About "Spare Travel SIM"
Travelling should be a joyful experience filled with memories. However, losing your primary phone and SIM card can feel powerless. Being overseas and unable to stay in contact with friends and families, losing access to banking services and two-factor authentication can bring immense stress and inconvenience to your journey!
"Spare Travel SIM” is a backup SIM card of your main number, with a 3-month validity period. If you lose your mobile phone and SIM card while travelling, simply contact our customer service hotline or Online Live Chat to activate the “Spare Travel SIM”. The activation takes around 15 minutes after identity verification and you can continue to use your main mobile phone number to stay in touch.
