I am overly surprised with all comments here. We have "prepaid smarties" from all corners of the world commenting like little children with little brains. Like I said, we are not competing with callback sim cards that go out of business every year, and compares with our product like apples to oranges. The good thing about our SIM card for USA customers, is that our rates are 30% cheaper in most destinations from the 2 other carriers in USA, ATT and Tmobile, and all taxes are included vs. ATT, they charge $0.99/min. in EU, plus all fancy taxes which amounts to another 20-25% on top of the $0.99/min., and our rates are less in many other countries. So lets compare our service to Mobal or other similar deals. We offer postpaid on all our services. I hope this clarifies it all.

For US customers, it may be cheaper than their home networks' roaming rates, as you point out. But some of them can find cheaper deals using call forwarding to local or global SIMs. For people in the rest of the world, their home network SIM can be cheaper for roaming, as Effendi and I pointed out

Perhaps you might consider a marketing policy avoiding personal abuse of potential customers.

We are not behaving like little children, we are merely observing that your initial claim to be cheaper than all competitors is unsupportable.

I'm re-reading your first post here, which you edited a year later, perhaps not realising that the original still appears in a quote. Thus we can see that you initially followed the old tradition of pretending to have found your company's website by chance. Do you still have the product with the bargain $210 monthly rental, by the way? And I see a banner on your site about free incoming calls in UK, outgoing to USA at 59 cents a minute. The cheapest UK SIM rates are 2p/min to USA at the moment, with several at 3 to 7p.

Kindly don't patronise our tiny brains any further, thank you.

Do you bill per second for the calls made while roaming?

By saying WE are not competing I understand that you are linked to this company ?

I have asked het mod here several times that compnies offering services should reflect this in their username or in their signature so everyone knows who is a user and who is a company offering products.

Now it looks like you are just a user posting here but by saying WE it more looks like you represent this company.

So please let everyone know here if you represent the company or are linked to them.

Please reread first post and you'll clearly see that I represent this company.

There's no need to patronise us further

Maybe from the first post on the thread, but perhaps you weren't quite so explicit in your first 'stumbled-upon' post on the forum (below). Even in a post as recent as last November, you were referring to the company in the third not first person

If you respresent the company this should be clear to everyone. Either your username should be the company name or in your signature you should mention your company name.

By not doing this it's not clear who you are and to which company you belong. If you post in other threads no one knows you are a supplier and it's not my job nor someone elses to read every sinle one of your posts.

To the moderators please do something about this. Have suppliers mention they are suppliers either in their username (can be change in the backend) or force them to use a signature.
