I doubt they would allow such a forwarding. Thuraya is the cheapest satelite to reach. Iridium is much more expensive. So if you can not reach Thuraya you should not expect to reach other satelite networks....

Thumbs up eKit Global Premium SIM (+447924) - 06-02-2007, 13:33

Last week I ordered the cheapest eKit SIM on ebay (£5 + £2 for shipping).
Object: 290078012861.

The card includes a US$20 credit (advertised: £10).

Now, the card only allowes receiving free calls in these countries:
France, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, Mexico
But, I couldn't resist the free credit, so...

Anyway, not to go off-topic (my topic )
I setup forwarding to my Belgian phone, not covered in the free roaming, and guess what, I was NOT charged for receiving the call, NOT charged for setting up the forwarding.

Just nice to know huh?

And it even gets better !

They have some free (or close to free I assume) access-numbers for your relatives left at home. They call the number, enter your eKit number, and get connected to your phone. It even works with the forwarding.
I tried to call the UK 0808-234-number, and my Belgian phone rang.
And no charges


Sim:
Belgium: Proximus Smart+ 15 (+32 496 contract)

Voip:
Weepee-voip.be

Phones:
Apple iPhone 32Gb 5S

Good work. I have ordered one as well. For 7 pounds including postage I will get more fun than I deserve.

How do you set this up? In the instructions it says dial 102+ (number). This does not seem to work for me. I even just want to forward to one of the "free" countries.

On the ebay shop it says call forwarding is not supported at all for any of their cards on offer.

Strange, I did it with 102+number.
Maybe you can try another phone. It was not working in my Sony Ericsson T105, but it is working in my Siemens S55. Haven't tried my Nokia...

ygeffens, did you simply just dial "102+32499887766" and then hit send?

Where 0032 499 88 7766 is your mobile number in Belgium... though obviously it is not... (I hope)

That's exactly what I did.

To prion:
I didn't know, but since it was working with the Geodesa card, I assumed it should work with the eKit card as well, and I did.
I'm using it at this very moment.
