ICQSIM - new card from UM with GPRS

Virgin UK is 0.5p/kB even when roaming; I think they said 1k units, but it might be less. Most of the Java sms-substitute or callback applications use 1400 to 1800 bytes per go.

Wow - $.01 per KB is quite good for international data. Know how often you have to recharge to keep your credit from expiring? Looked on their site but couldn't find it readily.

I use my virgin sim primarily for data roaming. Heck! it's about half of what AT&T charges. I have used it in quite a few countries that are not even listed on their website. Including just about every caribbean island I have been to. Even on the cruise ship!

I believe there has to be some activity (topup or usage) once every 365 days. However, I have read of people not using ther sims for longer than that and it's still active.

Ok, back to icqsim: can somebody confirm ssh isn't working (maybe on a different provider). Also some other useful ports would be nice to know if they're blocked or not like 995 and 465/587 (POP and SMTP with encryption, what gmail uses, and now that we are on that Google Talk would be interesting to see if it's working; I would look up the ports but I guess it's easier to just test with any client if it's working).

The rates are fine really but not so if all you can do with it is ICQ

by the way: UM announced to start a 2nd data-SIM card soon - which can use ONLY data. The rate will be 99ct per MB. Same countries like the ICQ-SIM. The range of countries will be about 30 to the end of the year.
