Your Pakistan SIM card will provide you with a Pakistan cellular phone number, which can be found on your SIM card, inside your SIM card package. The number will begin with 03.

*You will need to snap out the thumbnail sized Pakistan SIM card along the perforated edge of its holder and then insert the Pakistan SIM card into your international cell phone with the gold contacts of the SIM card facing the metal contacts of your international cellular phone.
**When calling overseas from the United States to your Pakistan cell phone, callers will need to dial 011 followed by the country code 92 and then your Pakistan cell phone number. To call abroad from your Pakistan cell phone simply dial 00 followed by the country code and phone number.

Keeping in touch while in Pakistan can be very a frustrating and expensive experience without an international cell phone and Pakistan 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.
Pakistan 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 Pakistan 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.
The Pakistan prepaid SIM chip is a quick and easy way to convert your existing world phone into a prepaid Pakistan cell phone for Pakistan and as discussed is more economical then a Pakistan cell phone rental. For your next assignment or vacation in Pakistan, this SIM chip (combined with an unlocked GSM World cell phone) helps you stay connected while avoiding those international roaming surcharges that always accompany your 'home' SIM card while abroad. We offer a growing selection of prepaid SIM Cards for other international destinations as well as a wide variety of GSM cell phone accessories and GSM international cell phones. |
