But, as we all know, there has been occassions where CBW just does not work, in which case UM becomes very expensive to use without CBW.

I wanted people to be able to reach me by dialing a local number (the reason for jumping on yackie bandwagon), and GlobalSim + voicestick makes that possible. Voicesticks rate to the 07624 number range is 15cents/min. Both globalSim and UM have free incoming calls in the countries I am likely to visit.


PS: Snidely, I would assume you cannot receive incoming calls on your yackie sim either right. Since they deactivated all the US DIDs.

Just got an e mail indicating increase in rates on geosim...haven't gone through all the various combinations but apparently and especialy makes use of geosim in the USA absurdly high....

As far as voicestick, we still remain with the problem of being charged for a minimum of a 5 minute call for many many calls as they still can't seem to fix the idea of what happens when a call is terminated and despite the fact they have been made aware of the problem, they just can't seem to fix it and to the best of my knowledge they are just about the only provider who can't get this right.
