Activating a SIM Card

✅ Already picked up your order? 

Great news — there's nothing you need to do to activate your SIM.

Once your order is processed:

• Your SIM will automatically activate on the start date of your order.
• It will automatically deactivate on the end date.
• If no end date was provided, the SIM will remain active until you update us with one.

📌 Just insert the SIM card when you land. It will begin working on the start date with no manual activation required.
