Linking & Activating Your SIM Card
1.To register your SIM card you will need the ICCID and the PUK, found on the back of your SIM card.
2.Enter the information into the required form fields.
3.Select the Country for your SIM number and click LINK ACCOUNT.
4.Remember only one number per SIM allowed.
5.If successful you will receive an activation message on screen with your new number.
6.Next go to Your SIM Accounts and add air time credit to your SIM to finalize activation.

Log into your account. Give them the SIM and PUK numbers.
Choose a country for your phone number.

I was given a 213 area code----the area code I was born in.
Note sure if they chose it intentionally or what.


Took no more than two minutes.

Since Piranha Mobile seems to still exist and mail out SIMs and restore balances, maybe you should try to get the new SIM cards?

Does anyone know any short codes?

For, like, balance or voicemail or............

Not that I am aware of. Nothing on the website either. Does it even have voicemail? I chose US number. When called and the phone is off, it just gives a busy tone. Or if not picked up, it gives the system message that the wireless customer is not available.

I saw that as well. Seems the UK prefix 44 is fixed, the rest behind 44 is my US Number. Thought that I might have a UK number as well, but if you look at it, it's your US number behind a 44 prefix...

My 2 new Piranha cards just arrived! I'm more or less given up on them. I registered them, but not showing as registered yet. looks like these can only take one number, unlike their earlier versions... Let's see if they have fixed the text issues, and restored the VOIP capability!

PS activated and balances showing, just 10 mins after registering, not the 48 hours it says in the letter...

I think that depends on whether they are there when you try.
So might be longer on weekends.
