A friend by e-mail told me that GT-SIM has changed its rates for SMS and GPRS (which were never billed till little time ago, if I'm not wrong) from ? 0.09 to ? 0.18 and ? 0.10/10KB to ? 0.18/10KB which is really a BIG difference compared to the old rates!

On their site they still write the old rates in the homepage and the new ones in the rates page... :thumbdown: but it seems they are billing at the new rates already...

Quite a bad move from them...

send them email to checl :beer:

So, it seems that Globalsim Holiday may be better a choice now: SMS for 19 cents but data 14 cents/10 kB....

On May 2 I paid 9c for SMS using GT postpaid.

Don't forget there are 2 GT-SIM offerings:
http://www.gtsim.com/ Very expensive
http://gt-9.com/websites/gt_sim/index.php?lang=eng Much cheaper

Look at the "cheaper" option and click on "prices", you will see the new ones...

:ranting2: Yep we are in deep shit, mate.

I see SMS 39 - landline 49, mobiles 69 and roaming (inbound?) 49 for 50 euros.

I agree - :thumbdown:

Effendi, did you mean this?

*** COUNTRIES COVERED WITH ROAMING CHARGES

http://www.gtsim.com/ is in AU$ aka AUD = Australian dollars - they are worth less than euros, that's why nominal rates are bigger !

Yeah but looking at ?uro prices they have highered SMS, GPRS and some extra roaming charges as well...

Hmm, so even Mobal has cheaper GPRS than GT:
http://www.mobalrental.com/gsm/gprs/?source=0092XXXXN
$19.55/MB is less than ?18 in GT :-P.
(OK, Mobal seems to have 200kB "data debiting" whereas GT 10 KB...)

There's MANY extra roaming supplements. So much for their flat-rates, and plans to reduce the US supplements, they've added lots more instead.

Increasing prices 100% (SMS) or 400%+ (some Caribbean islands) without any notice is going to give some people a shock on their bills (and lose them some customers).
