So the "home country" appears to have been totally withdrawn, at least in the rates tables. Really kills the main selling point, which was a number that you could use in your home country then add other numbers to when you went overseas. With a monthly fee required to get sensible per minute rates, it becomes uninteresting as a home country number, in most cases.

No, you have misunderstood.

You get local rates for your home country as standard.

They have changed the US rates also. The US receiving a call rate has increased to 15cents [from 10cents, I believe]. The former send/receive US SMS rate was 12cents. Now receiving SMS is free. Does anyone know of ANY other prepaid SMS that has free receipt of SMS to a US number?
