If it is every 20 seconds it would be very good and really make a difference!

Yackie:

I've been waiting patiently for you to come back along with my replacement SIM. Leaving for Europe 15 September... do you think I'll have my replacement SIM?

Can you give us any preview of call pricing.... Country to US? Some of the major European countries?

Thanks.

Hi

Public release for our SIM....August 24, and these are his features

If you have any suggestion for anything you maybe think it's missing, please send me a PM


World coverage, data, voice, text, voip, Inbound DID, long distance caling card, web call back, automatic reload, largest retail top up network, blackberry friendly, voice mail to Email etc many more feature......BUT NO free incoming.....as we will use a regular phone number but the lowest rates in the market will be applyed

I look forward to seeing Yackie's new offering. Any word what happens with old Yackie accounts? I've often wondered whether the folks on this forum are the best benchmark. The fact that we are obviously compulsive researchers in this area means that we will be the ones who seek the most aggressive prices. Obviously the least savvy folks just roam with their home carrier. I presume most people are somewhere in between.

From a marketing point of you, have you sought any co-branding deals? Low rates are the primary driving force, but they are not the only one. For example, for many of us passing inbound caller-id would be a nice feature. There are many calls I don't like to take at certain times of the day. For example, I got a call at 11am EST which corresponded to something like 11pm in Singapore. I had shared a bottle of wine with some friends, and had a cognac, etc. I had the most anal lawyer I know on the phone wanting to go through various commas and semi-colons in a a contract with me. There was no way that I was prepared to deal with the call competently then and disclosing that you are drunk and tired isn't always the best strategy even where it is timezone appropriate for you. Believe me, I would rather have screened that call out.

I also look forward to your sim. What about billing increments?

billing increment will be , first 30 secondes and after that every 20 secondes

Yackie---

Have a trip in September. Will my replacement SIM card arrive in time? (September 15 to be exact).

same tactic for incoming and outgoing calls?

I like the way a thread with a title saying "Perfect SIM Card" has been hijacked by Yackie yakity yak yak. ;)

Yackie I think you are saying here something that will be difficult and I really hate marketing saying you have the lowest rate in the market.

From what I read the forwarding from a did number as u use regular phone numbers to the cellphone will cost something but will be the lowest price in the market ?

I have several did's that I forward to a +44-7 uk number, using voicetrading cost only 8 cents per minute. So receiving a forwarded call in a roaming free country will cost be 8 cents.

So the cellphone can't be called directly ?
So how would you sent an sms, will the local phone number forward the sms or is it like previous cards that you will supply a number for sms but that number can't be called directly.
When making a call what caller id will show up, the one from the local did ?
