Keep your money in your pocket.
Bought credit for WorldSim card and a World Data card earlier this year, specifically for when I travel on occasion between Portugal-Spain-UK.
Fine for a while. My phone is switched off 99% of the rest of the time. (I have another for local use)
Just noticed that my balance on the telephone account was reduced to 0.90c from approx. $20.
Contacted W/S and told my Data Roaming was switched on (Though the phone is not switched on)
Turned it off and yet more money deducted that same night! (0.70c now left)
This morning tried to access my account to...Read more

Defective WorldSIM Duet - Android & iPhone Dual SIM Adapter?
Ticket: CAS-224327-G9Q4P0
Received adapter in the mail within the stated delivery period. Was really looking forward until i tried to set it up. Despite calling help desk and after multiple follow up emails (no reply until i threaten to bring this matter via this feedback), i am still stuck with what seems like a defective product, unable to receive or make calls. There are many alternative products but i chose WorldSim because I thought I could rely on a BRAND but I have mistaken. On hindsight, i should have chosen a cheaper alternative. Personal opinion is to avoid this product - there is obvious reason why it is on offer! I requested for a refund and it was silence since...

Bad service
The shipping process took about 3 weeks.
When I arrived in Canada, the network wasn't available and it was told me the problem would be fixed in 12/24 hours.
The next day, Sunday, no service again. In the chat they told me the service would probably be able by Monday, so another 24 hours late. I complained that I wouldn't buy again from them and ask for my money back and they didn't even bother to answer. Bad client service.
After writing the review, they sent me an e-mail and I was refunded. But I had to write first a negative review before they answer me properly.

Quality Service at a resonable Price
WORLLDSIM service has been outstanding as I travel the world. It provides all the connectivity one could use at reasonable prices. It is much more economical than a monthly subscription if you are not a heavy cellular user. Well worth the price to use during your travels.
Customer support by Chat or e mail is extremely fast. Ken

Frustrating Customer Support
I received the following error message after purchasing a bundle;
"Your order has been placed, But we are sorry there is an error processing your order. If you do not receive order confirmation email within 24 Hours.
Please contact our Customer Service team and mentioned your this reference number:200083296
We will process your order. Thank You!"
In almost 48hrs there has been no response to emails besides auto response. The bundle I purchased has not been activated. Chat gave no concrete feedback.
Needed this service for a 4-day trip and not getting a resolution in three days is pretty frustrating.

No confirmation, no messages, I was left clueless about the transaction. Thank fully I paid through Paypal so could see they've taken my payment. 3 calls later, plus a useless 'chat', nothing!! I paid extra for tracked postage and have no idea whether the purchase has even been processed by them let alone if it has been sent.

Pointless!! Just stick to your own country's service.
Short story: This company works on a complete farce.
Long story: Switched to this before undertaking a year trip away (South East Asia, New Zealand, South America). Hadn't heard of the service before so really thought I would get the most of it while travelling extensively.
The prices of the bundles are high but thought may be worth it. Although I should have realised early on that this wasn't going to work out when I paid extra for next day delivery and it hadn't arrived until 1 fortnight later. With very little customer care support.

ata they charge you daily is at the most expensive rates. I topped up my sim twice, maybe three times after receiving it 2 weeks before leaving country of origin (Ireland). Was still left with no credit. Thought, It will get better once I move away, but oh how this has not been the case. Have not been able to receive any texts or phonecalls whatsoever - even free messages to sign on to public WiFi which my boyfriend has been able to get seamlessly using an Irish network company and 0 credit. Want to top up online and the prices of bundles have doubled. Have contacted the company in their annoying chatbox that nags you about discounts and they have just ended the conversation flatly with no response each time. Not what is advertised, Recommend to avoid at all costs!Purchased in February 2021 for $27.00.

World SIM Dual Bluetooth Adapter. False Advertising. Web Page says it Supports SMS, support says it does not.Audio Prob.
I bought the World SIM so that I could send and receive SMS and make calls using my US SIM while traveling Europe. Phone is a Galaxy S8. SMS does not work. Chatted WorldSIM and they say SMS is not supported (contradicting their own web page).
Also, when I tried making calls using the adapter, I could hear the person I was calling, but they could not hear me.
Can't call. Can't text. Only function seems to be as a caller ID for the SIM in the adapter. Does not work as advertised and not worth the money spent.

And I understand that on the road between 2 cities or towns coverage is bad.
But when I visited Las Vegas (not a small city) coveraged was also 2G.

Worst company ever!
I would give a 0 star if possible. I have had a Worldsim card for over a month. It was open the day I received it. I was told it would be just fine. The card was then activated by WorldSim, but NEVER worked for me. They only wanted me to keep trying different phones. I had a phone that was approved for the country I was traveling to. They couldn't understand that I was ONLY traveling with a basic phone. I then had to leave and my family continued to try to resolve the issue. The company refused to refund the unused balance as their return policy states. They took hours and hours of time with "Try this....." which never worked. We even offered to not worry about the cost of the card. This company is worthless.

Terrible.
Bought the SIM in 2018 (already then a problem, limited use from it). April 2022 added a data bundle and talktime top-up. Activated this telephonically (previously a problem, thus did everything I could to smooth use) prior to leaving my home country. Made one call (thus 10 British Pounds), could not use the data (another 13.51 British Pounds). When contacting WorldSIM, I was told the data was for the wrong country (could not use it in Germany). The choice was made on the web (see screenshot), due to the fact that "can be used in the following countries" mentioned). I challenge WordSim to put this review on their website.

Very disappointed
I bought a 4G data bundle to use in France and it never worked properly. The connection was 3G and not 4G as promised, very slow and very unstable. Worldsim's customer support and tech support were completely unhelpful. After two days of struggling with the card, I finally reached tech support only to be sold that the data bundle was used up. Requests for a refund of my time and trouble were refused. I would not do business with the company again.

They just cut the rope and bye bye. And of course no support to try get them back! Pathetic. They have no-vision of what "good service to customers" is. I would never recommend them.

We believe you are talking about the Ticket number "CAS-2XX359-R2X7D4" (We didn't mention the complete ticket number due to some security reason). Kindly correct us if you are talking about different case. As per our call records your number is getting incoming calls from all other worldwide numbers. The user can also make calls to Australian numbers without any issue. We can only deduce that the user can not receive calls from your mentioned numbers. Our server couldn't show any incoming call logs from your mentioned numbers. This indicates that the issue might lie with your local Australian service provider. Our Customer Support Team along with the technical Team also concur with the same.

According to your description, your phone was switched off most of the time so the chances of data usage are very low, however, it seems you forgot to turn off automatic updates for your phone and applications including your GPS services. These hidden factors lead to data usage and consequently, the balance is deducted from your SIM. Yes, technically, it is not possible at all to be charged for data when the phone is switched off. You must understand that the phone was turned on at least for a few minutes, if not for a longer period. You can also check your data usage in your phone itself. Kindly share your WorldSIM number, we will forward your case to our technical team to look at this matter from a fresh perspective.
