See his reply to me above where he said he could give me a 510 (Oakland) number. (So far nothing but Ohio numbers show on the web site.) I'm sure if they have Okld. numbers - they would have L.A. numbers for sure!
BTW, both the 310 and 323 a/c cover a big area. As i recall, you could have a 323 exchange that would be far enuf away fm. another 323 exchange to incur a LD toll. Make sure, if you have a choice, to pick an exchange that is toll free from your office or home.

I have sent in my order but asked that it be held until a "deal" is worked out with the site managers here.

You can get a free German DID from Sipbroker and/or Sipgate.de. You can setup a free call director at pabx.com or you can use voxalot to consolidate various inbound and outbound DIDs and setup up a call forward using your 20 hours of minutes, but I would presume that the numbers that jackiemobile is providing are voip based.

Are they sip addressable?

O.K. Education time for me. I think i know what DID is = Direct Inward Dial. What is "SIP"?

Thanks.

Session Initiation Protocol, but I had to go to wikipedia to find that out :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session...ation_Protocol

For DIDs or Virtual numbers, Yackie Mobile will soon provide a list of available numbers online.

We can provide German DID as well as 47 other destinations.

US, UK, FR and few other DID are quite cheap. This is why, we offer *one* free number assigned to each SIM card.

For German, Russian or Mexican numbers prices are *super* high. Could be $xx per month for some exotic DID.

Therefore, we will certainly provide a large choice of DID we offer for *free* and a secondary list of premium DID at cost.

BTW, DIDs are not identical. Some are bad - quality, some are not working regularly. We ONLY provide DID bought from national operator.

This route will certainly cause latency and poor quality.

No you cannot use the sim SIP address. :(

As for CBW... :censored:

I suppose Italian DIDs are super-extra-expensive... :(

I assume from all this it would be technically possible for you to offer an "extra" virtual number for some added cost the way most VOIP LD purveyors do. Eg. You could have 2 U.S. or a U.S. and a U.K. number both pointed at the same SIM.

Cisake - One minor "error" on your FAQ page: Many of the Americas, (north and south) really require a phone to have the ability to operate on the 850 band for full coverage. Panama only has 850 service. Don't know if there are others w. only 850. I know in Argentina there are many areas where there seems to have been 850 only coverage.
Your web site says a tri-band 900/1800/1900 phone will suffice. You probably should say that "the user should make sure the phone that will be used will operate on the frequencies in use in the countries being visited. A quad band phone, 850/900/1800/1900 will operate in all areas where YackieMobile provides service."

There are a couple of countries w. 1800 service only. Costa Rica is one.

Is Poland included in those 47 countries, and at what price?

I understand you reaction, but the larger is the diifference between incoming and outgoing rates and the larger are outgoing rates (in the "absolute" values), using callback services brings more savings....
But I don't suggest raising Yackie incoming rates to 49 cents, of course ;)

Users use of phones vary when traveling. In my case, it is needed for incoming a majority of the time. Most of the outgoing would be to a few business associates. In those cases i would simply spend the 49? to call them and have them call me back. It wouldn't be worth it to save a quarter to subscribe to CBW. (Actually the savings would be 25? less the 8? charged by CBW = 17?.) I assume there is a monthly fee as well.

Hate to break the news to you...CBW has no monthly fee.
