For network or service issues:

  • Call customer service from either your cell phone or a landline at 0840 48 00 00.

For hardware issues:

  • Please contact Cellular Abroad at +310-862-7100 (8am to 8pm EST, 7 days a week, English speaking reps) or via email at support@cellularabroad.com.

Service Life:
The SIM card service will be blocked if it is inactive for longer than 12 months.  For 6 months after the 12 month mark you can reactivate your SIM by calling customer service.

To inquire about the possibility of extending your SIM card’s service life while outside the SIM card’s country of origin, contact the telecom provider's customer service, Cellular Abroad does not provide support for this feature.

Multi-Country Travel
You can also purchase other SIM cards as well for other countries to where you may be traveling. (This option is good for those planning on doing a lot of local calling.) We also offer an international roaming National Geographic Talk Abroad™ SIM Card that is convenient for travel to multiple countries. (This option is useful for those wanting a single number for use in multiple countries and who will be making more calls back home than locally.)
