How do I put money on my SIM card?
Usually, you can purchase a prepaid SIM card with money on it – in the package amount that you choose. If your credit runs low and you need to add more money to your SIM, you can do this at a mobile store or post office.
Depending on your provider, you can top-up your mobile phone at most Post Offices, Payzone retailers and major supermarkets. You can also top-up at most ATMs. To top-up at Post Office, Payzone store or a Supermarket, you will have to purchase E-voucher or swipe your E- top-up card supplied by your mobile Network.
Arrange for a paycheck or other regular payment to be directly deposited onto the card. Transfer money from a checking account or another prepaid card. Buy a “reload pack” to add a certain amount to your card. Add funds at certain retail locations or at the financial institution that provides the card.
Reload options: You can usually add money to a card in multiple ways, such as setting up direct deposits, loading cash at participating retailers and depositing checks at ATMs. Some cards also let you make online transfers or mobile check deposits from a smartphone.
A local SIM card operates on just one network in a specific location. When you move outside your operator's coverage area - such as when you travel abroad- this is known as data roaming. You can still use your phone to make calls and use data, but you may be charged at a higher rate.

Compared to the power of your computer, SIM cards are actually quite limited in what they can do. They have a small memory capacity (again, when compared to computers. Their memory is more than adequate for storing all of your phone needs). They are virtually useless outside of a smartphone device.
In many cases, you simply need to insert your new SIM card into your phone to activate it. Otherwise, if you need to enter a particular code (found on your new SIM card), you can do so online via the network's website or app. To make it easy, we've broken down how to activate a SIM card by network.
If you're using an eSIM, you'll just need to download the eSIM profile to your device, using the QR code in your eSIM pack. If you have a Pay As You Go plastic SIM, you'll need to put it in your device and then top up to activate it.
Prepaid and contract SIM cards are technically identical. They both contain unique IMSI numbers that connect your device to the carrier network. The core difference lies in how service is paid for. With regular contract plans, you are billed monthly for a set package of services.
A top-up is a process of adding credit or money to a prepaid SIM card to be able to use its services, such as making calls, sending texts, or using data. The user typically purchases a top-up voucher or uses an online payment system to add the desired amount of credit to the SIM card account.
If your current phone uses GSM technology, you may be able to get a new SIM card for it. You simply need to ensure that it is “unlocked” first. Some carriers include software that connects the SIM card to the serial number of the phone.
In addition to network data, personal information is stored on a SIM card. Things like your phone number, contacts, and text message history are stored on a SIM, which makes it easy to transfer information from one device to another.
Can I get a SIM card without a monthly plan?
Paying for a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) Sim is straightforward. With networks that offer them, you can usually request a free Sim via its website and once received, you simply top up the credit as needed. You can usually do this online, via phone, at a store, or through automatic top-up options.
An average SIM card will cost you between $10 and $20.
A sim card does not come with a pre-assigned number. That is done when the sim card is activated. If you are adding a new line, a number would get assigned then and then that number would be activated on the sim card.
The most straightforward way to determine if a SIM card is active is by placing it inside a compatible phone and making a call to see if it rings [2].
A prepaid SIM card allows you to pay for a carrier's service upfront — by having it ready to go with a certain amount. A postpaid SIM card is tied to a carrier's plan and is billed to you monthly, depending on your usage.
