Yackie Mobile and 09: troubles by email

[Bossman]

You should have at least addressed the question regarding the information on your website. A number of people are thinking it's the current information. You should have come straight and mentioned that everything on your website references the "Old Yackie". You should clear that up first before talking about what the new sim will offer.

And as i said last time, this time it is our SIM card, with our development, our SIM profile, Multi IMSI, USSD, Camel, SMS callback, so a total of 220 countries for voice and text, 140 for DATA (Gprs, G3, etc etc ) and much more, and it at this point that we will have something different, the much more.....

This SIM card is in Trial production; few customers and partners are currently using this SIM in many countries for the debugging part

The Public Release is still plan simultaneity in Americas (north and south), Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa and Middle East

We are still thinking that a huge market exist for the right product.....we will see

Have a great weekend

Yes. They did. The email they sent also mentioned that any remaining credit will be transferred to the new sim.

Are these the chineese made dual sims ?

Have had one and they really suck.
Although 2 sims work, you can't select the network on the second sim, in general settings on the second sim are limited.
Second problem is battery life. Have heared many problems on this. Mine had a huge 2-3 day standy time (not making any calls) when making a 1 hour call standby was limited to 1 day (like 15 years ago)
Ofcourse the manual wat made using google translate so half of it was unreadable.
Bought it through dealextreme and they have loads of these crappy chineese made phones.
I can only hope that you have a better more reliable solution that has been tested on quality and the regular chinees phones are what the are cheap crap.

The only good dual sim, quad band on both sims, seems to be the new samsung B5702

I don't like any policy that has my credit expired. I would rather prefer to pay a yearly fee to keep the card active, like travelsim.co.uk and I assume that after 12 month they would just use the remaining credit (if enough) to extend the life for 12 month.
It sound a bit crazy that you have to pay a minimum to get your expired credit restored. Credit is credit and should not expire.

I don't know if the iceland route exists at all these days, seem to have gone out of business. Unless yackie bought the company, you never know, I doubt that they will use Iceland, but Yackie could tell more about that.

"

Autorecharge is a nice option but you should be the one to activate it if you want. The biggest diadvantage is that when your phone gets stolen they have unlimited credit untill you call in and have your card blocked. For that you need a supplier that has 24/7 customer support, so do and some don't.
But it's an advantage that you don't have to deposit a large amount and you can keep credit low.
Just wonder what happend if you make a long call and run out of credit, will it recharge during the call ? or does the call stop, recharge and you have to call again.

I assumed that this was about a dual-ID SIM, not dual-SIM phones

Did you buy one of those Chinese Iphone knockoffs, the Hiphone? If so, how bad was it? I have seen those on Craig's List for $79.
