I’m having problems making/receiving calls.
Is your phone set to ‘Do Not Disturb’ mode?
Android: To turn this setting off on an Android device swipe down from the top of the screen and tap your current option: Alarms only, Priority only, or Total silence. Press the volume down button and tap Turn off now.
iPhone: To turn this setting off on an iOS device swipe up from the bottom of the screen and tap the crescent moon shaped icon.
Your surroundings can really affect the quality of reception, especially if you’re a long way from a mobile mast. Buildings close by, cars or electrical equipment can block a signal – we’d suggest moving from where you are if it’s possible. If you’re near lots of trees, inside a large building or in a valley the signal may not be as reliable – we’d suggest finding an open space.

How much will it cost me to call a premium rate number?
The cost to call a premium rate number is the same when on-island, or when roaming in the UK or IoM.
These numbers are made up of two charges:
- A network access charge: JT charge 40p per minute from Fixed Lines and Mobiles.
- A service charge: This is the rest of the call charge. The organisation you are calling sets this charge and we would recommend you contact them for the latest call charges.
Please note charges can range from a few pence to several pounds per minute. Further information and a number checker can be found
here.
When roaming in other destinations the cost to call a premium rate number will be the same as a standard call when roaming.

How do I activate my JT SIM?
There are a couple of things to check before you get in touch with us to activate your new SIM card.
- Make sure the SIM fits your handset before we activate it
- Check your handset isn’t locked to another network provider. The good news is that any handset that you buy from JT won’t be locked so you can use any SIM card in it.
If you get your SIM card from our JT shop one of the team will activate it in store for you unless you ask for it to be kept inactivated.
If you do receive a blank SIM (in the post or as part of a gift for example) you can visit the store where one of the team will be happy to activate it for you, or you can
contact us so we can activate it remotely.
Remember, if you’d like a blank SIM activating you’ll need to have this information to hand:
- The JT Account number that the SIM card is associated with.
- Valid photo ID if you’re visiting the store.
What’s an eSIM?
An eSIM works just like a traditional SIM card. The only difference is, it’s built into your phone, so you won’t have to remove or replace it, and you’ll still be able to change phone numbers or network providers. We don’t currently offer services for eSIMs, however we are working to do so in the future. Please be aware that some smartphone manufacturers have chosen to ship eSIM-only devices in some international markets. If you choose to import one of these smartphones it cannot be used on JT’s network due to the absence of a physical SIM card slot.
I need my PUK code
Your PUK code can be found printed on the card that your SIM card came in. If you misplace the card, you can find your PUK code in your JT online account anytime you need it.
Click HERE to log-in > Enter your credentials the same as the one you use for your
JT My Account App > Select ‘Get PUK code’.
How do I check my Pay As You Go balance?
- When on island please dial 233 or *#133# and press the call button.
- When you’re not connected to the JT network, please dial *#133# and press the call button.
- Our FREE JT My Top Up app helps you manage your Pay As You Go mobile service when it suits you. Download your free app here.
How do I test my mobile data speed?
Download the
Ookla speed test App from the iOS App Store or the
Speedtest.net App by Ookla for Android handsets.
To help make sure the speed test displays accurate results, please read each of the below points:
- Ensure your phone is on the JT network and you have 4G/LTE enabled in your settings.
- Open the Speedtest app and check that the server is set to JT / Jersey Telecom Limited.
- Press the GO button, then wait for the speedtest to complete.
My phone has been stolen/lost
Don’t worry, we’ll do all we can to have you back up and running as quickly as possible.
You can call us 24/7 on 882882 to report your lost or stolen mobile.
We’ll suspend your SIM card to make sure that no one can use it to make calls, send texts or access data.
You can then decide whether you’d like a replacement SIM card (your number will stay the same) or would like to wait until your phone is found/returned to you.
We recommend letting the police know that your mobile has been lost/stolen. This will give you a reference number for any insurance claim.
