SIM Card

SIM vs. MiniSIM vs. MicroSIM – One SIM to rule them all?

Today we’re going to learn a bit about SIM cards.

Where do SIM cards come from? Should SIM cards be allowed to enter the United States? Are they taking away American Jobs? The answers is – from factories who make them, yes and no.

What is a SIM card, anyway?

The SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is a small piece of plastic with an integrated circuit that holds your cellular identity information and allows your phone to connect to the cellular network. SIM cards are a feature that exists only on GSM networks, as all other cellular methods (CDMA, TDMA and iDEN) have the identity built into the phone itself, bypassing the need for a SIM card.
For the end user, the SIM card is basically his number, allowing him to port his number among any GSM phone that will accept his SIM card (the phone must either be locked to his carrier, or be unlocked – meaning accept any SIM card).

SIM card sizes

* SIM card (aka “full SIM”) – this is the big card, which holds either the MiniSIM or the MicroSIM inside of it. The full SIM is almost never used for phones, (no modern phone is big enough to use it). You detach the MiniSIM or the MicroSIM from the full SIM and insert into your phone. Size: 3.37 in. (L) x 2.25 in. (W) x 0.029 (T)

* MiniSIM card (aka “SIM”) – this is the traditional SIM that has been around for the last decade and a half. Fits 90+% of the models currently on the market. Size : 0.98 in. (L) x 0.59 in. (W) x 0.029 (T)

 

* MicroSIM card (aka “MicroSIM”) – This is the newest type of SIM card. Mostly used by Apple since launching its iPad(1) and iPhone 4. You can turn your MiniSIM into a MicroSIM by cutting in (by using a cutter or with scissors). You can also turn your MicroSIM into a MiniSIM by buying an adapter. Size: 0.59 in. (L) x 0.47 in. (W) x 0.029 (T)

 

Locked devices

Most carriers these days sell mobile devices on top of their other cellular offerings (voice, data and additional services). These devices have a few purposes besides calls – customer loyalty and satisfaction, increasing revenue from each user by embedding the carrier’s services etc.
One way for the carrier to make sure their devices (which are often subsidized) are used only on their home network is locking. The carrier would essentially lock the phone through software/hardware means to be unable to accept any other SIM card that is not the carrier’s. For the user, this makes it harder to switch to a different carrier (as you have to buy a new device), harder to travel around the world (as are unable to use different SIM cards that might lower your costs), and make it harder to sell the device later on (as you have to sell the device to people who already use your carrier).
The obvious solution is unlocking the device. Sounds simple enough, but as carriers will not benefit from unlocking their devices, they might be unwilling to do so. Often you can be able to unlock your phone through local phone shops, though not all devices can be unlocked by external means as some devices have high-level hardware and software security to protect them against such actions.
Our advice is if you’re able to unlock your device, we suggest doing so – you never know when you might need to pop-in a different SIM card.

Prepaid SIM cards – your safety net against roaming fees

Roaming rates

As you probably know by now, international roaming fees can unleash a minor hurricane upon your finances. And like with any storm, you need protection.
Some people begin hunting for WiFi hotspots, like some invaluable pre-historic artifacts (wasting precious vacation time in the process). Others might completely turn off their phone’s radio communications (crippling their own phones. Intentionally). But others go the smart way – they buy a local SIM card from a local carrier. Because as any experienced traveler will attest, using the local carriers is the best solution for your overseas internet needs.

So what are prepaid SIM cards, anyway? Prepaid SIM cards are regular SIMs loaded with a certain amount of usage; they can have X amount of minutes and/or Y amount of text messages and/or Z amount of internet data. You use these services until they run out, once they’ve run out you will need to contact the carrier and ask to top-up, or will need to buy a new SIM card.
This is in contrast with postpaid SIM cards which charge you after you’ve used the carrier’s network. So the difference lies in the following logic – with prepaid SIM cards you know exactly how much you will be charged and thus control your expenses, while with postpaid SIM cards you have to control your usage to know exactly how much you’ll pay. When you’re traveling overseas and expenses pile up with a staggering rate (hotels, taxis, restaurants, attractions etc.) it’s nice to know that you can control your communication expenses and avoid cellular roaming charges.

Though prepaid SIM cards are the most logical and economical solution, they can be difficult to attain – to use local prepaid SIM cards you have to work quite a bit.

