Maxroam (aka Roam4Free V2)

Sounds nice direct to maxroam servers and than to sim.

If this is the case than maxroam must have the status of a network provider like manx telecom, jersey telecom or any other cellphone operator. The situation we see now with the manx card for example is that manx telecom is the network provider and callkey handles everything.

If what you are saying is right than maxroam must be a true provider having their own network directly connected to the gsm phone network.

I don't think that this is the case as you just don't become a cellphone provider like that.

Knowing this the signal still has to travel from their servers to the server of the provider. In this case maxroam must be something like callkey.

I agree that their route should be a bit shorter and safer.

But again I keep telling this over and over again, their rates are just to high. Why would a lesser service like the pbx route be cheaper than a directer route maxroam says having. With cheaper it's a lot cheaper not just a few eurocents.

Right, at the moment, they may not have the best rates, but I think that changing the rates will be something they will handle first, then they will eventually introduce new features. I'm very curious what their data-offer will be. Calling without a callback-system sounds nice. With some cards I'm having a problem receiving the callback, something that can be avoided when elimination the callback.

Let's wait and see. I think some people are to negative for a company that just has started. Agreed, it would be more 'pro' to come up with a finished product, but then again UM created UM+. UM was there for a long time, and they too had difficulties starting up (but they had their rates correct from day one ).
