I had some family go over to London for the Olympics and Truphone was the SIM i gave them. Other than taking some time to register, it worked flawlessly. I did have to work with Tru as the per minute pricing that I was charged did not match the prices on the web site. They did refund the difference, but it would be nice to not have to do that step.

During my trip to South Korea and the Piranha SIM worked good. The first time the SIM needs to register in a new network takes really long. Round about 30 minutes in South Korea. Back in Germany the SIM needed round about 12 hours to register in a network. During this time I have tried to register with different mobiles.

Does anybody knows what the reason for this is?

The Callback worked really good and the voice quality was also high.

Sometimes I was not direct reachable over the US number. The caller had to try 3 or 4 times to reach me.

The VOIP application worked for outgoing calls good with also a good voice quality. For incoming calls was the voice quality was really bad and I removed the VOIP application from my phone.

SMS are only working outgoing. I' am not getting any incoming SMS. Only the SMS from the Piranha support are working.

The prices are really good and I hope Pirnaha will be longer in business.