You need to make sure your phone is unlocked. You need to locate a local prepaid SIM card that meets your criteria (for example, 2 Israeli carriers sell prepaid SIM cards, they both offer the same package, but one costs 2X than the other – how/where will you be able to compare before buying?). You will need to change your phone’s APN settings to make sure you can use use the internet (some SIM cards will do it automatically, other won’t). Most SIM cards do not offer an extension period for your balance, so you might have to go out again and look for a place that sells SIM cards. If you encounter a service problem, you’ll usually have to deal with people who might not speak English very well (or at all), this can be problematic if you need to call the company’s customer support.

Luckily for the globetrotting community, iPhoneTrip is able to provide international prepaid SIM cards with either a 1Gb, or an unlimited plan. iPhoneTrip save you the hassle of going out and searching for a prepaid SIM card, by delivering it to your doorstep a few days before your travel date. So you don’t have to waste precious vacation time by walking a foreign city and searching for that one SIM card that will connect you to the Internet. iPhoneTrip also provides 24/7 English speaking support and the ability to extend your rental period and data allowance with a single call to our trained support team.
iPhoneTrip provides you with all the benefits of a local prepaid SIM card, with out the hassle that comes with it.

With your time abroad being limited by so many factors (costs, limited vacation days etc.), iPhoneTrip saves you time and money by providing with the best technological and logistical solution to your roaming data needs.

Roaming fees – there shall be no bottom for this pit

The-New-Cell-Phone-Cash

In a utopian world, we’d all have ability to talk, text and use the web for free – anywhere around the world. But in the real world, we don’t have such luxuries. Cellular networks are often expensive at home, and outrageous roaming prices are a fact of life for travelers.

We, at iPhoneTrip, have made it our business to allow people to communicate much easier and less expensively than ever before. Today iPhoneTrip is able to cover more countries than any other roaming solutions provider. Essentially, if you want to go someplace (where humanity exists, naturally)- we will have you covered.

But as most people continue to rely on their home carrier to provide them with connectivity while being abroad, we decided to compile a list of the major 4 cellular providers in the US. And just to compare – 2 of the biggest carriers in Europe.

AT&T

T-Mobile (US)

Sprint

Verizon

Vodafone (Germany)

Telefonica (Spain)
Data cost in $

$0.0195 /KB

$0.014 /KB

$0.019 /KB

$0.020 /KB

$0.026 /KB

$0.012 /KB

So what do all these number mean?
If we rely on some figures published by UTexas (to help their students better utilize their weekly bandwidth allowance), we can see how it will affect your expenses while going abroad.

Send 1 plain text email via Gmail – 200 kb. = $3.6
Talk via Skype for 1 min. – 1024 kb. = $18.43
Upload 1 photo taken by iPhone 4  - 2048 kb. = $36.86
Video chat via Skype for 1 min. – 2048 kb. = $36.86
Watch a 3 min. YouTube clip – 3000 kb = $55.29
(Just for kicks) Stream a 2 hour movie via Netflix – 2,048,000 kb. = $36,864

 

Let’s assume you and your significant other, went on a 7 day holiday to France. You guys uploaded 5 photos a day, sent about 5 emails per day, watched 1 YouTube clip a day and called your friends and family back home via Skype for about 20 minutes per day (because you knew better than to use the Hotel’s phone).

How much will that cost you if you use your own carrier? $4374.72

Now you’d think that with these kind of figures, no one would be reckless enough to use their phone abroad (or at least be aware of what they’re doing). But this, this and this cases suggest otherwise.

So what do you do? It’s actually not that hard, do some quick research:
• Call your carrier and inquire about getting an overseas data plab. That can bring about some savings.
• Use WiFi networks. Though the good ones cost about $5 per hour. And hotels might charge you upwards of $20 per day for the privilege.
• Get a local SIM card when you go abroad. It’s cheap, but that has it’s own risks-  Is your phone unlocked? How much do you really trust a foreign phoneshop with your credit card details? Did you understand what signed up for?

We, at iPhoneTrip, believed that there is a better solution out there.
But back in reality, there wasn’t one available at all.
So we had to make one, from the ground up. And today we think we have a real solution for the modern day traveler – one that is affordable, reliable and most importantly: mobile.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So next time you go overseas, and you simply want to enjoy the trip without having to stay put for one place to use the web. Or if want a reliable service with 24/7 English support. Or have to worry about enormous bills flooding your mailbox.
If you simply want to use your own phone, like you are used to back home – iPhoneTrip has a smart solution for you. One that has all the benefits of using your own carrier, but without the fear of filing chapter 7 by the end of your trip.

