Bluefire Wireless = Bluefire Worthless

I may be wrong, but I also think some phones do not handle USSD properly either. Also, I think things with the USSD system have changed in the last year.

I have an EKIT Passport SIM. In October 2007 all over Europe my Samsung Z-500 and the Passport worked well. I always get a ring back and did not have to enter any special "string" codes.

Then last April I took the Z500 and a new Motorola Z6C world phone to Europe. I never got a ring back on the Z6C. So I had to use the sms/text method to get a ring back and make calls. Suddenly the Z500 did not ring back normally as it did last year. But it worked if I entered a string code (*102*) before the outgoing phone number.

I bought bluefire sim card couple of years ago. When I tried to buy more credit, I was unsccessful doing so. I called the Company, and they gave me so many different excuses. Basically they said that they are not the same comany; go figure. Bottom line, this comany are nothing but thievies. I do not recommend them.

These prepaid companies go through a lot of changes. A lot can take place within two years.

I bought this phone during a flight (and on an American carrier) a couple of years back and have not been able to activate it. I contacted the company without much success.... they don't even have a phone number that one can contact them at.... Personally I think this is all a scam. I would rather buy a Sim card wherever I travel to, instead of wasting money buying this on a plane. I think that the airlines should NOT promote these products. It was US$70 just Wasted!
