In Germany, several MVNOs offer discount call rates (10 cents/min) to MaxxSIM mobile numbers (01570-xxxxxxx). For example, simyo, etc.

Solomo currently charges 5 cents/min to MaxxSIM mobile numbers. Interestingly, solomo are going to enhance their range of voip services in February.

Congstar offers unlimited calls to eplus and vistream (including MaxxSIM) mobile numbers for 15 euro/month.

Eplus Base5 contracts offer unlimited calls to all german landline and all german mobile numbers (including MaxxSIM) for about 75 Euro/month - an online special offer. Although normal price is/was 90 Euro/month, last year, Base5 was available online for 50 Euro/month.

Eplus Base2 contracts EXCLUDE free calls to the vistream network (solomo, MaxxSIM, etc).

At last, genuine free incoming-roaming within Europe - and callers need only pay 5 cent/min when calling from Germany. Customers of Deutsche Telekom need only pay about 8 cent/min when using alternative "call-by-call" telcos.

EU countries excluded from Tarif zones 1&2: Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Luxemburg and Malta.

MaxxSIM has beaten MAXroam (Celtrek) to offer TRUE free roaming within most of the European Union.


****

One slight problem: At the moment, MaxxSIM cards are not receiving all of the SMS messages that are sent to them. The eplus SMSC appears not to forward all of the vistream SMS messages to the vistream SMS gateway. This problem is being fixed: a new, bigger router has been ordered.

Tip: Use http://youni-mobile.de/freesms to successfully send up to 10 free messages per day to vistream mobiles (or to any other german mobile). If you need to send more texts, sign-up for more than one free "youni" accounts.
