I am trying to order a sim but I cannot get the order to go through, it says declined no matter what credit card i use but there is nothing wrong with my cards. Anyone have a similar problems like this? Also, they say they accept other payment methods like moneybookers but i dont see how to pay via them. Any suggestions?

I was wrong : the SIM card arrived yesterday, shipped from Israel on 07/27... I will be travelling with Yackie Mobile!

I made a few tests : incoming and outgoing calls are working with an excellent quality on all the 3 french networks. The callback generally comes in 3/5 seconds. Incoming calls get a prompt in french and the phone often starts ringing before the end of the prompt. (VM and all prompts are in french - probably because I got a french number... B) )

I'll be testing it more intensively in Czech Republic and Slovenia in the next 10 days.

For the moment, like many others, I don't have VM notification. It also seems that outgoing SMS never go out. (Therefore I don't have the number to test incoming ones, but I almost never send SMS, and I'll receive incoming ones on my regular SIM card...)

The number I was assigned is not the one I selected, but it's not a problem as I'm going to forward calls from my regular number. And, to end up complaining, the PIN and PUK codes seem to be still in Israel...

Well, except for some minor details, everything is fine! I can call and be called during my journey : that's the most important. So far, I'm a Happy Yackie customer!

Thanks to "Cizake" and UPS...

Good for ya!

I think you will be the first person in the forum that will use the yackie sim internationally (most of us have just tested it locally). I do not think it should work any different being an international sim, but you never know. So, please give us some feedback when you return. Hopefully you bought enough initial credit, since the sim can't be topped up right now. Have a safe trip!

Is the outgoing SMS working for you bossman? I want to buy one but the SMS working correctly is very important for me.

Bossman · 29-07-2006, 22:48

Yes. It is. I mentioned it in my review above too.

I have the same problem. I called a few days ago on Tues after I was "declined" and spoke with CS guy who took my email address & said he'd get back to me. When I didn't hear for a couple of days, I called again and he said they're having terrible problems with the website and that there are many with the same problem. They're hoping to have it fixed "soon", and plan to email those who've called as soon as it is.

I'm impatient, as I leave 23 Aug on long trip, and want it in my phone (which Mike aka Snidely "gave me"

) before I leave. So, you should call them and register your email with them so you get notified.

I'm a tad curious if anyone has tested his Yackie SIM in any satphones yet?

Bossman · 30-07-2006, 22:32

Regarding problem with outgoing SMS, you may want to verify that your service center # is correct. This is what I have: +97254120301.

AFAIR Cizake once said that there's no satellite coverage in Yackie and "Satellite Communication B" in http://www.yackiemobile.com/main/coverage/?part=RS is just a mistake :unsure:
