Got My Yackie Card - And It's Working Fine

[Bossman]

Actually, it's $36 every 6 months for an additional number.

They have now updated their website where by there is no choice but to opt for a free US, UK or France number (The dropdown displays only these 3 countries). One can't go further unless they choose a free # from one of these countries. After that, then the next screen asks if one wants to add another number, Choosing "Yes" then it displays all the other countries/city and the and an associated fee depending on the country/city. For most US cities the fee is $36.

Chooing "No" displays the normal screen with just the cost of the sim $49 + any topups.

Here is a typical message.

"You can buy 12036484723 phone number for 6 months for USD 36"
