The SWISSCOM SIM has been discontinued but we offer many other SIM cards that offer much lower rates and work in many of the same countries. If you do not see the country that you are traveling to listed on one of our other Global SIM Cards please call us for additional suggestions.
Our most popular SIMs are listed above but many former Swisscom customers have found the Travel International SIM which offers coverage in some countries that the others do not to be extremely useful. For more information on the Travel International SIM please Click Here.

Card
The only prepaid cellular
service that works in over 130 different countries!
Our most popular Prepaid
Worldwide SIM card is the Swisscom (also sold as Mint) international
roaming sim. As the largest carrier in Switzerland, Swisscom has been
able to negiotiate more roaming agreements than any other
carrier.
The Swisscom SIM allows you to
make outgoing calls in more than one hundred countries and receive
incoming calls in over one hundred and twenty five countries - all
from one phone and one number. With this package you can now easily
make calls in most countries around the world without the hassle of a
contract and without special access numbers to remember.
You are not required to have
AT&T, Verizon, Cingular, Voice Stream, T-Mobile, Sprint or any
cellular service contract to use this World Phone SIM.
Additional minutes will be
applied to the same cellular phone number so you will always be able
to have the same international cellular phone number.

Costs to make a phone
call:
Calls will be approximately $.90/$1.80 minute in/out for most
countries (Including Turkey). The exceptions are listed below, but
the way the costs work out this way is:
One unit = 9.0¢
Incoming = 10 units (90¢)
Outgoing = 20 units ($1.80)
Some carriers (outside of Europe, in Europe only the Ukraine has
additional charges) reserve the right to charge additional fees on
top of the above rates. Any additional fees will automatically deduct
from your unit balance. For more information on the
countries/carriers that charge more please call (800) 872-7626
x110.
Placing a call using
the Swisscom SIM:
Placing calls is slightly different using the Swisscom System. For
all outgoing calls you will dial *111* and the country code, number,
press #, and then send.
(You will need to put a # at the end every time you execute a
command.)
The phone call will go through in a couple of seconds. Instead of
putting the phone to your ear immediately, you would wait about two
seconds, and the phone will ring, alerting you to pick up the phone
and speak to whomever you are calling. Answer the phone and you will
hear your call going through.
Just dial
* 1 1 1 * then country code, city code, the phone number (country
code is 1 for US), press # and finally the send key to dial any
number.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In These few seconds Swisscom calls you back instead of you
waiting on the line to turn a call from the US, to a call that looks
like it is coming from a different location.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Checking your
balance:
You will hear your balance
whenever you make a phone call, but there may be occasions where you
would like to find out your balance without having to make a call. It
is important for you to frequently check your balance, so that you
will know as far in advance is possible when you need to add more
time. Also, after re-loading your phone you will want to make sure
that the credit was added.
To do a free Balance Check on
your SIM card:
Dial * 1 4 7 *, then
press # and then the Send or Yes key.
{There must be a # at
the end of every line entered}
Voice-mail
Instructions:
This voice-mail is a call divert-style voice-mail meaning that
calls will either go to your phone or voice-mail box. It will not
ring a certain number of times and rollover to your voice-mail like
on other phones.
This is necessary to make sure that you will receive incoming
calls. You may have already noticed that it can take several rings
for your call to go through, and there are problems with many US
international products that forward to voicemail even when the call
could have gone through to the phone.
On most phones you can program the *xxx* commands (*121* commands
for your voice-mail) into your phone book. The *121*33# number incurs
airtime and works just like any other outbound call on this
system.
Voice-mail
Commands:
Creating (*121*99#) used only once do not program this one into
your phone. Note when you initally create the Voice-mail box you can
hang up after the message "Combox Installation in Progress"
shows up on your display. Wait a few minutes before dialing
*121*33# to finish setting up your voice-mail box.
Note: There is no voice-mail pin. If you dial *121*33# from your
phone you will automatically be in your voice-mail box and you will
be able to check your messages or record new greetings. You can
protect your voice-mail from unauthorized use by enabling the four
digit pin option on your phone.