How to set your iPhone for International Travel

iPhone travel

Venturing out, oui?!

Going abroad to see foreign lands, si?!

Taking your iPhone with you, ja?!

Here is the basic premise you will need to adopt, if you want to return home without worrying about nasty surprises in the mail – You can not use your phone abroad the same way you use it at home. Doing so will result in some serious bill shock- as this, this and this cases might suggest.

The act of using your phone with a different carrier than your own, without changing the SIM card (the identity card that connects your phone to your home carrier), is called “Roaming”.
Roaming can be extremely expensive if you are not prepared for it. But don’t worry- with a few simple tips you will be able to “tame the beast” and enjoy your travel without worrying about giving up Starbucks for the rest of your life (just to pay that enormous cell bill you received when you took your iPhone with you to Italy).

Firstly, check with your home carrier before your flight if they have any overseas data and/or voice plans for your destination. That alone can save you a pretty penny.

Secondly, after boarding the plane you will be instructed to completely turn off your phone. You can do this, but using “Airplane mode” is a better solution if you want to use the non-communication features of your phone (music, books, videos, etc.).

Thirdly, when you land – how do you make sure you don’t make any expensive calls? you have a few options – the most extreme one is to make sure no call or text message is sent or received: turn “Airplane mode” on and your phone will not be able to communicate at all (you can still use Wifi, however). The second option is to turn “Data roaming” off – go to “Settings”-> “General” -> “Network” -> “Data Roaming” off, this will turn off any data communication your phone is able to make via mobile internet on your host carrier.

So now you are set – your phone is unable to use the web, and maybe even unable to make call and send texts. But… do you really want that? Do you really want to deprive yourself from being able to use the power of the web when you are overseas? Think of all the valuable information that is out there aimed at travelers just like yourself.
Rest at ease, we at iPhoneTrip got you covered – we offer 1Gb and unlimited data plans starting at only $6.99/day giving you the ability to use the web, without worrying about giving up Starbucks for the rest of your life.

 

iPhone Tips and Tricks – Choosing iPhone applications for making travel easier

Travel apps

These days, smartphones fulfill a very important role in our lives. Once a person experiences the possibilities that a smart device offers its user, that person will never go back to using a “dumbphone”. The reason is obvious: smartphones are extremely helpful in our everyday life. We need them all the time – to read emails, take photos, check the weather, browse the web, to play, to listen, to record everything around, to memorize… and sometimes even to call!

For the majority of smartphone users, this small handset became an essential helper in performing everyday routine tasks. But the true significance of this device can be really appreciated abroad. Suddenly, when you are overseas, knowing where to go and where to stay becomes crucial; and your loyal assistant is there to help you anytime, anywhere. Traveling abroad with a smartphone is a fun and pleasurable experience. But as Einstein put it, “Genius is 1% talent and 99% percent hard work” – so if you want your iPhone to deliver brilliance in foreign lands, you will need to make a few preparation. Choosing the right applications is very important and will enhance your travel experience.
But how do you choose the right applications that will suit your travel needs? The iPhone, for example, has over 500,000 applications(!), so how do you choose the only few that will suit your needs the most?
There is no precise answer. However, based on my experience I can give you several tips on how to build the correct kit that will help you abroad the most.
I am dividing my recommendations into 4 categories – transportation, communication, adaptation, and entertainment.

1. Transportation:

If you are traveling, then you are on the move; and if you are on the move, then you use public transportation. Consider before your trip what kind of transportation you will be using.
• In big cities like London you will probably use the underground – so do not forget to download a subway map and locator app.
• If you want to take a taxi don’t forget an application that finds the nearest cab service for you (and simultaneously checks the prices – that’s a common practice in the word to overcharge tourists).
• Install a train schedule app – they are usually very precise.
• Don’t forget about your flights (especially back home) – there are a variety of programs with live departure feeds.
• Check for location based applications that will assist you in finding transportation stations and stops in your area.
As a tourist you will use various types of transportation – being prepared can save you a lot of time, money and hassle!

