What does "unlocked" mean?
If your device is "unlocked", it means that it can work with a SIM from any network. If your device is "locked", it is restricted to work only on your regular carrier's network. Your device must be "unlocked" to work with a Mobal eSIM.

How do you know if your phone is unlocked?
If you purchased your device as an "unlocked" or "SIM Free" device from a retailer such as Amazon, then your device is almost certainly already unlocked. This means that it will work with our SIM card. If you purchased your device directly from your carrier (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.), your device is probably locked and, therefore, it may not work with our SIM card. If you're still not sure whether or not your device is unlocked, simply contact the store where you purchased your device from.

My device is locked. What can I do?
If your device is locked, it may be possible to get it unlocked - simply ask your provider about this.

Profits Go To Charity

With a Mobal SIM, you don't just travel the world, you make it a better place!
tony smith Mobal chairman

It all started with one man's desire to make calls while traveling...

Mobal was the brainchild of Chairman Tony Smith. As a lifelong international traveler, he was constantly frustrated when trying to keep in touch with family, friends & business contacts on his many trips overseas.

On the back of the success of the international cell phone service he has established a number of charities with a desire to change the world.

In February 2016, Tony set up Seibo, a registered Japanese non-profit organisation with a simple aim: to feed every hungry child in the world a hot meal in school!. School feeding carries many benefits - education, nutrition and health, gender equality, food security, poverty alleviation - in one single meal. The world would be changed if every hungry child in it were to receive a meal at school.

Mobal guarantees that the majority of profits go to its charities, so with your Mobal SIM, you don't just travel the world, you make it a better place!
