immediately add talk time for you using your account information already on file or an alternative credit card. Additional call credit is $29 for 32 minutes of talk time (for most popular destinations). Each time you add call credit or “recharge” your account, you will extend your service life for an additional 12 months from the date of the recharge. Previous call credit will accumulate to your new call credit.

Rates:
Since the Talk Abroad is an international roaming card, ALL base rates are flat rates inclusive of roaming charges. All value-added service (VAS) calls including recharge requests, balance inquiries, and calls to the voicemail system are billed per minute since the length of these calls will all vary. Call surcharges (see below) are also billed per minute in addition to the base outgoing per-minute rate, NOT per connection.
