Activating Your Service in Aruba:

Your Aruba mobile phone number is displayed through the window on the front of your SIM card packaging and begins GSM number: 56…. The Aruba cell phone number may also be found on the tri-fold letter containing your SIM card.

To start using your service simply:

  • Be sure that battery is charged
  • Insert the Aruba SIM chip into the cellular phone
  • Turn on your phone
  • Enter the PIN code (defaulted to 0000)*
  • Start calling

* Your phone will prompt you for a 4-digit PIN code (defaulted to 0000), which is located on the tri-fold envelope affixed to the SIM card. The PUK is only required to unblock you phone if you enter in a PIN code incorrectly. Follow your cell phone manual instructions to correctly use the PUK to unblock your phone.


Adding Talk Time:

Your SIM card has an initial airtime credit of 31 Guilders (US$17.00). Additional credit is available through the purchase of airtime vouchers, also called reload codes (not another SIM card), in Aruba. These airtime vouchers are available in 4 denominations:

  • 15 Guilders (US$8.00)
  • 25 Guilders (US$14.00)
  • 35 Guilders (US$20.00)
  • 50 Guilders (US$28.00)

Simply scratch off the grey protective layer to reveal your voucher code. When punched into the keypad of your international cell phone the voucher code will credit your SIM card the respective Guilder/Florin denomination you purchased.

The validity period of the airtime will be determined by the airtime value that is purchased. And display the airtime validity with the value (but make it look nice):

  • 15 Florins = 20 days
  • 25 Florins = 30 days
  • 35 Florins = 30 days
  • 50 Florins = 60 days

Note: Florins and guilders may be used interchangeably to refer to the local currency.

Airtime vouchers are available locally, throughout Aruba, at local Tabac shops, convenience stores, and Primo authorized dealers.

Remember: Do not purchase another SIM card when your airtime credit is depleted! Your only need a recharge voucher! And your incoming calls are always free even when you run out of airtime.
