I agree. These sims are very risky for customers. As Prezmelog mentioned, they can raise prices, or just cease to exist. Both of these happened to me with freeGlobalsim. I had already made up my mind not to spend a dime to purchase any more of these global sims. Unless if there was no initial cost for the sim. And I'll just purchase topup up as needed. So, it's a good thing that they (yackie and Maxroam) were giving out free sims. I really can't see anyone shelling out the initial costs to purchase these sims out right (Yackie and maxroam probably saw that too). For exampe, yacke and celtrek at $49, maxroam at 29 euro. There is just too much uncertaintly at the moment for me to take that chance.

Your only option would be to buy a um+ sim, setup your own callback system and setup your own voip did numbers.
Always keep 2 sims from 2 different providers on 2 networks. If 1 goes out of business you just reconfige your callback and the forward of the did number to the other card.
Also the did numbers are your own so no problem when a prepaid provider goes out of business, meaning you also loose the did number.

Negative side of do it yourself is that it needs some work and knowledge to confige your own pbxes.com server.

The choice is yours.

@YackieMobile

... it is not the 49 bucks, and it is not that you should not ask for covered value on the SIM. I and other customers do not care about 49 dollars, BUT make the system work and do not change all 4 weeks the game rules.

What makes me realy pi...d off is that I have now a new Iceland number, gave it to my customers had to explain why my old 00447624... number is dead and so on ... I mean I do want make business with you guys, I buy a SIM pay money for it, I accept your prices and 4 weeks later you change the prices. Please don't tell me know the USD is falling etc. etc., I don't care about ... the Dollar isn't weak since two days this issue is going on now since nearly 4 years constantly and you had time to build security currency positions to cover currency risks.

That is not the way doing succsefull business, i want a long term business relation and no 2 week partnership. Maybe I want to much or you guys should get out of the Beta stadium. You have one big bonus I do really like, it is your availability here and the availability on the web page (chat) and the nearly fast reaction, that gives a kind of security feeling.

How does the prices now do look like? Raised or not raised?
