09 is +354 Iceland. Travelsim is +372 Estonia.
09 is reported not to work in Switzerland, +44 SIMs don't work in some eastern European countries. AFAIK there's no international SIM with free incoming in each covered European country...

Thanks for the info so far guys. Greatly appreciated. Another thing i have found i have to factor in is how weak the aussie dollar is against the pound and how strong it is against the US $. After doing more calculations, i can't seem to beat the telestial card i posted a link to in the opening post. It doesn't have free incoming calls but the rates are good and there is no call back.

Do you guys agree it is a pretty good sim or am i missing something?

Cheers

About rates

* There is a $0.40 USD per minute surcharge when you make a call to a mobile phone (does not apply when calling to a US or Canadian cell phone).

There is a one-time $0.25 USD connection surcharge for each outgoing call.


About callback

3. With your Passport PLUS cell phone

* 1. Dial 154 from your phone
* 2. Press the Answer key and wait for the call back
* 3. Press the Answer key to answer the call


Have you noticed this?

IMHO as long as you are satisfied with the European coverage of Telestial Passport, you should consider another international SIM with +44 7624/7924 (Isle of Man) prefix. It may have free incoming calls in countries of your interest along with similar rates for outgoing calls and charging each 6 seconds after first 30 seconds and no connection fee (unless you consider paying for the first 30 seconds as the connection fee )
