Bruceasked
When one buys the WORLDSIM INTERNATIONAL SIM CARD then one receives two numbers with it:
UK number which is automatically the primary number and a US number:
Question 1) When one receives the SIM card and because the SIM card comes with the CLI set to the UK number, Will all calls made be charged in 2 minute increments in Europe, North America?
If one changes the CLI number to the USA number -
Question 2) Will all calls made in North America be charged in 1 minute increments?
Regards
Bruce

From what I understand and have experience the "master" number is the UK number. You can always have people call your US number (or any other virtual local number you purchase to add to your SIM.)
Now for calling while in the US (or any country) I never had to select UK or US number I just called that's all. I just tried in Europe and the number identifying me is the UK number. I have not been in the US for a long time but it is possible that in the US your US number might be the one identifying you. (Or maybe it is possible to parameter your phone to display your US "virtual" number.)
Regarding the charge, when you make a call your are charged two (2) minutes even if your call is shorter than that. Call above 2 minutes are than charged by the minute (or even by the second it seems, (again not 100% sure of that) but definitely not charged by two minutes increments after the first 2 minutes of call.
I am pretty sure that the 2-mn flat charge rule is applicable for all calls you place using your WorldSIM, whether you are in the US or anywhere else.

suekayasked
I am waiting to receive the Worldsim card I ordered online. Although I live in the UK, I will be using the phone in the US and will need a US number. When I activate the SIM card on the UK number, will I then need to activate it again when using the US number on arrival in America?
1 answer
The WorldSim card comes with a UK and US number on the same card. The UK number is the primary number. To know your US number, simply dial 160 and the number will automatically be sent to you via SMS. You just have to subscribe to a US calling bundle (+ data) according to the number of days you plan to use the same in US. Credits valid for 1 year, but bundles are normally valid for one week to a month.

Hello, Thank you for your query. Once the SIM card is registered with a partner provider your SIM card is ready or make / receive calls. To know your WorldSIM number simply dial 133, and you would receive flash message showing your number. In order to dial out dial as +COUNTRYCODE&NUMBERS. Thanks.

If I buy the device and the world sim, will I still need a cellular plan with the local carriers such as AT&T, Verizon ETC?

Hello, Thank you for your query. No, you do not require any other plan from any local providers when you have a WorldSIM card. The SIM card is unlocked, means it works in any unlocked handset. You can use the SIM as “Pay As You Go” or enjoy various packs/bundles it comes with. Thanks !

WorldSIM T.WorldSIM
Hello, Thank you for your query. I assume you want to know the recharge period of a WorldSIM phone? Well, it depends on its input current and capacity. Generally, a 2200mAh battery may take only 2-3 hours to charge, whereas a 6600mAh power bank may take 3-5 hours to charge. Thanks.

Hi, does the sim work with this tablet supplied along with it ?

Sorry, don't know, I used this card in my phone.
Hi, I used a Worldsim-chip, latest version with +447452 .....and it works here in the Netherlands, so Europe is fine. No adjustments necessary.
The tablet runs G3, but who needs more?
In may-2018 I visit Canada and check te combination Worldsim /Philco-tablet again, and use it also as hotspot. The mentioned sim worked in USA-east in
an IPhone 6 last year 2017. Advisable is to use the latest version sim as worldsim offers?
regards,

Hi, I have not used my Worldsim for more than 2 Year’s now. It’s giving me authentication problem when I try to connect. Please advise? It has a balance of more than 40usd
1 answer
Hi Sandy, my experience is that you check if your sim should be replaced by a new version as Worldsim offers.
In my case the sim of 2 years ago gave problems too,

i am going to florida and would be making local calls in usa what is the best sim card?
2 answers
In Europe I just went to a Vodafone store and bought a European card there that lasted a month. Not sure if they do the same thing in the states but worth a try. Definitely the easiest and cheapest option for me.
If you are going to be making local calls and sending local only sms, then world sim works fine.
It’s rates are better than many, not charging for calls received. I am surprised at the number of providers who charge the same rate per minute as they do for outgoing calls.
Personally, next time I will do global roaming with my Vodaphone sum and factoring the extra costs

Hi,
Thanks for your query. You can either use our data SIM card or our data routers. Both should be working fine. Please note that, you SIM card or the data router would be working as long as you have good network reception in your area. To see our coverage please visit: https://www.worldsim.com/roaming-partners
Our data SIM card supports up to 3G. Data routers are unlocked which means you can insert any unlocked SIM cards (relevant APN set up required).
I was hoping you may suggest me a router which is convenient to my needs because i don't know which one to buy !
For the sim card, i think i shall choose the world global one and i would like to know how much credits for 2 persons 1-2 hours/day during my cruise in Autumn.
Btw to avoid confusion i am from Switzerland.
Many thanks for your quick above response