 

2. Communication:
You’ll probably want to stay in touch with your loved ones (or your boss), so don’t forget about communication.
• First of all, download Wi-Fi Finder. Hotels usually charge outrageously high rates for their internet usage, so find free Wi-Fi zones and browse the net there.
• Check if your default e-mail application really suits your needs – there are a variety of e-mail solutions for any mobile phone.
• Install VoIP communicators. We recommend Skype or Viber – they are free, allow texting, and will save you a lot of money on long distance calls!
• Social networking – you probably would like the world to know how much fun you are having, and of course you want to share the most recent photos with your friends. Pre-install Facebook, Twitter, FourSquare and make them all envious (and don’t forget using the location features to check-in to show them in real time where you are).
Think about information you may need abroad. There are different types of apps that provide solutions to these needs. For example, you can connect your home computer’s hard disk (using Folders app) and download files to your iPhone, or you can check your bank account and stocks while abroad (be careful not to use unlocked WiFi hotspots when entering private and confidential information). Check out iStore to get ideas.

 

3. Adaptation:
When you travel you will want to feel at home even while if you are far away from home. There are many useful applications to help you accomplish this.

• Be prepared. In some countries the weather is unpredictable, so check out weather prediction applications.
• Overcome the language barrier by installing a dictionary and a translator. Look for applications with audio pronunciation. If you are on a business trip, check out dictionaries with professional language vocabularies for your field.
• Currency and unit converters are highly recommended. Be aware that you exchange your dollars for a fair rate. Know the temperature in Fahrenheit. Drive carefully while considering that your speedometer is in kilometers per hour. Remember that same numbers can mean different things while abroad.
• Local Holidays Calendar – you will be surprised how many holidays you can find in one country. Use this application before your trip, but also take it with you – you will probably discover additional important dates.
• Install as many travel guide apps as you can – city sightseeing guides, cultural recommendations, audio travel directories, and local gems finders. You can never have too many travel guide apps.
• Download location based applications to help you with your tourist routine – like finding places to eat or sleep. These applications are vital to prevent a disorganized vacation. When looking for such locations using this software, check if you can find online reviews. Knowing what locals think about a restaurant or a hotel will steer into the best places your vacation place has to offer.
Think of what problems you may bump into. Look for applications that will help you find solutions to these difficulties.

 

 

4. Entertainment:
While abroad you may spend a lot of time in trains, cars, planes, lines and more. Instead of considering this time as wasted you can download applications that will help you spend this time more pleasurably.
• Download your favorite movies and music before your travel. Don’t think that you will be watching on-line content, because usually you won’t have good internet connection while on the go.
• Download games. There are games for all ages and genders, and there are never enough.
• Upload your favorite books onto your iPhone and read them anywhere in the world.
• Install radio applications. You will be able to listen to your favorite channels almost everywhere.
There are a lot of different applications that can make your “useless” time more entertaining. If you’re going to travel with an iPhone, browsing “games” and “entertainment” directories in  Apps Store is highly recommended.

 

We at iPhoneTrip provide our customers with local and global data SIM cards, smartphones and internet devices (like MiFi or modems) for their destination country before they travel. In doing this we allow our customers to avoid expensive 3G roaming fees from their carrier and enjoy unlimited internet everywhere. Contact us to benefit your smartphone to the full !

And don’t forget to take a charger with you!

iPhone Tips and Tricks – How to change your network carrier when traveling

Nov 20th, 2011
by admin.
2 comments

Traveling abroad and want to switch to a larger carrier with a bigger coverage? Or maybe one with a faster data network?

Here is a quick how-to guide for making that happen:

How to manually change the network carrier on your iPhone?

Go to settings -> carrier -> (wait for the phone to find the networks – appx. 2 minutes) select the network you want to use.

 

Once you select a network, your iPhone will only use that network.

For iPhoneTrip users the carrier selection option also exists. Since we have agreements with most major networks (but not all) , it is best you leave your settings on Automatic, as “forcing” a new carrier selection on our SIM cards might switch you to a network which iPhoneTrip has no agreement with – as a result you might get the “No Service” message.

Remember, when you’re using iPhoneTrip SIM cards  – set your Network Settings to Automatic.

Troubleshooting International 3G SIM cards – top 7 most frequent problems

No SIM

Here at iPhoneTrip HQ, we serve the needs of all kinds of globetrotters – the business type, the leisure type, the government type, the NGO type etc. One thing they all have in common is they all have web ready devices; be it an iPhone, iPad, Android, Symbian etc.

One more thing they all have in common is that once in a blue moon, they might encounter an issue with the network or their phone. Though every iPhoneTrip customer has access to 24/7 English speaking support and technical service, we assembled the 7 most frequent errors, and the way to solve them.

