![]() Actually, it's still not a bad idea to test it. Even though they list free call forwarding as included, you never know when thay may change and start charging for it. Usually they will inform users before doing so. I actually tested mine with several destinations (including my united mobile #), just to make sure it's free. Every destination I tried except UM (connected about 50% of the time) connected 100% of the time. When I am in the US my IOM sim stays forwarded to my US mobile, so that my family in UK can reach me out of the included minutes on their mobiles.

![]() Well, I tested it, and its working, and for free.
The caller only pays for the call the my UK +4479 number. I don't pay a cent. I tried forwarding to my Belgian cellular phone, and I'm not charged for it. So that's one phone less to carry when I'm in my home-country. Thanks for making me test it ![]() Belgium: Proximus Smart+ 15 (+32 496 contract) Voip: Weepee-voip.be Phones: Apple iPhone 32Gb 5S |

![]() Thanks guys. The free call forwarding works for my Czech mobile number. No problem.
BTW anybody tried forwarding to 09 or TravelSim number? If so what are the results? Incoming Thuraya did work for free with GeoSIM. Tried last year and wrote short report about it. Dont know the current situation. |

Whereas those rates are really too high, I really doubt if the termination rate for +44 mobile might cover satelite termination rates... |

![]() Only thing I have found worrying is that there are 60 free minutes to free call numbers for teh life of the card. But will see.
