But the phone didn't work either

We primarily used this phone for Google Maps directions when driving or using public transit, as well as for voice calls to US and European numbers, and it worked great

Simply installed in an iPhone 6, restarted phone, received a phone number via SMS (+33), and it worked as I hopped across the Baltics.

Attempted to call customer service using another phone (different, expensive plan) but was disconnected

Just returned from Europe, SIM did not work, phone was unlocked and other SIM cards worked

Took the phone off automatic and connected to Telenor and it worked great

Phone and text worked great though you need to add the USA international calling prefix (001) when calling/texting

The phone worked in ports on the Greek Islands and most of the time when sailing between islands except when the ship was not near to an island with a cell tower.

All attempts to rectify this, on line (via Wi-Fi), over the phone, or at a mobile store while in Europe, lead to an incredible waist of time with no change in the status

I popped in the SIM card into an unlocked GSM phone prior to landing in Paris and the phone was working before entering the Immigration and Customs area

I regularly set my phone to make a hotspot so my family could share the data connection, and it worked great for that

Turned on my phone after the plane landed on the runway and the phone was working with cell and data.

You should know your phone will get a new phone number of the country you are in, so you will not be able to get calls placed to your original cell number.

Made crystal clear phone calls back to the States and video chatted with my kiddos from the shore of the Adriatic.

I gave the phone number listed on the packaging as MSISDN (with a 33 preceding it, the country code of France) to my family in advance so that they would know who I was once I started using the SIM overseas

I also topped up my phone after the 14 days for 20 Euros at a tabac in France and got another 5GB of data, 500 sms and 1 hour of talk time

Text received from orange with welcome and phone number associated with the sim.

(assuming your phone is compatible) and still be able to call home or around Europe for no extra charge.

Phone and text worked fine, but unless I reset my phone each day, the sim card would not connect automatically to 4G or 3G in Italy

We made a phone call which worked great and sent a few text messages which worked fine too

After we landed , popped the SIM card in, received a text message stating the activation as well as for our french issued phone number

Only phone works

When I landed in Paris the phone worked like a charm

I was able to top off my phone for an additional 14 days for €20

So, I recommend inserting the card as soon as you arrive then by the time you collect your bags, pick up your car and get a few euros, the phone was ready to go
