My experience with Onesimcard.

[rfranzq]

I have been very happy with it.
I got my SIM from them taking advantage of their United Mobile SIM card swap offer in early May 2009:

United Mobile SIM card | Free SIM Replacement Program

It included $10.00 credit. I was finally able to use it in Europe in December. It worked well. I also have ekit cards. Each SIM has different rates in various countries and having more than one SIM can give one a certain flexibility.

Some things I really like about OneSIMcard.
1. There is a link on the web page for sending free SMSes to their cards.
2. The cards have an email address:
3725xxxxxxx@sms.onesimcard.com
So anyone can send an email from a computer.
Receiving SMSes is free so this is great. No subject is received on the email and there is a 160 character limit on both.

This afternoon, I set up the SIM for an aquaintance who is going to Asia for about 6 weeks. Hong Kong, Japan, Philipines, Vietnam and Thailand. OneSIMcard has decent rates for these places.

Thank you rfranzq, I'm glad you have enjoyed using OneSimCard. It's always great to hear feedback from customers, both the positives and negatives of their user experience. If I can help with any support down the road just let me know.

I received my OneSimCard in the mail yesterday and activated it online. I put it in my old K700i phone, which is a triband (800, 1800 and 1900) but so far, it cannot find any networks. My Nexus One which I think is a quadband phone, has the Truphone Local Anytime and that one finds Rogers easily. Not sure it is because we are in rural Canada, I guess the best way to find out is try and pry loose the plastic case and swap cards I'll keep everybody informed Boy, this playing with sims is getting fun

Well, the next step is to get a dual SIM phone.

I know you have [at least] two international SIMs now. This will give you some options [and backup] that one card could not have. Also, 'one will be better' than the other in various situations and you will at least know you are saving some money in different situations--even if it is still too much or not much saved.

Hi Sophia,

You will likely need to use the GSM 850 band if you are in a rural area. GSM 1900 is primarily for urban areas. Let us know how it works in your Nexus One.

Thanks,
James

Problem solved Today I went to town, and reception was flawless there, thanks also for the technical help from Axel F of the support team trying to sort this problem

I got 2 sims, I ordered the Truphone after Celtrek went belly up, and then I traded the Celtrek sim for the OneSimCard because I had nothing to lose anyway That is enough, one can be used by my hubby and the other by myself, both will do fine.

And I don't think I can quite get away with buying yet another phone, after spending $650 on the Nexus One, haha.

Best $0.0 you ever spent! [Loonie or greenback]

And here is some good news of the last month or so:

New Toll Free access number for customers in the U.S. or Canada to retrieve voicemail for free: 1-866-703-4770.

And here is the bad news:

First you need to call to the voicemail from your OneSimCard phone and set up a password.

At least in Canada you will not spend half your free balance setting up voicemail. I just had an opportunity to send the SIM with someone on a trip and asked that they set up voicemail on it.
And you can always use SMS.

UPDATE: There's no longer a need to make an international call to set up a voicemail password or listen to messages. We just added a new feature where you can now listen to voicemail online by logging in to your account and clicking on the Voicemail link. There, you can also set voicemail to be emailed to you as an audio file and change passwords or other settings.

I would love to hear more suggestions from customers on ways we can improve our service.

Thanks!

When i click on the voicemail link in my account i end up in my 'voicemail cabinet' in Russian instead of English. Onesimcard, how can i change this into English?
