Please Note:

Your American Samoa SIM Card (Blue Sky) will require a SIM-unlocked GSM 1900 compatible international cell phone. If you do not have your own international cell phone, we have several models available for rental or purchase.

Customer service for your American Samoa prepaid SIM card is available 24 hours a day by dialing 611 [send] at any time from your American Samoa cellular phone.

For emergencies while using your local American Samoa GSM SIM card in American Samoa please dial 112 from your cell phone.

*The SIM card is located inside the transparent plastic CD case. You will need to snap out the thumbnail sized American Samoa SIM card along the perforated edge of its holder and then insert the American Samoa SIM card into your international cell phone with the gold contacts of the American Samoa SIM card facing the metal contacts of your international cellular phone.

**When calling from the United States to your American Samoa cellular phone number, callers will need to dial 1 followed by the prefix 684 and then your American Samoa cell phone number, omitting the first 0 (zero). To call back to the US from your American Samoa cell phone, simply dial 1, area code, phone number, just like at home.

International Calls

Making international calls from your world cell phone has never been easier with your prepaid American Samoa SIM card. All rates are per minute for international outgoing calls from an American Samoa prepaid SIM card within American Samoa.

Your SIM card has an initial airtime credit of $10. Additional credit is available through the purchase of airtime vouchers, also called reload codes (not another SIM card), in American Samoa. These airtime vouchers are available in 3 denominations; $10, $20 and $50.

Simply scratch off the gray protective layer to reveal your voucher code. When punched into the keypad of your international cell phone the voucher code will credit your SIM card the respective denomination you purchased.

Airtime vouchers are available locally, in American Samoa, at local convenience stores, gas stations and authorized dealers.

Remember: Do not purchase another SIM card when your airtime credit is depleted! You only need a recharge voucher! And your incoming calls are always free even when you run out of airtime.

The initial $10 airtime voucher will expire in 30 days after it has been added to the account. If no additional airtime is added to the account after 30 days, the account will be deactivated and any remaining airtime will be forfeit. If the account is not reactivated within an additional 30 days, the phone number will be recycled.

More Information and Resources

Keeping in touch while in American Samoa can be very a frustrating and expensive experience without an international cell phone and American Samoa SIM card.

Sometimes a payphone takes coins (But how many is anybody's guess!!!), other times a proprietary calling card and still others only a credit card will do with accompanying instructions that would take a week to understand.

American Samoa cellular phone rentals can significantly cut down on the frustration of calling home while abroad but the airtime rates would bankrupt all but the thickest of wallets. Airtime rates for a American Samoa cell phone rental can typically start at $1.50 and may be as high as $2+/minute.

Think you got a deal on your world phone and plan on doing some international roaming? With international roaming charges the airtime rate you will pay is out of this world.
