Is Maxroam working?

Sure you will support maxroam if they continue to offer these features but be realistic do you really think they can do this and make money. They need some money to stay alive.

I didn't say it was a good business plan. I said their forwarding feature was a great way to use the card between travels (when traveling, I do use the card -- or did).

The reason I'm giving up on prepaid cards is not because MAXRoam might drop this feature. It's because the entire industry seems to be falling apart, and I don't want to take the risk of prepaying for something that has a good chance of not being available when I need it.

It looks like the new MaxRoam website is available now with more countries added (mostly Aran countries) and it looks like that have kept alive the free forwarding features to fixed lines in 50 countries. The rates has also slightly changed (mostly improved). I tried support with 4 questions and received theor feedback in 2 days and sim and credit have no expiry date.
Has any received the new card?
