Having handfuls of Tru SIMs, I decided today that I was going to see how activating using the SIM in a phone and dialing 808 would work. It did not. However, when I called CS and she said if 808 had worked it would have forwarded to CS. So I went and activated the SIM online instead. |

Tru business SIM accounts already have AT&T network capability... it was the personal use Tru SIM that was limited to T-Mobile. Great news!

What is the expiration on Truphone SIMs? My best friend is moving to OZ and I'm thinking it might be a good solution for visits there.

AFAIK, they charge you 3$/£/€ on your balance after 3 months of inactivity, and then a top-up or a call shoud re-activate the sim. But I'm not sure.

The balance is still £4.84 i.e. the initial £5 less 2 text messages. So it should be safe to assume it will last a while. I'm not sure about that low use fixed charge, but it hasn't been applied to mine yet. |

there was a recent discussion about this on the truphone forum, and their terms of service are actually $3 fee every 30 days with no activity, and after 180 days they cancel the number.
but activity can be a free call to customer service or check balance. apparently they are reviewing the policy after a lot of complaints, many of us only use the sim for travel a few times a year. |
