FAQs

Q. Should You Buy the ORoaming Plan After Reaching the Destination?

Ideally, you should purchase the plan in advance mainly for two reasons. First, it gets activated only when you reach the destination. Second, if you can’t find Wi-Fi after reaching the destination, you won’t be able to purchase the plan there, and you’ll feel isolated without any connectivity.

Q. What if I Have Not Activated the ORoaming Plan? How Can I Get My Refund?

If you have not activated the plan, it will automatically expire in thirty days from the purchase date. It will automatically initiate the refund process; the money will be refunded to you within seven working days after approval.

Q. Can I Use This Plan on My Other Phone?

No. You can use the plan only on the phone which was used to purchase the plan.

Q. How to Use a Physical SIM Card After Activating the ORoaming Plan?

When you activate your plan, it generates a virtual SIM card that occupies the card slot on your phone and disables the physical SIM card in that slot. Using this virtual SIM card does not impact physical SIM cards in any other way; you will not incur additional charges or damage.  To use the physical SIM card, you must pause the virtual SIM card first.

Q. My ORoaming Plan Is Not Working. What Should I Do?

If your plan fails to activate, try moving to a different area, as the signal might not be good in the specific area. If it doesn’t fix the issue, contact the RedTea support team at the below-mentioned details:
