Question 1

How does NomadSIM Protect keep my Colombian number alive?

Accepted Answer

You pay $2.99/month via Stripe. We use that to send refills to your Colombian SIM on the cadence the carrier requires (under CRC Resolution 5050/2016) — keeping the line active so the carrier doesn't recycle your number, and so Nequi, DaviPlata, and banking 2FA tied to it stay accessible.

Question 2

Why $2.99 per month?

Accepted Answer

It's the cheapest reliable subscription that keeps your Colombian number alive from abroad. Carrier apps (Mi Claro, Mi Tigo, Mi Movistar) reject foreign cards — so we charge your US/EU card monthly via Stripe and handle the carrier-side refills for you. Cancel any time.

Question 3

Will it auto-cancel when I return to Colombia?

Accepted Answer

Yes — when you sign up, you can pick your return date. The Stripe subscription stops automatically on that date, no further charges. You can also cancel any time from your dashboard.

Question 4

Does this work for Nequi, DaviPlata, and WhatsApp?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nequi, DaviPlata, and WhatsApp all rely on your Colombian phone number being active with its carrier. Keeping the SIM alive keeps those services accessible — no separate signup needed.

Question 5

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

Any US, EU, or international credit or debit card via Stripe. We do not require a Colombian card or Colombian bank account.
