Help with Orange Holiday Card

Posted by (City of Seattle) on

Every summer I buy an Orange Holiday Card in the US from Amazon, and every summer I forget when and how to register it.

I'll be in Europe for 6 weeks this trip. I know the card will just work for two week if pop it in when I land in Paris.

But should I mail back the pre-paid registration mailer from the US? Bring it and drop in mailbox?

Is there a register online option where I don't need to mail anything?

To be honest, I think in the past I haven't registered at all and the Orange Holiday card has been rechargeable online well past 2 weeks no problem. But the registration material says the sim card won't work after 2 weeks if I don't register.

So yeah, little help? I know I should remember this but is my wife says I have a ton of RAM but a small hard drive. Thank you

Go to the Amazon page for this and read through the Q&A section - that's where I've found very helpful answers to questions like this about the Orange SIM card. Being a bit "old school" I've been known to copy/paste the most helpful tips like your question and how to bypass issues with a Verizon phone with the card.

Okay quick follow up for posterity, and so I can read next year when I forget again :)

1 arrive in Europe
2 put card in your phone and restart
3 follow texted prompts to register online

No need for the paper card by mail.

No need to do anything ahead.

You will need to snap a photo of your passport and send it along with online form.

If you want to use SIM for two weeks or less, no need to register.
