GT-Sim Card roaming in the Nordics (Denmark / Sweden) -
21-04-2008, 09:10
Hi,
i am on a businiess trip in Denmark and Sweden this week
so i tried GT-SIM on the Danish and Swedish Networks.
in Denmark it registers on all 3 Danish GSM Networks (i had no
UMTS Phone with me so i could not test 3G)
It worked on TDC, Telia, Sonofon. the funny thing is the CallerID
sometimes it was like +005500 or +1-800-12345 but it never showed
any real CLID.
Same situation in Sweden i could register on Telia, Tele2, Telenor
also the CLID was very strange somtimes even +7.xxxx
the voice quality was sometimes reasonable but sometimes really bad (even under very good GSM reception) i sounds like they are using VOIP for Termination with a very high compression audio codes.
I tried UML+ (from Jersey) on the same networks as listed above and the quality was much better more like normal GSM based phone calls.
And UML+ is only 0,29 € to fixed lines in Germany (this is where i only tested to). compared to GT-SIM the price i was charged is 0,26 € / Minute
the good thing it was charged correctly according to my online bill .

20-04-2008 08:46 |–> OUT DENMARK 496102xxx 3.00 0.26 0.78
but i would say i will stick only the the UML offers not to GTSIM anymore since the price is only 0,03 € more per Minute but the voice quality is much better and UML seem to be a really more reliable company based in Switzerland then GTSIM (i dont want to mention the wrong pricing on the web page).
So lets see i will do some more tests during this week and on my way back to Germany. You will be updated.
Greetings from Stockholm
