Yesterday I received my Maxroam simcard so let's try to write a little review too...

It was inside a normal letter, as for bbob, coming from Ireland. Anyway, no problem.

I went to the website to make the activation. I put all the data, chose the number (Italian one) and the simcard was actived. No problems.
I put the simcard in the phone (SE Z160i) and it registered on 3 ITA 3G network very fast. I see the 3 ITA writing and "roaming" just below.

I called the DID number from my Wind mobile and the connection was quite fast, but the Maxroam phone started ringing a couple of rings later than on the other phone. BTW, not a big problem. No call-ID. I didn't answer. But my Wind sincard was charged... After the "non-call" I received a message saying my credit was low and then a second message saying "missed call" from my Wind number.

Then I called from the Maxroam to my Wind number and it went through quite fastly with no problems. Once avain no call-ID and I didn't answer.
I received again a low-credit message and I checked my credit through the sim menu. I received an SMS sayin I have 4.845 €, which is quite strange since I should have 5. I have no idea where the 0.155 have gone...

So, that's all I did by now, but next saturday I'm flying to Belgium and Holland and I'll visit Germany too, so I could test it better, but I'd like to understand why I'm charged also when I don't answer the phone... before buying credit I prefer to know how it works

P.S. I also received a text from 3 to my Israeli provider... "Shalom from 3 in Italy! With 3 you can now enjoy videocalls with your loved ones and download TV news clips directly to your phone!"
