Rogers PAYG SIM in CanadaInterest forums / Travel Tech | ||
I bought a PAYG Rogers Sim last year. Since then the credit has of course expired. Does anyone know if the card then is dead too? Will I be able to buy a top-up voucher to put on the same sim or will I need to buy a new sim card, when I arrive back in Canada? | ||
If the simcard allows international roaming - just test it where you are now. If it comes up with "registration failed" the number has expired. Usually the numbers are re-issued after some time of expiration. Most (prepaid) simcards I bought expired at after 6 months without use or top-up. Only a few were valid for 1 year. When there's a online site that allows you to top-up the balance, it can be kept 'alive' longer outside the country. | 1 | |
Thanks - it has registered on one phone but not the other. Unfortunately, there is no way of topping up online as I don't have a Canadian credit card or bank account, which are the only things acceptable to Rogers. | 2 | |
