2017 Piranha Mobile Sim Card 2017 thread

Follow-up: My SIM arrived today in Germany, so I can answer my own question and say that there was no notice that it was shipped out. Postage date is August 7th. Assuming they shipped a big batch the same day, I'm guessing those of you in the US will receive them later this week or next.

After activating it, my previous balance was transferred over within 30 minutes, although interestingly it's now in US dollars instead of British pounds, despite selecting a UK number.

Important note: APN is now "roamingplus". Data is billed per 10kb. I think it was 100kb previously, so that's an improvement.

The default APN profiles on the SIM (APN: "pepper") indicate it's a Jersey Telecom SIM.

I first asked for a replacement SIM when this first became news.
I wonder if they are sending everyone who requested one a SIM or just more recent folk. If anyone requested the SIM more than a month ago and gets one now: Please speak up. It will give reassurance or at least a warning that we will need to request again.

That is the area code I was born in. Live near by to it now. [Same place.]

I suspect that somehow Piranha has forgot to send a replacement SIM to some of us. I requested one on 5/19 (via their support ticket) when the issue first came about as well. I have not received it yet. So I went ahead and put in another request yesterday.
