MeSIM™ SIM card rates and tariffs assume fair usage of the Services by you. This includes, but is not limited to maintaining a ratio of outbound tariffable calls to inbound calls of more than 20% on your account. In the event of fair usage not being sustained, the Supplier reserves the right to review the rates and tariffs applied to your account or to terminate the Services and in this event, such termination shall be deemed to have been made by you.

One thing to consider is the concept of Adverse Selection. If a company sets up a product offering based on what they feel an average person will do, then they run into a well informed bunch like we have here, it can play havoc with their business model. While we don't encourage "secret" knowledge of the products (as in the case of a classic Adverse Selection), we do like to explore all the nooks and cranies, to learn all the best and cheapest way to use these products. This is why I would encourage any company to price their products so that they make something on each aspect of the product's use.

I think they are writing this, to cover their a**es, in the case where their business model doesn't work, and they need to revise their P&L projections, without closing shop. I think this will be a term that will be analyzed over their full subscriber list, rather than a single customer. If in fact their model isn't working, they may take the highest percentage of inbound subscribers, and eliminate them. Verizon used to do this with their EV-DO customers. Only the worst were alerted that they may be violating the Terms of Service (I certainly was one of those high users, with my streaming Slingbox, and, thankfully, I never had a problem from Verizon regarding EV-DO service)..

Of course, this is only my opinion, but, it seems more reasonable, then if they are policing every single account they subscribe.

And, in the worst case? OK, you have to lose your account .... just don't prepay more than $50-$100 at a time, and that's your downside ...

Correct me if I'm wrong...

Aren't things shipped outside the eu exempt from VAT?

I have a MeSIM sim card, good website, good customer service and prompt delivery.

The larger SIM card that it arrives on, says powered by Cherry.

Which i have found to be at mycherrymobile.com, available as Pre-Pay and Contract. Plus there customer service is 24/7.
