ICQSIM - new card from UM with GPRS

The 1,25c/KB rate applies elsewhere in Europe then? Someone just replied in another thread saying that it doesn't apply when roaming:

Of course, I imagine I'd have to come to Italy to get this card, but the rate is much closer to what I'm looking for. As you mention, I want to send SMS with MobiSMS (or SMSbug, or Vyke, which I think may be cheaper) and only pay 1.25c per SMS.

The data packages mentioned in above thread are not valid for roaming.
The 1.25c/kbyte / 2.5ct/kbyte is the standard roaming tariff from WIND.

exactly.
But I think most operators have similar standard tariffs as Wind, also in different countries.

yes, but often with 50 or 100kbyte per increment. Which makes it no fun at all. Thats why i also use the WIND card for small things like SMS over GPRS when i am travelling
