SeaRoam - anyone know anything about this company?

Did you answer any of the callbacks by any chance? Maxroam charges as soon as the callback is answered. It does not matter if you call a totally invalid number or even a busy number. Since this sim is just a maxroam rebrand, that may well be what is happenng. If eh callback was answered.

No, I don't think I answered any. At least I know I didn't answer them, but not sure if the system thinks I did. There is nothing showing up in the call activity, so I hope that means it would register calls.

Same thing with my maxroam sim. Nothing shows in call activity for answered callbacks. But you do get charged for them. I read in some thread that maxroam plans on doing away with the charge though.

Bossman:

So with a Maxroam or Searoam SIM you cannot change your mind after dialing a call and you still get charged at the callback?

With my Ekit SIM after you dial you can accept or reject the callback. And if you accept the callback, a voice tells you how long you can talk. And you can still then cancel and pay nothing.

No. With maxroam (same as celtrek), once you answer the callack you will be charged. So, for example, if you call a totally invald number that does not even exist, a number that is busy, or you hangup after answering the callback, you will still get charged.
