Unfortunately, while eKit data is a reasonable $2.50/mb in some countries (Austria, France, Greece, Ireland, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom) it is quite pricey in others, e.g. $10/mb in Italy and Germany, and $20-25/mb in Asia. eKit have a 100kb minimum charge for data, so each GPRS callback trigger in these countries would cost $1, $2 or more. So, the Betamax callback services are not a very good option for making short calls from eKit sims except in the $2.50/mb countries.

Outgoing SMS on eKit are 69 cents each, better than the data costs in some cases but still not great for triggering callbacks.

Are there no traditional callback services anymore with decent rates to IOM mobiles?
