Callback World & United Mobile - Changes

prion · 14-06-2007, 12:21

CBW introduced new rates from today. UM is now 56 cents.min! The rate almost doubled!

Has anyone managed to receive callback on the Estonian sim or is it me only who has this trouble??

So this is a good question... anyone using Travelsim with CBW successfully????

Also, can anyone speak to the reliability of SMS traffic on the TravelSim? The reliability on the UM card is stinko, if you ask me. Thanks!

Sadly, it is now cheaper to call the US direct using United Mobile than to go through CBW. Total CBW rate now is $.56/minute, whereas UM rate Europe to US is $.49/minute.

CBW might still have an advantage on a very short call, since UM always tacks on the $.30 setup charge. And of course UM is full-minute billing, which can bite you too.

All in all, sad to see CBW fall by the wayside. ;(

Bummer, I was just about to use this on my trip to china, but at .56$ a minute, it makes no sense.
What about enlinea? Where are they at now?
