WraptelDataSIM Unlimited Data Plans include a high-speed data allowance for each 24-hour period. After that allowance is used, unlimited data continues at reduced speeds until the next 24-hour period begins, when the high-speed allowance becomes available again.

For full details about plan levels, reduced-speed data, activation, expiry, and acceptable use, please review our Fair Usage, Activation & Expiry Policy.

International Data SIM Card/eSIM & Data Packages

The Wraptel International Data SIM Card/eSIM will expire 1 year after inactivity. During this period, you can add Data Packages at any time. Each new Data Package purchase will reset the expiry date of your SIM card/eSIM to 1 year from the date of purchase.

Data packages are valid for 6 months from the date of purchase. Any unused data packages will expire after 6 months, unless otherwise specified.

For eSIMs:

Switch the eSIM to 'ON' to activate the data package and begin the usage period.

For SIM Cards:
Insert the SIM card into your device to activate the data package and start your data usage period.

Once you arrive at your destination, either insert the SIM card into your device or turn the eSIM 'ON.' Please allow a few minutes for the setup process to complete automatically.

Your device should display the signal and carrier name. Once this happens, you can try accessing the internet.

If you're unable to connect to the internet, please try the following steps:

1. Power off your device, then turn it back on.
2. Alternatively, turn airplane mode off and then back on.
3. If the issue persists, manually configure the APN or select the network operator manually.

For instructions on APN Settings and Network Operators, click here.

We’ve found that the following steps resolve the majority of common issues. Please follow them carefully:

1. Reboot your device by powering it off and on again.
2. Check your network settings and ensure that the preferred network mode is set to 5G/4G/3G.
3. Enable both cellular data and data roaming in your device settings.
4. Check the APN settings: The APN should automatically configure itself, but if you're having data issues, you can manually enter the APN. Ensure the correct APN is set as active.
5. Network connection: Your SIM should connect to the network automatically. If it doesn’t, manually search for and select one of the approved networks.
6. Test all carriers under all APNs (remember to reboot after changing the APN).

If you’re still experiencing difficulties, don’t hesitate to contact our support team for further assistance.

Unlimited Data Packages

The Unlimited Data Packages will be counting continuously once activated in your device. Inserting the Data SIM Card in your device or turning the eSIM 'ON' will begin the consumption period of the Unlimited Data package.

For example, if the data plan that is purchased is a Europe - Unlimited Data 5 day package, and the Data SIM is activated in your device on 1 Oct 2018 (10am; GMT+8), the expiry date will be 6 Oct 2018 (10am; GMT+8). Every 24 hours will be counted as 1 day.
 

Yes, the SIM card is compatible with mobile hotspots, including WIFI and MIFI routers.

Please note that Wraptel only provides support for the SIM card itself, not the hardware. A basic understanding of how to configure your device settings is required. The Data SIM will not automatically populate the settings in routers or hotspots; these settings must be manually configured. Additionally, some routers may reduce the internet speed, which is outside of our control.

To ensure proper functionality, the device should be set up with the following configurations:

• Network Mode: Set to 5G/4G/3G
• Network Carrier: Manually select the appropriate carrier
• APN Settings: Manually configure the APN

If you're unsure about configuring your device, feel free to contact our support team. While we cannot guarantee a solution for all devices, we will make every effort to assist you. Please send us the details of your device, and we'll do our best to help.

For more comprehensive guidance, we recommend consulting your device's manual or reaching out to the device manufacturer.
