Grampa,

You are right and this is the problem with most roaming free card. Everything works fine for some month's and than something happend.

UM lichtensteinnumber was very good untill all carriers increased the rates calling to lichtenstein mobile to very unattractive rates.
UM+ is nice and now a few month's later voicemail seems to come online.
IOM cards were ok but the system is offline now.
Maxroam is a lot of marketing and does not seem very seriously by changing their rates several times in almost 1 week. Also the don't give to much background information on their system so how long will it work ?

My only conclusion is to setup your own system and yes it is more complicated but whenever 1 providers fials you just switch to another one.
You have your own did number and forward id the the provider you want. The cost for doing this forward are only 10 cents. So in every romaing free country calls are forwarded for just 10 cents, which is a lot lower than what other companies are offering. This was all discussed in this thread and some feel that it is to complicated and lesser quality and maxroam is better. Sure maxroam for now is just marketing and it looks like dialy rates chaninging and these rates are 2-4 times higher compared to a do it yourself system.
