how do i activate my physical sim ?

Yes. Most Prune international physical SIMs come pre-activated, so you can start using them shortly after inserting the SIM in your destination country.

In most cases, the setup is as simple as:

Insert → Restart → Enable Data Roaming → Start using

For most SIMs (typical activation flow)

Insert the SIM into Slot 1

Restart your phone

Turn ON Mobile Data

Turn ON Data Roaming

Wait 30 seconds to 2 minutes

Your internet should connect automatically.

For SIMs that require manual activation

Some destinations or multi-operator SIMs (for example, Japan or Europe multi-network SIMs) may require an additional activation step such as:

Dialing a USSD code

Sending a verification SMS

Logging into a self-care portal

Waiting for an activation push from the operator
