I bought a Gadget to allow me to have Wifi when I went Traveling but after a lot of trying even got an expert to try it would not work, so then I tried to contact the company when I did All I got is the run around, after over a month I am still no further on, I have even returned the goods, another story, so I have nothing to show for my money £90. So my advice to anyone thinking of getting a mobile wifi do not get it from Word sim.

I bought a SIM card for data from the above company in Armsterdam a few days ago, it worked well for a few days, but now it can not get data. I talked with their customer service three times, they run through every option but it did not work. They said their technical team will send me an email. Today I received an email, in which I was told to contact them again, so I called, very disappointing, a staff asked me to run through the procedure again, but no result. I demanded a new sim card or refund my money, but he said he would report this problem to their national center, well let 's wait for the result.
I shall let everyone know the result. We shall see how this company solve this issue.
If you are thinking of buying a SIM card, my advice is to try another company.

Stay far away from WorldSim, especially if you communicate with Verizon subscribers. I have had horrible experiences with their customer service since I purchased one of their phone/sim products in 2013. It took them two years to discover and/or disclose that the reason I could not send text messages to phones in the US is because they do not have a business agreement with Verizon (one of the largest telecom companies). This is not made known in any of their product information, web pages, etc. For 2 years all they would say is that they are working on the problem that they will fix soon, but had no idea how to solve the problem.

Truly promising!
January 29, 2016

Early on this year, got shipped to a different dept in my office where I was supposed to move in States and Mexico every now and then. Though, my office provided me a roaming sim card, that was an absolute crap service. I was not sure exactly which network I chose. So, glanced over some online reviews and compared their tariffs and, finally, decided upon Worldsim. At last, got assurance on my oversea communication with a truly promising brand.

Massive over charging
January 5, 2016

I am travelling in Sri Lanka and in a hotel with no wifi in the room. Brilliant, I'll connect my newly purchased TriFi Pocket Modem. The initial capacity was used up almost instantaneously so I topped up with 20 pounds. By the time I woke up in the morning it was completely used up. OK, I topped up with 50 pounds in the morning and still no internet access. When I called Worldsim they told me that I had used up the entire 50 pounds in 5 minutes connection to the internet. I may have received 3-4 emails in that 5 minutes with immaterial attachments. Further I had been connected to the "wrong" network. They admitted I had been over charged but could not guarantee to reverse the charge and would take 24 hours to get back to me. In order to connect to the right network it seems I have to take the Sim card out of the modem, insert it in a phone and then manually connect to their preferred network. I asked them how I was supposed to know this given it isn't in the instructions for the device or on their web site. They had no response. This is a total rip off.

Best Connection!
December 31, 2015

Late November, purchased a worldSIM 3G portable Router which came with a very easy set up. Could work very smoothly with laptop and my Mac. Speed got slower when I used the devices in long length, but within a decent distance, always performed very well. Found the device promising for cheap data tariffs and strong coverage.

Easy Multifunctionality
December 18, 2015

Got smooth functionality with WorldSIM Stylus Pen. Typing on tab was really boring but I could write articles with this stylus and when got back to home, transferred those docs to my PC with the same pen. Purchased another one for my boss as Xmas gift.

Received my WorldSIM card delivery one day later to the promising day. Suspected a crap service again. But all went wrong when I made the first tour with this network. Even, in some places, WorldSIM caught better signal than the local network. It was amazing getting a network helped me staying close to my family with a lessened price.

Consistent Data Support
December 16, 2015

As my previous modem turned to be faulty, purchased a new Mobile WiFi from WorldSIM. Used it in some recent oversea trips. Though it did not provide me ultra speed, but I was satisfied as ups and down on net speed happened rarely. Was in comfort while going through internet tasks.

Surfed well at first try!
December 14, 2015

While we needed data support for all of our clients, it was a real challenge. As I used the WorldSIM Data roaming before and found it worthy, decided to get a first try with them. And, luckily got the router (I chose the Huawei) from them as well. Though we could assign ten devices with each router but I did not allow more than five. Guys applauded us for this new worthy service. Good job, WorldSIM.

Fortunate!
December 13, 2015

I got combination for some of tasks on roaming with the Phone! Use it when I stay on roaming. Seemed to be the perfect one when I could not take care of any phone but has to go through some rough usage. Battery was helpful and normally my samsung phone does not go more than one day but this one survived for three days with one time charge. I would recommend.

Just two days before a road trip in Mexico, collected a simple handset from my roaming network provider. Most relaxable thing about the phone, it was dual sim featured and both the WorldSIM and Telcel worked fine with the phone. As used both domestic and international networks, communication was never an issue. Fantastic tour so far!

Effective!
December 4, 2015

I have been using the WorldSIM for some its advantages. Basically, when I roam around and my office staffs needs my assistance, I have to talk a lot at that time. And, the most convenient part of this SIM card is its effective call rate which made long term conversation affordable.

Low Cost Calling!
December 1, 2015

Being ripped off by my past roaming SIM card, I wanted to check out WorldSIM's services as its call rates seemed to me decent as mentioned in their website. It was a fortune to get a good way for international communication. Delighted to find that their billing was alright. Besides calling, I used it for transferring mails. WorldSIM was worth the purchase!

Fast Data!
November 26, 2015

Being an old retiree person, I decided to spend my rest life and money behind moving places. Though I move frequently, needed a data device which would not lead me through hard task for setting up the connection. For the last one year, using WorldSIM card and their Wifi router and power bank. It gave me enough support for data communication. And, additionally got favor from its power bank option. Now I know the ins and outs of this device and this is why it became very easy for me keep going with this device.

A Very Worthy Gift
November 20, 2015

Last time when I visited worldsim to top up my account, I saw the Multi tool pen with some unique features and ordered one for my grandson as he was about to join college and seemed to me it would be a worthy gift. Last week, he called me and thanked me for the pen. He was able to get hold of the uses of the pen and was happy about it. Was delighted to be able to gift something useful to him.

I borrowed the WorldSIM card from my father before going to Sweden. Had safe journey with this sim card and enjoyed comfort for the communiation. As soon as I stepped in Sweden, I switched on the sim card and made the first call to my home. The voice quality was loud and clear. When I checked my balance, it was an affordable billing for an international call.

Great Relief!
November 18, 2015

I am going to share something that certainly would help oversea travelers like me. The common problem about all the roaming SIM cards is selecting the correct geographical profile. I found the process tiresome, boring and time consuming. Finally got a very quick fix with my WorldSIM roaming SIM card. They sent me an upgraded international roaming SIM card in which I need not to select any profile. Now it's really a great relief and risk free for overcharging. I found it more easy making the first call from foreign lands.

Versatile Roaming Gadget
November 13, 2015

Purchased the WorldSIM multi tool pen that got some features to solve multiple tasks very easily. It performed alternative to some tools, that I needed while travelling. For measuring small objects this pen gave me imperceptible measurement. I had to find objects like pillow or bulky books to get straight view from my tab but now simply I put my tab in its phone dock. The pen is a perfect combination of different contributive tools.

Crucial Rescue Gadget
November 11, 2015

WorldSIM power bank pen has become a very integral part of my travel gadget list. It does not deal with big issues but helps me with multiple features. With this pen, I can write just like an ordinary pen. In crisis moment, my phone was charged by this pen for several times. Little help though, but sometime it becomes very crucial for a rescue; especially on roaming.
