OK, rub it in
, the first SIM I ordered, for use in the L6 was a Yackie card, which I cancelled due to the myriad of issues we all know they've been having. I admit, if I'd been more tolerant and patient, it might have worked out OK. Water under the bridge, as they say.
On the other hand, the experience with GeoSIM has been entirely on the opposite end of the spectrum. The person that I've been communicating with via email has been terrific, even responding now that he's on vacation. He says that it seems to be the phone's firmware. They've never had a problem with the RAZR, but it's very possible the newer phones have slightly different firmware. He's going to investigate it and should he get it resolved, he will send me 2 SIMS free of charge for each of my phones! He's also credited me for the current semi-functioning SIM. Very impressive customer focus and support.
He wants to fix the issue since the RAZR is such a popular phone.
BTW, the FAQ for the CallBlue SIM describes the prefix dialing method for some phones as well.
I want to acknowledge that this site has been extremely helpful. When I first started looking into the options for international mobile use in early July, I never would have imagined what an endeavor it was going to be. I think I've spent an equal amount of time on this as I have on planning my trip! :umm:
