Gt-sim ?

[RTuesday]

1. Incoming calls are 38?/min. (Got this off their web site tonite.)
2. Outgoing to landline is 26 and cel is 38?. Does this mean to a landline/cel anywhere in the world INCLUDING the U.S.? (I know there is a surcharge when using the SIM when in the U.S.)

Remember these are euro cents, not US$. For calls to numbers in the US, they do charge them all at the landline rate (no easy way to tell it's a cellphone of course).

3. Even though I am in the U.S. I could declare my "home" country as being anywhere they have service? Say I go to France a lot, could I declare France as my home country and get incoming calls free when there?

Don't know. If you ordered it for a French address while in France it would work.

4. Are calls made to a +44 7 number billed the same as calls to any UK mobile? That is roughly 20 to 30? from the U.S. Kall8 charges 29.

Yes. I've seen one or two US companies that charge UK mobiles at a couple of different rates (a little lower for the main carriers, more for "others") although I can't find one right now. But in 99% of cases, rates for all numbers starting +44 7 are the same.

So the call cost is the same as to any UK mobile, with one exception: if you are calling from a UK mobile from within in the UK. In that case, it's considered an international call, usually a similar rate to calling Ireland.

There haven't been any recent posts. Is VM working? I may be dense, but why are so many of you interested in having Call Forwarding working?

I initially tried it while I was in the Isle of Man and Ireland, but I'm now in the US (where it's too expensive, and I have alternatives) and Mexico (where there is no coverage). So it's gone into my sim box until I get back to Europe.

Which is why call forwarding would be handy, to be able to give the gt-sim number out as a contact number (especially as it's actually local to my home base!), but call forward to another number when I'm in the US/Mex.

Voicemail was mostly working but not 100% reliable, the SMS notifications were especially random. Haven't tried it for a while.
