Orange Holiday Worldwide Prepaid SIM Card Combo Deal Official Authorized Internet Data in 4G/LTE (Data tethering Allowed) + 1 Sim Card Holder + 1 Pin (Asia America Europe)

This review is for the 12GB physical SIM card used in an older unlocked, dual SIM, 4G-only phone. The reviews for this card are all over the place, but I took a chance and bought one for a trip to Germany. Surprise, it worked right out of the package with nothing else required on my part. Another big surprise was that I discovered my phone is actually capable of Wi-Fi calling because the option magically appeared in my SIM management menus. I later learned that my phone is "only partially compatible" with my current provider in the US and doesn't allow for Wi-Fi calling. Go figure; took me 4 years to figure that out. 12GB is actually a lot of mobile data; I doubt I even used half of that in two weeks. Speeds were fine when the signal was good. The quirks and annoyances referenced in the title are the following: I was suprised to see the signal connecting to all 3 of the big carriers in Germany (Telekom, Vodaphone, O2) and it jumped around constantly to I guess whichever tower had the strongest signal. You will get a lot of calls from France; some to remind you to register the card (not needed if less than 14 days) and others just garbage from a recycled phone number. You have to dial correctly since you are roaming with a French phone number; basically dialing international long distance wherever you're calling. Also, no MMS is allowed. I know everyone uses apps, but I'm a geezer and like attaching a photo to a short message. For me at least, then, the card worked out great and saved me a ridiculous amount in roaming fees.

NOT FUNCTIONAL AT ALL - We bought this GSM sim card to use with a Nokia 6300 while travelling in Morocco and Spain (Andalucia) so we could use our Verizon CDMA iphones. It didn't work at all in Morocco, couldn't even send a whatsapp msg from the nokia. In Spain we could only send whatsapp messages from the nokia phone itself, this was only after reaching Malaga where there are Orange networks, didn't work on Movistar networks further south. The data tethering only worked in Spain and it was so slow we could only send whatsapp msgs from our iphones. We couldn't even open a speed test page on our iphones, that's how slow it was. The network speed was too slow to use on the nokia bar phone itself to even do simple google search. We were not able to make phone calls in Spain, even though it includes 200 minutes within Europe. The data tethering FAQ is straightforward, but didn't help actual service functionality. It would be much cheaper and easier to buy a cheap GSM smartphone and a sim from a local Morocco carrier vs using this for a hotspot dumbphone.

This was the best thing I bought before we left for Europe!! Our U.S. cell provider does not offer any type of cellular service option for traveling in Europe. So, I had been considering a burner phone when I discovered this Orange European SIM card. It was the perfect solution. This SIM card will only work in an unlocked phone, in Europe. Because my husband and I both own our iPhones, we did the following BEFORE we left for Europe: (1.) had his iPhone unlocked, (2.) turned on his Roaming (3.) turned on his Personal Hot Spot, and (4.) opened the Orange SIM card package only for the purpose of writing down the new unique European phone number associated with this SIM card. We did NOT install the Orange SIM card until we were in Europe. Then we powered his phone off until we landed in France. Once we landed, we installed the Orange SIM card and carefully placed his original SIM in the package for reuse when we returned to the U.S. In France, we powered up his phone and “Voila” - it literally worked immediately. Because Personal Hotspot was turned on, I could tether my phone to his and all of my services (cellular, text, WiFi, apps) worked as long as I was in close proximity to his phone. This allowed us to use my phone for SIRI and Maps for walking or driving directions in Spain, France and Italy. It was just like being at home with SIRI telling us where to turn and how far to walk to reach any of the iconic destinations or addresses we wanted. It literally would not have been possible to do everything without this SIM card. Orange SIM service is available for 14 days without registering or buying any additional cellular service. After 14 days, if you’re still in Europe, you will need to buy Orange cellular service, which can be done for small intervals of time. When we left Europe, we powered off his iPhone. When we landed in the U.S., we installed his original SIM and everything is working perfectly again on our regular cell service. The Orange SIM card was the EXACT solution I needed in advance for peace of mind, and absolutely invaluable for SIRI’s information. Highly, highly recommend!!! I never needed their tech support, so I have no experience with that aspect. However, we did see a lot of Orange cellular stores all over Europe, so I imagine they would have helped us, if it had been needed.

I bought the Orange with much trepidation, but it worked great. I have a Samsung A53 so had to buy a SIM card. I bought the 30 GB which was way more than I needed for 14 days. I used mapping constantly. Checked my email and played games a few times every day. We traveled to Portugal, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Poland, Austria, Slovakia, and I had good service in every country. The worse part is its only good for 14 days, but adding more time was easy. With the renewal I chose a smaller package and still didn't use all the allowed data. I will be choosing Orange again for my next trip!

I loved this e-sim card, once I got it working. It worked flawlessly through 6 european countries. Basically it was a lifesaver. Installation was easy but my only issue was at the beginning I had one of my data roaming settings wrong. I did have internet at the time in the evenings and when I went to access tech support I explained my situation and got a quick computer generated reply saying they would get back to me within 24 hours. When they did contact me they did not offer a suggestion, like is your data roaming on or off, no they wanted to know all of the technical data associated with the card, like the Serial number and Sim card number and phone numberwhich I did not have at my disposal. I evenluually figured it our on my own as I didn't have days to back and forth with them. So basically they have a great product and sloppy tech support.

Compré esta SIM el año pasado durante una estancia en Portugal, haciendo escala antes en España. Desde el momento en que llegué a España puse la SIM en mi celular y jaló re bien! Inmediatamente tuve conexión de datos y con eso me pude mover en las calles. Lo único que hice fue activar el roaming (Android) y ya, no configuré nada más. En Portugal también tuve conexión todo el tiempo en la calle, nunca tuve ningún inconveniente. Estuve allá 10 días en total y me alcanzó perfecto la cantidad de datos que da la SIM, ni me los terminé. La recomiendo!

Todo muy bien

Funciona perfectamente, se conecta de inmediato, usado en Europa y Medio Oriente.

Al final no he podido utilizarla porque debido a un accidente, he anulado el viaje previsto, la he pasado a un amigo y le ha funcionado sin problemas en Canadá.
