What to Do If Your Payment Is Declined

Encountering a declined payment can be frustrating, but don't worry—there are steps you can take to resolve the issue and complete your purchase. Here’s what you should do if your payment is declined while trying to purchase a NewSIM prepaid data-only eSIM:

Steps to Take if Your Payment Is Declined


Check Your Payment Information:
Ensure that all the payment details you entered are correct. Double-check the credit card number, expiration date, CVV code, and billing address.
Verify Available Funds:
Make sure that your credit card has sufficient funds to cover the purchase amount. Contact your bank or check your online banking app to verify your account balance.
Contact Your Bank:
Sometimes, banks may decline transactions for security reasons, especially for international purchases. Contact your bank to confirm that your card is not being blocked for security purposes.
Try a Different Payment Method:
If your payment is still declined, consider using a different credit card. While we currently accept only credit card payments, more payment methods will be offered soon to provide additional options.
Clear Browser Cache and Cookies:
If you’re making the purchase through our website, clearing your browser’s cache and cookies can sometimes resolve payment issues. After clearing them, try the transaction again.
Retry the Purchase:
After verifying your payment information and ensuring there are no issues with your bank, retry the transaction.
