And Switzerland is still listed as "Swiss". Why the hell has lycamobile built this sophisticated and innovative platform but then totally neglects its website and marketing? If they just gave some love to their website and actually explained the product properly immediately on the start page, they would increase sales dramatically.

Toggle is run on the network of Lycamobile. All things outside normal operation can work but may not. Plesse avoid asking the service special questions.

I would rather say: Everything that has not been tested by one of their customers may not work. Once a problem is reported and fixed (may take few weeks), it starts working for others in the same situation as well.

A friend of mine recently (Dec 2013) got a new Toggle-UK-SIM.

The SIM has several pre-defined country profiles in the Sim-Tool-Kit. To use any given number it still has to be activated via the website, just like before.

"Swiss" is now Switzerland.

The major problems remain: No number-porting, no international data-packages.

Interesting alternative (with its own problems which are different) is www.simquadrat.de (only attractive within the EU - all other countries are 99c/min)

Thanks for the update Chris.

I am very happy with my Toggle Sim. It works great. A dual sim phone is advised until they add data packages.

As an interesting aside, I gave a friend a Toggle SIM card with £10 credit on it for use when calling Poland from the UK - saved him a lot, and he used up £3 worth of credit.

He didn't register the card as I suggested, so when he visited Poland, it didn't access the Polish networks.

This is one interesting limitation of Toggle - useful to know.

(And yes, I have registered the SIM card for him now)...

What do you mean by he didn't register the card? Didn't he run through the initial registration/activation process or did he just not register for a Polish number/IMSI?

Are you absolutely sure he used the Dutch Vodafone IMSI (called "Global" in the STK menu)? Did he also try to register on the Polish networks manually?

[peterdoo]

As far as I know there is no registration/activation process necessary in order to be able to use the card in the UK. You can receive calls there and as long as there is enough balance available, you can call and use data and SMS.

Out of UK no calls or data is possible without registering personal data with Toggle first. When a SIM is ordered online and paid using a credit card, mostly this at the same time registeres the SIM, being able to use it on foreign networks as soon as it is delivered.

It's as Peter Doo says - worked perfectly in the UK, but because he failed to register the SIM card online (I bought it on FleaBay) it didn't work. I DID tell him to register the card...
