Got My Yackie Card - And It's Working Fine

snidely · 07-07-2006, 20:15

Follow-up to my question to VladS about "native numbering".

I am guessing the "native number" would be the Israeli mobile number keyed to the SIM card? If so, to call an Israeli mobile via most discount services is under 10?/min. Via VoiceStick it is 6.22?.
I would be willing to pay that extra 7 to 8? for a "regular" quality incoming call. Actually, if I weren't assigned a "local" number I would assume that would save Yackie some nominal amount of money.

IOW, I would pay 30?/min. for incoming calls of "normal quality" in the dozens of countries Yackie is charging 24?. If they are going after the high-end market of business people who rack up lots of charges - quality means more to them then cost.

I use an LG G6, wife an S7) A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries. My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
