Telna Again?

[Bossman]

Sorry to say - This sim has proved to be too unreliable for my liking. Have not been able to reach the phone in the last hour. Message sometimes says the number is not reachable and sometimes it says the local number is unassigned. I was talking to my son on the phone earlier today. I can't depend on this thing. Have to get my son another sim.

Unfortunately I have to agree. Sent a few folks to South Africa a few weeks ago with the Telna SIM and they didn't have much luck, experienced what you described... Telna CS was nice, but was hard to get a hold of to try to work though the issue...

Even though our US carrier is much higher in price, it just works.... Guess ya get what ya pay for...

Might keep the SIMs we have, but definitely not going to purchase any more...

I agree that Telna has not been 100% reliable. I hope you report this to the company. I have sometimes reported "funky" behavior (e.g. failure to register, deregistering, etc.) and their response has seemed somewhat disbelieving. Something seems to be happening that does not show up on their diagnostics. I suspect it has to do with the multi-IMSI SIM technology.
