I gave up trying to get relatives and friends to move to top level services like Whatsapp, Viber, etc. and purchased a subscription to Line2 because I didn't want to pay ATT $30 a month. Line2 gives me a virtual cell number which receives SMS and forwards wherever I wanted it to. When I first started, it had a callback service. Unfortunately they pulled that. It costs me $8 a month (buying several months at a time), works VOIP Over 3g, allows me to forward calls on the fly, and gives me unlimited SMSes which I can receive on whatever SIM card I might have in my phone.
If I had it do over, I might look at VoxOx which offers something similar but includes a callbackservice. |

PAYGO working and new plan. Lower PAYGO talk charge
I received my SIM today via UPS 2nd day air.
PAYGO is now working according to CS. Went to the web site and they have lowered the talk rate for PAYGO: Quote:

This may just be a promotional offer for a certain time (although I expect the brand's main focus is on calls made within USA, not roaming). For a while after Lyca launched Toggle, it had free incoming calls in over 140 countries; slightly less than half of that now. |
I just ordered a free SIM, and looking at the order code, I suspect the last five digits indicate the number of orders so far - in which case there have been about 15,000.
I certainly hope Lycamobile can make money at 2c/min. |
I've finally registered my Lycamobile US SIM (in Germany) and my wife will be giving it a try in Miami in two weeks. There were lots of bugs in the website programming (spaces were not ignored, the mandatory login with the phone number had an incorrect 0 on the beginning, some things not translated, etc.).
I notice that the "free SIM" now costs $7. I wonder what that could tell us. Anyway, I can now confirm that it really does cost only 30 cents to receive a call in Germany. Hope they can stay in business. |

It is said on Howard Forums that if you order a SIM and put a $5 topup on it, the SIM will ship free. I have no need to test, but the ones saying this are reliable forum members. |
The 2 cent per minute rate for US to US calls is incredibly inexpensive. Lyca uses T-Mobile towers so people considering it should compare coverage as well as cost with AT&T MVNO's. One website also reports that you need at least one billable event every 90 days to maintain service (cellguru.net).
I use H2O (an AT&T MVNO) for the primary sim in my dual sim phone and Telna Mobile (using mostly T-Mobile in the USA) for the secondary sim card. Both sim chips have inexpensive USA rates, but not as cheap as Lyca Mobile. Lyca won't work for me though because I need the AT&T coverage footprint more in the US. T-Mo is more of a backup for me. Plus Telna has better international roaming rates than Lyca does (at least for Canada, Mexico, non-US Caribbean; European roaming rates are more competitive). |
Doesn't Lyca roam on AT&T like TMO prepaid does?
