Piranha Mobile Sim Card

This is where you are wrong.

These people are not ripped off by the +372 numbers (termination isn't more than 0.15$ -- this also means that betamax is cheaper than the official termination rates). They are ripped off by their own carriers who are charging so much to call these numbers.

If people still keep using companies that are abusing them, they are free to do so.

But as I said, re the contacts this is an issue for, it is cheaper for you to call them back (via callback on Toggle + Travelsim) after they ring you than it is to accept the incoming calls with Piranha.

In the 2 years I have been using the +372 I never had any issue of carriers blocking calls.

The only issue I had was when new area codes where released which some telcos didn't know about and so the calls didn't terminate until they corrected their routing to terminate properly to these new area codes (i. ex: the new +372-8x).

What I can say after having used the onesimcard (travelsim) for 2 years now, is that this SIM is on the same quality level as the most expensive contracts I have used (this means that it is much more solid than the Toggle SIM, which I am also using - sometimes incoming calls or SMS don't come through with Toggle, a minor issue which isn't really bothering me as the rates are very low).


But I agree, if you prefer to call direct, Piranha looks like a good choice outside of Toggle (but then again, betamax call back is working so well, why would anyone want to pay so much more for their calls?).

You see, a long time ago after some multiple outrageous bills I have made the choice to not let myself get abused anymore. My landline phones have been set up to call out exclusively with betamax for the past 8 years; the same applies to my mobiles.

The result? My phone bills went down from several hundreds to less than 10$ per month (some countries I was charged up to 1 or 2$/min to call were suddenly even free to call). It is cheaper also for local calls.
