Handset Compatibility

TravelSIM is designed to work with all mobile phone handsets, very few mobile phone handsets will not work with TravelSIM at all.

  • Check this list for Incompatible Handsets
  • TravelSIM works with almost all handsets as expected however certain handsets may require a simple setting change to the SIM card setting (not handset) that can be made from the handset.
  • A small number of handsets or older style phones (5 years +) may require a different dialling method (an override code) when making calls with TravelSIM.
