How to use:
Do I need to register to activate my Sim4crew?
No. Your Sim4crew is already pre-registered which means you can start making calls or surfing the internet right away.
Do Sim4crew SIM cards expire?
Sim4crew SIM cards will expire within 18 months if no data bundles or top-up packages are added.
Does Sim4crew work in the middle of the sea?
Sim4crew SIMs need to receive a signal from a partner telecom operator to work. If you are close to land, you might still be able to connect. If you are very far from land, such as the middle of the ocean, Sim4crew will not work.
How do I apply top up / data-only package vouchers?
You can apply your voucher on www.sim4crew.com via Apply Top up / Data Voucher section or you can enter the voucher on your phone's dial pad ending with the pound key (#) and press dial. The top up or the data-only package will be active in a few seconds.
What kind of top ups are available?
Sim4crew Classic can be topped up with regular pay-as-you-go credits for voice, SMS & data or data-only packages. Sim4crew Data Hungry can be topped up with data packages only.
Do my top ups expire?
Pay-as-you-go top ups can be used for up to 2 years after being loaded into your SIM. Data packages validity will vary according to the chosen bundle and can last for the validity period or until the data is used up.
Can I add multiple data packages at the same time?
Only one data package can be active and available at any given time. Adding a new data package will terminate the previous data package on your SIM.
Pre-loaded data packages terminated due to data package override are not refundable.
Can I have an active data package and active pay-as-you-go credits at the same time?
Yes. A user can have a data package and pay-as-you-go credits at the same time. If you are in a package zone, your data package will be deducted for your internet usage. If you are in a non-package zone, your pay-as-you-go credits will be deducted for internet usage.
