You can see the status of your Prepaid subscription in the PREPAID Shop (when you access the store on a mobile device, for example, on a mobile phone) and after a first charge (if you use any other internet connection). The PREPAID Shop uses cookies so the next time you don’t need to enter your phone number separately.

You can ask for a subscription balance and the period of validity of the subscription easily by sending the word TILI by text message to 18258. The enquiry is free of charge.

To check the status of your orders, send the text message STATUS to the number 15020. You will also receive a reminder message six hours prior to the expiry of the weekly or monthly package.

• The Prepaid subscription is valid for 3 months from the first day of use.
• As of each recharge, the subscription is valid for 12 months.
• A text message is sent to the subscription before the end of the validity, asking you to recharge additional balance or to purchase a new package.

The Prepaid subscription PIN is by default 1234.

Retain your Prepaid starter kit, as the Prepaid PUK code can only be found on the SIM card frame.

It is not possible to get the PUK code for a Prepaid subscription via OmaElisa or Elisa’s customer service. If your phone requests a PUK code and you no longer have access to the card frame, the Prepaid subscription can no longer be used.

You can order a fixed price web package at the PREPAID Shop (you can change language to English from the right corner of the page), R-Kiosk or via a text message. You can check the prices for the available packages and ordering instructions here (FI).

The APN in our Prepaid subscriptions, required as Internet Access Point, is internet. Check your phone or tablet settings in case the internet connection or MMS messages are not working on your device.

Data transfer speed depends, for example, on the selected service, location, available network technology, signal strength, disturbance level, device characteristics and network load. Additionally, geographic conditions may impose local restrictions on network coverage.

You can buy a Saunalahti PREPAID Nettiasema at any R-Kiosk (FI). More information on this product can be found here (FI). The Prepaid Nettipaketti 4G starter kit includes a Huawei E5576 4G mobile router. Instructions for using the device are available here.