 

 

1. ”I’m getting good reception and I see the carrier name, but there is no 3G or Edge sign next to carrier name” -  That’s an easy one, you have data services turned off. Simply go to your settings menu and switch data services on. Easy as pie!

 

 

 

 

 

2. “I am not getting a carrier name and very low/no reception bar” - We all get to go places with little or no reception; an elevator, a  nature reserve, an underground parking garage, a secret UFO holding facility- you know, the usual :-) . The solution is always simple, change your location and restart your phone.

But this is not the kind of issue we’re talking about here. This can happen in downtown London or at the Ginza district in Tokyo- places where you know you should have full reception.

The reason for this problem is that your phone is locked for use with external SIM cards, meaning any SIM card that does not belong  to your native carrier, will not work. “So what do I do?” – You’ll need to contact your carrier to unlock your device. Another option is to Google “how to jailbreak and unlock my smartphone” for a carrier-free solution.

To check if your smartphone is indeed locked, borrow a SIM card from a friend and try to use it in your phone. If the SIM card carrier differs from your original carrier, but still works with your device, then your phone is unlocked.

*If you are unable to unlock your device, you can still travel with it – just rent a MiFi device from iPhoneTrip and create a 3G wireless mobile hotspot which supports up to 5 WiFi enabled devices.

 

3. “I have the iPhoneTrip SIM card installed but I am getting the ‘No service’ message” - We remotely activate your rented SIM card at 12:01 AM of your Activation Date. If this date has passed and you are still having “No Service” message, then please contact iPhoneTrip support team at support at iphonetrip.com, and we will activate your SIM card immediately.

 

 

 

4. “I have the SIM card installed, but my phone is  giving me the ‘No SIM card installed’ message” -    Though we make every effort to make sure we are supplied with working and functional SIM cards, very rarely you might get a defective SIM card. But do not worry, just give us a call or send us an email and we will ship you a new replacement SIM card ASAP.

 

 

 

 

5. “I’m trying to go online but I’m getting the following message: ‘Could not activate cellular data network. You are not subscribed to a cellular data service’.” – If you are trying to go online and getting the message, that means your APN (Access Point Name) is not set. You will need to set your APN parameters according to the SIM that iPhoneTrip sent you.

To change the APN settings on Apple devices, open the following site on your iPad or iPhone Safari Browser: m.apnchanger.org (requires > Wi-Fi internet connection)

• Click “Automatically”
• Select the desired carrier from the drop-down menu. For iPhoneTrip SIM cards select the carrier that corresponds tot he SIM you received from iPhoneTrip. For example, for global 3G SIM cards select “World – iPhoneTrip” (default carrier).
• Click on “Install Profile” and install it on your iPad or iPhone device

For other smartphones and modems – please change the APN settings manually. Go to wiki.apnchanger.org, pick the desired country and change the APN settings as provided on site.

 

 

6. ”I see a small cirlcle instead of the 3G sign, what can I do?” (Apple devices only) –  The area you are in does not have 3G coverage, your phone has automatically switched to EDGE or GPRS networks.

Though 3G and 3.5G coverage is pretty widespread, some areas are still using the old 2.5G (GPRS) and 2.75G (EDGE) networks – in these places your phone will automatically ”downgrade”. But don’t worry, as soon as it picks up a 3G network, it will always switch back.

 

 

7. “I’m getting the following message: ‘Restricted Network / Network Unavailable ‘ message. Anything I can do about it?” - 

Sure you can, what you need to do is connect to the correct network and “refresh” your phone’s connection to it, here is how you do this:

1 – Go to your network settings menu and switch carrier selection to “Automatic”.

2 - Turn off your phone and remove your SIM card for 3 minutes. If you have a non Apple device, please remove the battery instead.

3 – Install the SIM card back to it’s slot.

4 – Turn your phone back on.

 

Before trying to resolve any of these issues, always remember to restart your device. You might be experiencing a temporary failure that can be solved within seconds.

 

We all know that travel can occasionally be a stressful experience, and things don’t always go according to plan – if you are having trouble with your internet connection while going abroad, you can always rely on our 24/7 English support and technical service at 1-800-355-1118, or support at iphonetrip.com . Nevertheless, it is still nice to know that for some of the problems you might encounter, you can be your very own go-to guy/gal.

 

and… Enjoy 3Ging :)
