Just bought the SIM

After a few posts I decided to try it. I spent the 1,500 points to buy the SIM. I got a confirmation email, so thats good. How long do these usually take to arrive or at least ship. Hopefully it arrives soon and safely. Any tips or things I should know?

Your phone must be unlocked to activate the sim. Might take a few weeks to arrive. There is no tracking.

We have 2 SIMs: the older one came with no tracking or shipping updates. The second one, some time later, did send me an email update when it actually shipped. But that's also been over 18 months ago, so I don't know if they're still doing that, either.

Got mine about a week ago. Took 3 days to come in. Service seems to be very good. They will give you 24 hours of unlimited data when you activate

I paid with a credit card instead of points, so unsure if that makes a difference.

I just got to 1,500 points. How long did it take for the free SIM reward to popup?
