You should also double-check that your phone or tablet isn’t barred from connecting with other networks before purchasing one of these SIM cards, which are often freebies offered by hotels in foreign countries where they don’t have service yet.
- To get started, remove the SIM card tray or access slot and insert your own. There are no physical differences between cards ordered from TM Tambayan’s website or purchased at stores such as convenience stores/online resellers like Globe Online Shop & Lazada so just make sure it matches what is listed in their database.
- When you turn on your phone, get to the home screen and if requested enter in a PIN (Personal Identification Number) for verification. The silver foil of an initial SIM card package should be scratched off with no hassle.
