Anyone tried GoSim.com?
 

I saw another post that mentioned three global SIM sites that aren't part of the matrix on this site.
One of them is GoSim.com They also will swap a dead UM card for one of theirs. The roaming rates are not great, but data rates seem better than some. You can also get a US number paired to your +372.

Anyone tried them or know anything about them?

Thanks

I may be wrong, but I do not think they give you a true dual SIM with two of your own numbers; one being a U.S. number. When they say you are "Supplied with a US number", I think it's just a U.S. toll free number that friends can call to reach you rather than calling you on your Estonia number. They charge an extra 35 cents if you are called on this toll free number. A number of SIM companies had this before the dual SIM's came out.

With your own U.S. number, you can use the phone even in the U.S. at reasonable rates and get text messages sent to the U.S. number.

You might want to confim this.

Thanks, Mr. Black.
I am aware that it is not a true dual SIM. The 800 # is one option. The will also supply a dedicated US # that will, I guess, forward to your Estonia #. There is a $.19 per min charge for that. Given that my kids and their grandmother may have to call me abroad, I'd rather pay the extra money and make it easier on them. There is no way my mother-in-law is figuring out how to call Estonia!
So, no reasonable rates if call from the USA.
I looked into the Telestial dual SIM but the rates (from France at least) were not that attractive.
I was wondering about the service and call quality of GoSIM. With some of the 'big boys' going out of business I'm a little wary of everyone.
Thanks for the reply

Did you take a look at TelnaMobile? There is a thread here regarding it.

djhak:

With the Ekit SIM and their U.S.number your family can call you for 19 cents a minute when you are in France. That's assuming they have a cell phone with a national plan that can call all over the U.S. for free. So if they call you, a 10 minute call is only (including a connection fee) $2.25. IE: 22.5 cents a minute.

Calls back to the U.S. from France are 49 cents with the Passport SIM. Calls back to the U.S. from France are 39 cents a minute with the Passport Plus.

Correct me if I am wrong, but their really are only two variants of the passport sim. The original and the one that has the dual IMSI US/Isle of Mann configuration.

Stu:


The Ekit web site shows two SIMs with Dual numbers. They are the Passport and Passport Plus. Teletsial also shows a Passport Lite.

More ekit SIMs
 

Have anyone tried the service? Because I want to try it myself but I want to know first if anyone is satisfied with their services.

Global Travel looks to be the old Global Premium with the US IMSI tacked on (aka Passport Lite).

Home & Roam can be attractive to some users, especially light UK voice users within that nation, plus it roams on more than one operator there (like other eKit SIMs), right?

Go-SIM is a scam
 

My name is Gabriel, and I’m VERY DISSAPOINTED about GO-SIM services.

First off all, I made an order last year - Order GS1256568 (19/08/2009), for a Manager's Offer and air time, but I never received it. I need it before a travel to UK and I ask them to send it directly to my accommodation place from UK. By the time they replied me and requested a verification of my billing address I was already in UK and was unable to send them this verification. Normally I expected to be refunded but this never happened.

Giving this situation and hoping this time the issue will be solved, I made another purchase this year – order GS12112635 (28/07/2010). I thought this time they will send me the last year sim card and the one ordered this year, or at least giving me a solution for this situation. This time I send them all the requested documents for verification: copy after the CC, copy after my ID, copy after my bank account statement, copy after utility bill. Also I contacted the support team through live response system and……nothing. I came back from holiday and I still NOT received the sim’s. How is this possible Mr. David Agar (GO-SIM's CEO)?

From my point of view I was double-crossed twice and Go-SIM is a scam. DON’T BUY FROM THEM!!!!!!!!

Please excuse my English, because is not my mother tongue language.

bit of a con
 

Purchased a go sim over the phone so I could specifically ask questions as not compatible doing it online. A asked does the credit run out and was told No, yet, come to use it this year and was told the credit about $22 on each card (I had one for me and one for mu wife) had run out and said if I read the term and condition on the website, I would see it’s part of the terms and conditions. Now I never saw that as I ordered over the phone, but I did ask them if they expire and was told they don’t I explained this to customer services but they were uninterested, Now I could be still using their cards, and buying future top-ups, if they would just let me have another sim, if we had to compromise on the credit I would not be happy but something could perhaps have been rescued as it is I get the fealing the main profit in the business to sell card with large topup credits and hope people don’t read the small print only the headline advertising saying it never expires.

Online order - bank refused to authorise payment
 

My recent order for a GoSim card did not complete as the GoSim company did not have complete authorisation to accept payment from my bank.

After a phone call to GoSim they said that I should phone my bank to allow them to authorise the payment.

I did not do this as all previous on-line purchases with many other retailers have had no problems, therefore, I did not proceed.

I have since found that my email account (that I used with GoSim) has had several attempts to hack into it from several .es addresses - Estonia? Is where GoSim is based despite having UK contact details.

GoSim - secure web page?
 

Having tried to establish what went wrong when I tried to pay for the Sim card, I attempted to watch more closely what was happening on the payment page...

The page is not secure, i.e. no https:// before the www, also no padlock on the browser page.

My security software also identified that the page was not encrypted.

Despite my phone call to GoSim, they insisted that it was.

they have a iFrame on their website which contains the HTTPS secured payment site from telestial. So that is OK from their side. (See screenshot)
