How Does Yackie GSM Card Work?

B. Yackie GSM SIM cards are easy to use and take less than 3 minutes to install. First you need an unlocked (tri or quad band recommended) GSM phone. While discussing BANDS your phone needs to have access to the GSM network in that country. Yackie recommends the purchase of quad band handsets as they will cover all frequencies. To install a GSM chip into an unlocked phone, most handsets require the removal of the backing and battery; behind the battery is the GSM SIM card slot. Remove any old GSM card and replace with Yackie Mobile world GSM card. Make sure to insert the SIM following the handset guidelines. Make sure the cross cut corners lines up with the small diagrams next to the card slots. Once installed replace the battery and backing on the phone. Now turn on the unlocked handset and enter the PIN number (found on Yackie SIM holder Card). After entering the PIN the handset will register on the best suitable network. Placing a call is simple, just dial 00 and the number you wish to call, country code first followed by city code then number. Almost instantaneously you will be called back and the communication will be established.

Example: wherever you are to dial FRANCE 00 33 361080XXX, UK 00 44 2088199XXX US 00 1 2129483XXX.
