When using "Xperia XZ Premium (SO-04J)" used by cheap SIM overseas, SIM card becomes a bottleneck. Because the SIM card has been unlocked, you can buy a prepaid SIM card from the local operator, but it is troublesome to pull out the SIM card. That said, in the case of cheap SIM, there is almost no place to prepare preferential overseas roaming communications services.
Although I don't want to pull out the SIM, I want to communicate with Trafigura abroad. The one who can solve such a wish is H.I.S. It's the "weird SIM" of the phone.
This time it's H.I.S. Try using the "weird SIM" on your phone.
I bought the type that posted "strange SIM". By pasting on the usual SIM, even if you don't pull out the SIM, it can be used as an overseas SIM, which is very suitable for Xperia XZ Premium with a single SIM specification.
First remove the SIM from the Xperia XZ Premium, and then paste the strange SIM according to the instructions. The accompanying instructions are Android version and iOS version, which is easy to understand.
The accompanying instructions are divided into two types according to OS.
Peel the film from the lining paper and set the SIM installed on the Xperia XZ Premium on the lining paper
Just re-paste the film and stick it tightly.
Peel off the film again and remove the SIM
Next, all you have to do is insert a SIM with a strange SIM pasted on Xperia XZ Premium's SIM tray. Although the thickness of the paste increased, it went in quickly.
Install it into the SIM slot. There are no particularly annoying questions.
After installing the SIM card, start the dedicated application. The application can be downloaded from the Play store. After launching the application, log in to the strange SIM using the ID and password you created at the time of purchase.
National plans can be purchased from dedicated applications. Because I came to Thailand this time, I tapped "Thailand" from the "purchase". This will show the cost of the day, and you can choose the number of days to use.
Click the destination country from the Buy button
Displays the basic fee for one day, with the option of using the number of days
The number of days of use is 1 to 7 days. Even if it is used for a long time, there is no discount
Switch the SIM card after the purchase plan. Click the "switch" button at the bottom of the screen, and then press the switch button from "domestic SIM" to "strange SIM". It's convenient not to unplug the SIM card.
Change SIM to weird SIM on the switch screen
The switch was successful.
Click "use this Plan" from here to start communicating. It should be, but it won't start after a few taps. Furthermore, the radio waves are not captured and the antenna pixels are still outside the circle.
Even from this state, you can't work.
Shows that you cannot register even if you try to select a career manually
I also called the reception desk because it was too crowded. "I'll pick you up in order." it took an hour to get through. After conveying the symptoms, the operator called me back and ended up taking a flight back to Japan that night.
The author has used the type of roaming service posted before, and at this time, the fate of the terminal and SIM switching errors are also very frequent. Although there is no need to unplug, it is still necessary to pull out the SIM several times at work, in which peeling off or stuck in the slot, unexpectedly very hard.
For users who are not familiar with this kind of work, it is easier to understand and rest assured to use the prepaid SIM of overseas operators and leased mobile routers. Having said that, acquaintance lighters can also be used on iPhone without any problems in Thailand, and it is also a matter of fate. Challenge again when you go to another country recently.
