International Sim Card

[CaLViN]

Hello fellows,
I am looking for a sim card which i can use internationally to receive calls and smss.
Receiving call and sms free is a must.
Do you know any services which we can order and fill up online ?
Regards.

hi i know this site but i don't try them Sim Card Global | International SIM cards | Prepaid GSM

You should try World Sim. They have been around for over a decade and are well regarded.

International Roaming SIM Cards, Mobile Wifi & Travel Accessories - WorldSIM

Also check out SurfRoam, the rates are very reasonable and works worldwide, but it's for data and SMS only. I know you asked for calls but this could be used in conjunction with some other solution.

Look at Lebara, Telestial Cyprus and giffgaff they have all been mentioned on this forum before

I believe there is a better solution to this question, but it is quite technically involved.
It requires knowledge and implementation of VOIP/SIP technology.
So basically you can use any country's local/landline number , which is very nice for your clients , and this number routes through the internet to your SIP account which could be (any number of) any thing with an IP address; physical phone on your desk, softphone app on your mobile, etc.

You can have a very nice coverage and availability on many different numbers all converging in your pocket smartphone. Dialing out using the same called ID should also be possible. With this setup the cost of calls should be way cheaper than anything else on the planet.

OP did you try GiffGaff or similar services?

I have ordered a new sim from WorldSim.
It works properly.
I am able to receive calls and SMSs for FREE.
You are able to use multiple numbers on a single sim.

That seems like a super service!

Great, thanks for your feedback. Would you think this is better compared to go to the local store and just buy some prepaid SIM cards in cash?

 

[CaLViN]

Well,
I needed a UK any other country number in EU.
You are simply able to get a number from any country just by 2-3 clicks on their control panel and the number is defined to your SIM card.
This is really perfect in my case.


People who need numbers from other countries may use those services.
Free incoming sms and call is great when using them on verification cases.

I got one US number from Worldtravelsim.com and all is right except for one detail. I cannot receive messages/calls from US Paypal unless my phone is connected to a US carrier. I'm living in Western Europe right now so that will not be possible for now. Does someone know how can I get those messages or calls via website or similar?

 

[isp00rt]

Is there any service allowing my current US number to accept sms from US carriers BUT offering online access from the internet?

Never heard of it before. I'll take a look at it, thank you.

Do that, it is worth to have a look in the https://www.offshorecorptalk.com/resources/ of the mentor group for similar services and much others. Anyway, DingTone works great with your smartphone and get you covered for almost all needs including setting up PayPal Stealth accounts.

I can confirm DingTone does not work in Europe with US carriers, so it is not a solution for me. Their support team confirmed that their service uses local carriers in the country the phone is right now. In my case, I need a way to get a US carrier in Europe so that will never happen.

What about a service collecting my SMS from a US carrier on a site connected to the internet? That would be great. Is there something like that in the market?

 

[JohnLocke]

You want to try this service Account login I'm not sure if they have US phone numbers but please check the site. I just posted this in a hurry so no time to check what they offer right now.

 

[isp00rt]

I knew them. The problem is that I cannot pay € 80.00 per week.

 

[sonato]

they are expensive but they are good.
