To activate the SIM card, go to the "Activate SIM card" section in the FROG app and follow the steps on your screen. You will need to scan the barcode on the SIM card envelope using your mobile camera. Alternatively, you can enter the SIM card code manually. If activation is not possible, you will see a relevant explanatory message on your screen. If you don't activate the SIM card promptly, your order may be canceled, and you'll need to place it again.

To activate your new number or complete your number transfer to your new prepaid plan, you'll need to take a photo of your identification document (ID or passport) and a selfie, which will be used exclusively for the identification process.

No, activating the prepaid plan must be done using your personal identification data. 


What happens if I don't activate my prepaid plan’s SIM? 
The SIM card’s activation window may expire, and you'll need to place a new order. Especially when transferring your number from another provider, if you don't proceed with the activation process promptly, the transfer request won't be sent to your current provider until you do so. 


What is immediate and indirect portability? 
You can activate your number immediately upon receiving the SIM card (immediate portability) or wait 14 calendar days from signing the contract for the number transfer process to start (indirect portability). During this period (withdrawal period) and until your prepaid plan is activated, you can cancel your order from the "Orders" section. Otherwise, you'll lose the right to withdraw. Attention! The number must be registered under your name, in order to be able to apply for number portability, otherwise your request will be rejected by the National Reference Database of Portability (NRDBP). 

 

What will I have after the expiration of the activation offer for my prepaid plan? 
You can choose one of the available bundles for your prepaid plan. However, gifts and surprises never stop, so stay tuned!

According to the legislative framework, the digital identity card in the gov.gr wallet cannot, for the time being, be used for personal data verification/ identification of the owner of a telecommunications connection remotely (e.g. via app/ web portal). The digital identity card in the gov.gr wallet is only valid for personal data verification/ identification carried out by an authorized representative of the electronic communications provider with the physical presence of the owner of the connection (e.g. at the provider's stores).
