The Brastel card comes with the SIM. The Brastel card allows you to do two things.
- Make VoIP calls to regular land and mobile phone lines if you don't already have something like Skype Premium.
- Recharge the SIM card if you use up the 2Gbyte of data.
However, in order to use the Brastel card, you have to do two things.
- Download the Brastel app (e.g. from the Apple App Store).
- Charge the Brastel card. You can charge it by credit card or at a convenience store.
