yackie mobile changed min usage

Don't like the new $5 minimum policy.

Use the Yackie sim primarily for November to January trips to non-US Caribbean destinations(supplementing my regional Digicel prepaid sim card and an Iridium handset). They cancelled my local DID despite doing a test call/SMS after they sent a warning email. I activated the local DID again, and they cancelled it a second time. I just reactivated it a second time.

Don't like the way Yackie is playing games with their customers. While I understand that a local DID number does have costs, a minimum useage policy is not a "free" number. A more palatable solution to me would have been a cellular PBX, where everybody would have the same local access number but a different 5 or 6 digit internal exchange number. Think I will just use up my Yackie sim card, and not add any more airtime.

Thinking of just getting one of the new UM +423 Data sim cards as a replacement.

Same here. I had the second number for 3 days and got a cancelation email this morning.
