Maxroam (aka Roam4Free V2)

nice webpage but i am not really amazed by the pricing.

Incoming calls in europe are between 0,21 and 0,33 cents per minute. Not really a lot lower than the rates the EU has set for incoming calls.

Having a did number is nice but not really new.

Systems like they offering can be setup at lower rates. I have given the example of free interent pbx at for example www.pbxes.com which is free.
You can install 1,2 o3 or more did numbers. som did numbers are free from some countries other cost money.
You can than forward the call to you roaming free mobile.
Written here many time by using companies like betamax forwarding cost no more than 10 cents per minute.
This means that in any of the roaming free countries you can receive a call for 10 cents per minute. This is at least half of what maxroam is offering.

For 10 euro per month you can get the pro version at pbxes an can setup your own callback system. This means you can a preset number. You get a busy tone. You will get a callback on your roaming free mobile (callback cost you 10 cents per minute) than you get the dialtone of the internetpbx and can dial the number you want. You can dial at low voip cost which vary between1 cents (to fixed lines in most countries) to say 20 cents (for mobile calls to many countries) So you are than paying only 11 tot 31 cents per minute.

What is strange about maxroam is the calling cost to a mobile and fixed number are the same in most countries. Take calls to a dutch fixed line and mobile are the same altough in reallity the cost is at least 9 cents per minute different.

So when cost to mobile number are the same and fixed line I feel that you are paying to much to call to fixed line.

The idea is nice of maxroam but pricing is still to high compared to a do it youself solution like I pointed out above.

Receiving calls on your did number in roaming free countries should cost no more than 15 eurocents per minute. Call to fixed line to european countries no more than 20 cents and to mobiles no more than 30 cents.
