I received my sim today. Nothing else came with it...Just a letter indicating my number. Here is my observation:

I actually talked to Mike Thaler "snidely" . Just to verify that we were experiencing the same issues.

I made a couple of test calls incoming and outgoing using my Nokia 3120 (will test the V551 later). The call quality was fine. I dialed directly. I did not have to use menu dialing. The caller ID was not passed on the incoming call (I called with 3 different phones mobiles and land line) . I know it's not guaranteed to show the caller's ID. Well.... I did get the missed call SMS showing the number of the caller though, if caller did not leave a message. How come this shows the caller's number but thhe caller ID does not, I don't know. The callback came quickly without any problems when making outgoing calls. There is a system message that says "connecting" while someone is trying to call the number. I heard the ring the same time it sounded on the phone I was calling. So, no lag time there.

The VM comes on after about 8 rings or so, this can probably be changed. There is no way to check the balance from the phone. I asked that question in the other thread visited by Cizake. And, Cizake said we could do it. Well, maybe it's not implemented yet or there is a code that we need to dial. I think it's important to be able to check the balance from the phone though.

SMS was delivered in a few seconds. Sent to my sprintpcs and tmobile payg phones.

I discussed this with snidely. Neither of us can logon to the website to do anything. We can't access account information or anything. The only available options is to change password/username. You click anything else, you get a blank screen. So, at the moment there is no way to check balance or topup.

So, some things that would really make this sim competitive: The ability to be able to check balance and topup via the phone. I hope the non-showing of caller ID is just carrier dependent and not an issue with the sim.

BTW, I was roaming on tmobile when I did these tests.
