I look forward to seeing Yackie's new offering. Any word what happens with old Yackie accounts? I've often wondered whether the folks on this forum are the best benchmark. The fact that we are obviously compulsive researchers in this area means that we will be the ones who seek the most aggressive prices. Obviously the least savvy folks just roam with their home carrier. I presume most people are somewhere in between.

From a marketing point of you, have you sought any co-branding deals? Low rates are the primary driving force, but they are not the only one. For example, for many of us passing inbound caller-id would be a nice feature. There are many calls I don't like to take at certain times of the day. For example, I got a call at 11am EST which corresponded to something like 11pm in Singapore. I had shared a bottle of wine with some friends, and had a cognac, etc. I had the most anal lawyer I know on the phone wanting to go through various commas and semi-colons in a a contract with me. There was no way that I was prepared to deal with the call competently then and disclosing that you are drunk and tired isn't always the best strategy even where it is timezone appropriate for you. Believe me, I would rather have screened that call out.
