![]() If no response to an email, suggest call their customer service department from a landline and explain the situation. When I had a problem a few weeks ago with voice calls being blocked but SMS working, I called them on a landline and they quickly fixed this while I was on the phone(an email I had sent prior wasn't answered so I called). I made a test call on my mobile phone while they waited to verify it worked.

![]() We are also using the Estonian solution (the Swiss/Austrian TravelSIM and the Latvian GeMobile) with absolutely no problems at all.
They are really good and trustworthy. |

![]() The trouble with travelsim still remains the high termination fees for calls to Estonia that make call forwarding too expensive as compared to UK numbers and its inability to work properly with callbackworld.

Last summer, I used UM for a trip through Europe...my ld company was only charging a 1¢ termination fee to have calls forwarded from my landline to my UM mobile for a total of 11¢/minute...I could call using cbw back to the USA for 14¢/minute...what could be better? Then as you know things changed drastically....termination fees to Liechtenstein mobiles shot through the wall..suddenly cbw was charging 59¢/minute for calls that I was used to making for 14¢/minute...termination fees rose to something like 31¢/minute on my ld carrier so the same forwarded call that last year cost me 11¢/minute was now 41¢/minute...ouch so of course I started looking for alternatives. I considered the Estonian mobiles but found termination fees were even higher and cbw didn't work...what should I say...should I be happy paying two or three times as much as I was used to. Now maybe I am spoiled but as with everybody else, I will always try to find what I consider reasonably priced ways of dealing with my communication problems and although clearly Estonian mobiles are a better deal than international roaming on either AT&T or T Mobile US, they are not a better deal than what I had on UM in the past. So for me, travelsim is not a great deal; perhaps if I were new to this whole thing I might feel differently. In all due respect to you whose opinion might differ. |

Until this month that is. ;( Just got the first ever bill with a mobile termination fee- total per minute is now 38 cents. Not terrible, but slowly and surely the Liechtenstein workarounds are going away. FWIW, I still use CBW with UM Liechtenstein because of the 6 second billing and no setup charge. I can make a call home to tell them to call me with only 18 seconds or so of billing. Kupe |
