Charging your mobile etc. in Tunisia

[Grace 111]

That's good to know that you can't buy it at the airport. When I visited Madras, India there airport was smaller. You had to get things in other places.

Probably makes no difference for some people but just to let you know as for me personally I only now use my Tunisian sim card as I live here and just saves the hassle of changing numbers when I go home to visit.

Do you know how to set this up so it works in the UK?
because my sim card does not work here. Do I set it up with Orange, or do I set it up with Tunisiana

Hello all

Could you give me any tips on what would be reasonable-priced prepaid mobile carrier in tunisia and where is the best place to buy prepaid sim cards in sousse ?

I found an old topic loosely regarding that matter
( Charging your mobile etc. in Tunisia ) but no further information was given

From what I've found so far there are two major mobile operators, Tunisie Telecom and Orascom Telecom Tunisie (TUNISIANA). Which is better ?

Any tips on what to look for and what to be aware of ? Do you simply go and buy a sim card or do they want you to provide some papers (like passport?) ?

Thanks in advance!

Kez...

Is your phone (uk) un-blocked? If not you can pay £10 to have it unblocked here and it will be available to any network sim you put in your phone. I paid to have mine done in tunisia, when i was there, and my tunisian sim works here. Although im not sure how you go about putting credit on it.

Hi
welcome to the forum both Tunisie telecom and Tunisiana are good , u can go to Tunisiana shop , give them your passeport in order to make a contract then ( we give our ID in tunisia but since u are not tunisian , u will give them your passeport) . it will function after 1/2 an hour. prices begin from 5TD+

have a nice holiday

Thank you Sana for such a quick and informative response!

Have a sunny holiday!

Mine is un blocked(orange). My tunisian sim card will receive calls/texts, but wont let me make calls or send texts from it . Strange !

OMG - my phone card actually does work here. For me to call there, and for there to call here... YEAH (im sure it didn't work last time I tried it)

Thanks Bex

I think I have. I don't know how much though. I'm not sure how to check.
