Prepaid Sims - Page 4

I used my Passport SIM from Telestial in numerous countries last October. It worked in every country perfectly and even on a cruise ship. I did not get to Switzerland or Germany though. But it worked in Croatia, Greece, Italy, France, Turkey, Monte Carlo, Spain and Portugal.

I used a Samsung Z500 unlocked quad band phone. Did you test it in the U.S before you left? While it's expensive to test by making calls, SMS is cheap to send and free to receive.

Anyways, forget. I found a better solution. Because in Canada, you cannot distinguish between Cell and Landline. So, i'll probably go with a yackie local Canadian number and have enlinea call me on that number. 0.06 is pretty damn cheap. Unless there's something that I'm not understanding on Yackie's website about ordering a sim card and choosing a "local" number.

If you get called on the assigned local numbers you will pay a surcharge of 29 ct/min for incoming calls.
Iceland is the mobile number of the SIM card. It is automatically assigned, so you can not choose it on the website...

Oh ok.
Thanks.

It's what I thought, but I didn't know they would be giving away free DID's.

My UK # is a +447924. I was in those countries from September 24th to October 20, 2007. It worked well and each city gave me a choice of 3 or 4 carriers to choose from.

Those calls to and from my Passport SIM are still logged on line. I checked and it was 65 calls to and from all those countries.

v360 is indeed a quad-band model. Sometimes they were described as "tri-band" by people who didn't know any better (a common phenomenon). OTOH, T-Mobile in the US used to disable 850 MHz on some Motorola quad-band models (I don't remember if it was the 360 they sold, but it was this series). If this is the case, it can be easily re-enabled by seem editing.

Hello
I have a doubt about Vodafone Passport. Could I buy it in Greece? Does the passport work with a prepaid system? Because If I buy the service I wouldn´t like to make a contract with a mensual bill. Do you know anything about the service price or rates in Greece? Thank you very much

Passport is an option of Vodafone, so it's easy to activate it. It works with a prepaid sim.
Passport works abroad not in your country

Incoming calls---> 1 euro/30 minutes
Outgoingo calls--> 1 euro+ your tarif/every call
