This is the second time we've used Prepaidsims in Japan. Our phones are not compatible with eSims so we use a physical sim card. They are excellent value and started working as soon as we switched our... See more

Setting up was hard

Setting up was hard and I couldn’t do it until I got to my hotel. Unfortunately I had to ring the hotel for their courtesy bus so I had to get a stranger to ring for me - that wasn’t good. Apart from that it worked well.

Another satisfied customer indeed

Honestly, at first I was in doubt about IT . BUT, because the customer service was really great (thanks ti Alvin).I gave it a try and my total review was 10/10.
I am not good with technology and it became simple because I just need to take out my old sim card (which is very reassuring that I will not be charged by my own network provider) and insert the provided sim card and GO...
I dodnt order the esim bec it will be complicated to me BUT Yes, you can get either one.
Again, thanks

I placed the sim cards in our phones…

I placed the sim cards in our phones while still on our flight from Australia to New Zealand leaving them turned off.
On landing turned them on & worked straight away so i could use the maps in our phone to get hire car to where we needed to be.
Used for 3 weeks in New Zealand with no issues keeping in contact family & friends through data-based massager & calls. Even using face time with the grandkids to show them where we were.
Did lose signal a couple of times but this is normal with any phone service. 10/10

Great customer service

Great customer service. I had purchased a number of prepaid SIMs for a trip in March. Unfortunately Trump's war in the Middle East resulted in trip cancellation. The team at Prepaid SIMs was understanding and provided me with a credit for future use, without question.

Customer service

My experience is not involving any SIM card but the excellent PrepaidSims.com.au customer service.
Last year I bought a sim card online but I couldn't use it because my travel plans suddenly changed, for medical reasons.
Alvin supported me a lot, giving me all the necessary info and reassured me. I strongly recommend their services.

So happy with the service

set up was tricky and poorly designed. sim works well.

set up was a hastle, instructions were not very clear. some form of graphic, or document with the instructions would assist in making the set-up instructions easier to understand. UX design should be considered more. the sim, once working provides very fast data. overall happy.

Great customer service

My Europe trip got cancelled so I reached out to ask if the Europe esim I purchased could be exchanged for a New Zealand one for another trip in a couple months - thinking that I wouldn’t be able to do that, but just checking in case. I received a response within the same day, saying they could fulfill the exchange with no extra cost. Very happy with the customer service provided at Prepaidsims. :))

Sim Happy

I recently travelled to New Zealand with my family of 8. From the moment we arrived, inserted the 2 Sim cards in 2 phones and activated them, it was great. We travelled around the north island and had no problems at all with the coverage. I am very happy with the service from Prepaid Sims. Thank you.
