FAQ

What is the service contract period?

The minimum service requirement period is activation month + 3 billing months. After this period, the service will switch to a monthly service and you will be able to cancel at the end of each month.

I’ve changed my phone and the SIM card is not working on the new device.

Whenever the SIM card is used with a new device, the APN profile would need to be installed on said device. Please refer to the APN Setup Guide in the Documents section to check how the profile can be installed.

Are international calling features available?

Yes, by adding the prefix “0063” in front of the number that you would like to call, you will be able to make International calls with the SIM card. An application called “Otoku Call” by Freebit can also be used to make the calls. Calls made through this app will automatically have the 0063 prefix added in front of the number. *Overseas use for our SIM card is disabled by default.

How do I cancel the service?

To cancel, please log into the SonixNet SIM Management Website and send us a cancellation request before the 25th to cancel your account at the end of the month. For example, cancellation requests will need to be sent in by May 25th, in order to cancel at the end of May.
