Piranha Mobile Sim Card - Page 5

davidtheprof · **problems in Iceland with Piranha -** 17-10-2012, 14:02

was just in Iceland a few days, and had problems with the Piranha sim. Only got data for a few hours in total, unclear why, I had all the settings right (and there was data on wife's phone using UK Orange sim). And the call back system for making calls was spotty, did not always ring back. Customer service said something about their servers there...

davidtheprof · **International Call Forwarding with Piranha -** 19-10-2012, 19:19

Just discovered the call forwarding service on Piranha works for international numbers - this is a unique solution, as far as I know, without monthly charges.

I've tried various things, google voice + Keku, tel3+ speed dial numbers, but all sorts of constraints prevent these from working. I just wanted people who dial my US cell to get forwarded to a UK or other local sim.

I just set my US cell to forward to the US Piranha number, and use the Piranha forwarding service to an international number, et voila. It was 6p/min for an Israeli mobile sim

Pirahna and Telna both work fine with Groundwire on my iPhone. If Pirahna's dialer works with SMS as well VOIP that would be an appreciated welcome. I'm buying a couple of these SIMs for my best friend who moved from the UK to Oz last year. I suspect that they would love being able to use the SIM as a virtual UK mobile number for texting purposes with their friends.

Has anyone tried calling a Pirahna phone SIP URI?

Bossman · 14-09-2012, 17:53

Ordered one of these as well. I have had it with Telna!

Piranha Mobile over the next week will be reducing the Data Rates in the EU to around £0.35per MB. You will find all rates at Piranha Mobile

Piranha will also be introducing call-forwarding and a new feature called call off load. A full explanation of call-off load will be available on the web-site shortly.

no we are 100% correct, and the only way for you to test is to call your Sim number when you have Sim and wi-fi activated together, when you have answered your call check your account status, you will find that you have not been charged for the incoming call. Please make sure that you have a sound internet connection or it will revert to GSM incoming.

New great service from piranha!

OFF-LOAD CALLING

This service introduced by Piranha is the landline or mobile Call-Back (also known as Call Off-Load). The idea which prompted this feature is the fact that traditional Call-Back can be expensive in some countries where inter operator termination (IOT) costs apply, so instead of getting called back on the Piranha Sim, Piranha allows customers to be called back on a local landline or mobile. For example, a customer in India who would want to call Russia, is now able to request a Call-Back to their direct line at their hotel in India, Piranha then connects the call to the intended destination in Russia. The call is triggered using the users Piranha Sim, and is billed to the customer's mobile billing account.

Example:

a. Using Call Off-Load, calling from India to USA, landline or mobile, normal Call-Back call costs £0.56, making same call using Call Off-Load from landline or mobile costs £0.03.
b. Using Call Off-Load, calling from Pakistan to UK landline, normal Call-Back call costs £0.34, making same call using Call Off-Load from landline costs £0.05, from a mobile £0.07.

Call Off-Load Set-Up:

Making cheap calls using Call Off-Load:

Use your mobile to call as shown with the numbers *110* Call-BackDestinationNumber * DestinationNumber # Send.

a. Call-back Destination Number = number where the person initiating the call wants to be called.
b. Call Destination Number = number that the person initiating the call actually wants to call.
Once the landline or mobile rings at your destination, answer the call as normal, you will then be connected to the number you are calling.
