Our Europe roaming SIMs are valid for 30 days from the activation date<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You decide yourself when to activate the data package, and the 30-day period runs from activation.<\/p>\n

When the period ends<\/h3>\n

When the 30 days are over, you need to activate a new period to keep using the SIM card.<\/p>\n

If you are travelling for longer, we recommend ordering or preparing the next data package in good time.<\/p>\n

If the data runs out sooner<\/h3>\n

If you use all the data before the 30 days are over, you normally have to wait until the period ends or activate another Europe roaming SIM with a new data package.<\/p>\n

\n

Check the roaming setting<\/h3>\n

Data roaming allows the device to use a mobile network other than the SIM card’s home network. With Wifi.se’s roaming SIMs it normally has to be switched on when the card is used on partner networks. If roaming is switched off, the router may show a signal but still block data traffic.<\/p>\n

Good to know about the roaming SIM<\/h3>\n

A roaming SIM connects to partner operators in the countries included in the package. Which mobile network is used can therefore vary from place to place. Data roaming normally needs to be switched on, and in some situations manual network selection can help if the automatic choice has got stuck on a weak or unavailable network.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
