roaming in Asia
Hi thanks for your reply, I considered the Esim but for me, it's more important to keep the UK sim working(on roaming for my banking and other transactions ) rather than worrying about the sim card for abroad, which I can buy once I get there. any idea how I can achieve that? beyond 180+40days?
SonaliHo_116424 Apologies if my response wasn't clear enough.
You need to use the sim before the 220 days is up. You could buy the cheapest plan every few months to keep the sim 'alive'. If you have a modern phone, you can use the Esim as well as the physical sim without problems.
To be clear, you cannot leave the sim totally inactive for more than 220 days without it being deactivated.
If you doubt what I'm saying, please feel free to check by way of a web chat with Smarty Support Team.
