Anyone get a new Yackie Sim?

[bbob]

Take from the link to their service manual.

"Our SIM Cards have a fixed service life of ten month. However, they can be extended
for an additional year, by paying a renewal fee."


"Receiving a call, anytime ( on the UK number )** FREE

** You will have for yourincoming call and your outgoing call a local surtaxe in this Countries due to the RPP rules, see bellow the surtaxe fees"

It does not state if the incomming UK numer is a mobile number or a fixed number.

In the past yackie offered the option to have a fixed number in several places in the world and this would ring on your mobile. This would although not be for free and on there site I can't see this option or cost anymore.

All in all the question is how long will these sims last this time. It does not seem a reliable solution to me.

For this reason I have setup my own system, including call-back and incoming fixed lines. This is a better and cheaper solution.

Maybe you don't like the product, but there is more information than this on their website

The SIM has a mobile number, according to a link in very recent post on this thread, and the DID number costs are also clear enough - $9 set-up fee, $9 a month, and "Sorry, this functionality is momentarily closed. "

Yes I see the link now. So Yackie is just another service now like all the other companies offering a +44 mobile number.

It's not about to like or not to like the product, it's more about how reliable a provider is when they are changing there service everytime or when a functionality is momentarily closed.

NONoo

Yackie is not.....yackie is Still the same Service

YOu can select one Number from 40 countries, AND also using a UK number

So you can select YOUR incoming option

You use the UK number , your incoming are free

You you a DID number, Your caller will not pay anything ( local number and call ) and you will pay 0,39 $ flat fees.....

Add to this the Voip account and soon a coverage with 130 000 Hot spot....and you still have the best solution

We have also the DATA roaming

And very Soon....the content and valet service

Yackie....to be continued

Well that is a pity, as most of your users were hoping for an improvement

How do you manage a flat 39c connection fee for forwarding to a UK mobile? Or did you mean 39 cents per minute?

Some of us can manage to reach these numbers for a quarter of that

good question 39c per minute or 39c per call.

I think they mean 39c per minute and this is not a cheap solution. The only thing they are doing than is to forward a voip did number to the UK mobile number and asking 39c for this.

This forwarding can be done a lot cheaper as I explained several times. Calling a UK mobile number should not cost more than 10 to 20c per minute.

So Yackie's service is not really that cheap. Also the prices they are asking for their voip did numbers are very high. This is although normal there are huge diffences in voip did numbers. For some providers you can get them for free, or pay a low fee.

For example a dutch did number cost me 10 euro per year, a belgium did number only 15 +10 (credit) per year. UK numbers can be free (when living in the UK) US number (new york) Free, Italian number Free, there are more examples of the free or low cost did numbers.

The real question is how low will they keep this card working before switching to yet another card.

Andy I know that you think my system is complicated but I can swtich card, providers and my system still works. It's just not for a novice user. Also it is part of my total office call systems which works on voip and mobile.

I think you still not understand

strange for some professional peoples of the GSM world

OKI

i will repeat again

Yackie

One SIM

One outgoing rate = 0,49 $ from every where ( excepted from the RPP countries ) this is simple ?

One incoming rate IF you use the DID selected from 41 counties for your incoming calls ( you select a french number, a US number, one spanish number, and your correspondant call you ON this number, NOT the UK 4476 provided with the card.....and you will pay 0,39 per minutes for your Incoming calls in any countries ( excepted again the RPP countries where you will have to pay a surtaxe )

AND you have also the possibility, if you provide the UK number to your correspondant, to have your incoming calls free

Exemple

You buy a SIm card with a US and a French number....for your friend and your family, when they will calling you to this Number, you will pay 0,39 $ per minute for your incoming calls

and if you give the UK number to your clients, or any one, they will pay a surtaxe because the UK 4476 is a premium number, BUT your incoming calls will be free......

Do i make this more clear ??

Yackie is the global solution

You can select how receive your calls by providing the UK ( incoming free ) or any number selected ( incoming 0,39 )

and off course if you have a GSM Wifi.....incoming are allways free with the DID number by using your Voip Yackie account attached to your SIM

Have a great week end

.

We have stoped to work with Linku, the israeli solution because their services and products was not relieables, they maybe are partner with orange...but i dont see any future for their solution

We will open one European and australian subsidiaries with some real professional from the Mobile GSM world, our technologies now is one of the best and our partners beetween the most efficients of this business

Let's see what the next week will bring for our customers and see if the quality and the services are on the " Rendez vous ".....

We see every day a new company coming with the new revolution....
and many advertising.

On the paper, anyone are the best....like any business we will see in in few months....who will still be in this GSM business

We will not make any advertising here, because some peoples acting in this forums are also in the board from one other company, and we will allways have this in front of us, we will let the clients be the judge.

I know we have the right product, so we dont have any doubt.

this is a long run business....i hope to see all of you in our customers.

cheer

Yes, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_tele...numbering_plan
+447 is for mobile phones, pagers and and personal numbers and +4476 in particular is for UK/IoM pagers and IoM mobile phones. I don't know if pagers still function in +44 but definitely it's not a landline number.
