TravelSIM for Android
App crashes after log in, no access to app features to check account amount & top up. Very disappointed with product!!!
It keeps telling me "Unfortunately, TravelSIM has stopped" so I cannot access the App to check balance, top-up or anything else. It was woking ok initially.
Can't use. Crashes every time.
App crashes a lot, great customer support but annoying having to contact them due to unstable app. It should work without having to log in online, basic features. When working properly it is handy to just dial a number & have it recognise the country prefix. A lot of work needed to improve usability.
Sadly, this app won't recognise the travel SIM in my phone - despite uninstalling and reinstalling both SIM and app and contacting customer service people. I think it's probably because I have a dual SIM phone - can't see any other reason unless it's just a very poorly developed app. I have been able to use the loaded data allowance and credit via my phone's own calling app etc. However, can't use the app to call/text or check recharge/current levels of credit. So basically can't really use it for anything! I have to go to the website if I want any info (still haven't located how to check data credit level on the website!). Very un user friendly in my experience. Will be finding an alternative for my next trip. Both travel SIM and app have been a big fail and caused me some considerable stress. Don't waste your time or money with them.
A lot of basic features are not available using the app. They link off to the website which is not even mobile friendly. The app is difficult to install - you have to manually apply all your own permissions for it to work.
App crashes frequently. There is no settings page to allow for compatibility changes for certain devices as described in troubleshooting. Even after following all instructions to pre-activate, etc. travelsim has not worked at all overseas. Total waste of time and money, you would be better off looking at other options for international sim cards.
Won't even allow me to login in! App keeps crashing
Can't sync my sim, app continually crashes everything I try to click the sync button. So I'm not sure whether my data is even activated.
App won't even start up
The new update works really well!
Good so far ☺
I've been overseas for 10 weeks visiting 10 countries including in Europe where I bought a data package. Never, was I able to get it to work for data in any country. A complete waste of money. Worked for calls and SMS but why bother with that when you can get a local sim for a pittance compared to Travelsim's fees?
Okay for making calls and sending text but will not log in to my account.
Not happy with this travel sim
Had issues with putting a '+' in front of numbers on old phone but new phone, no problems. App is quick and easy to use. Just need to get used to the ring back method used to call someone.
Well it does exactly as it says, but is useless. Unfortunately the service is incompatible with my GNex. To make it work I need to add the *146*00 prefix to every dial, so I was hoping this app might work around the issue. It doesn't.
Did not work for me
I've between using travel SIM for years without an app. Good but clumsy. This app didn't work for me at first but after some time I got it running perfectly. Love the fact that it automatically adds the country code when dialling and that it is so easy to check balances.Thanks travel SIM.
Does not work on ASUS ZenFone 2. Just goes in a loop and cannot get past activation. SIM has already been activated. Won't even recognize SIM. Have tested SIM and working perfectly in same phone
It used to work well but lately it is a waste of time and money. Shame really.
Nothing worked, I had to buy one overseas, but its also better to do that too, its much cheaper and it works. I had everything set up and it just didnt work.
Crap app hasn't worked since installing it.
Does not work properly. Have dual sim
Wont authenticate sim after numerous tries.
So far, so good
Useless. Difficult to use Better off using travelsim menu
Travelsim makes it so easy to keep in touch while traveling. I can relax because I always know how much calls and data cost.

Good when it works but keeps stopping. Really annoying.
Won't detect SIM unless it is in slot 1 of a dual SIM phone. Useless!
The automatic number correction is incredible!!!

Won't install on a Samsung s4, tried two phones with factory reset. Installs ok on a S6. Excellent customer service but was unable to find a solution. Haven't used the used app yet, so can't rate the usablilty.
