If carriers have rates that are not sustainable (i.e. too low) it is in many cases a matter of policy for carriers to inform the other and attempt to correct this situation for the mutual benefit of all carriers.

We strive to play fairly in this market, and this situation is also what causes poor access to many free incoming roaming number series.
This is going a bit to far saying: fraud to willingly take advantage of a price difference like this.

Fraud is something else. In telecom and voip conuntry there are many many companies offering their service, some charge high rates, other charge low rates, yet others have unlimited calls for a fixed amount per month.

The end user can nver know if there is a fault in the system, like the examples you gave. The end user only sees a cheap rate and will use that. Maybe that rate is not correct because of some error, but how would the end user know that this is an error.

I will give you one vey clear example. Till beginning of this year calling a +44-7624 number through skype would cost the same as to a +44 fixed line number. Yes in that case the end user could now that it might not be correct. But is he commiting fraud by using the service. NO

There are companies offering calls to iceland mobile for 10 to 30 eurocents per minute. When calling using the 10 eurocents are you commiting fraud, because that is what you are saying.

As said I understand your point of view and that error can be made in the rate table but also here it can be part of a business mobile. You want to attract customers and offer certain rates below cost price while yet on other destinations you are making money. This is normal in many business models, attract customers with low rates on a few desitnations andhigher on others.

So please take your words back that people are commiting fraud by using a low pirce service.

On the yackie mobile website www.yackiemobile.com, how does one check call history. The date range is the current date and cannot be modified. But under the VOIP acct the date can be modified. when clicked a date picker pops up. Why is the same thing not happening under the GSM acct. Did not see a call history option on this other page. https://my.yackiemobile.com/
