I am looking at the callblue website and have a question. On their website they have a coverage page with countries listed. However, on the Rate calculator they have many more countries. So, why dont they have all the countries listed in the rate calculator on the coverage page? Which list is correct? Anyone know?

The correct one is the coverage page...

Yes I just went through this with them as well. I was trying to verify whether they actually had coverage in a particular country.

Callblue's explanation to me was:

<<The rate calculator has a list of all the countries with a GSM service. Thsi does not necessarily mean that the CallBlue SIM card works / roams in that country. The reason why this list is there, is because our home network, MANX always updates their roaming list and in turn if a country is added on then we will not have to spend alot of time maintaining several databases and updating them. We also have a clause above the rate calculator that reads " * NOTE: The service is based on availability outlined in the Coverage List ">>

Hope this helps.

Yes, I understand their point but why the hell they list rates for countries where they have no service? Do they predict/guess the rates just in case when Manx Telecom signs the agreement? :D

And it's not true about listing all the countries with GSM networks. S. Korea and Japan are on the list, too, whereas they have no GSM. I guess these GSM/3G countries, to be precise :unsure:
