We'll do it without registration or anything. It's now on the roadmap.

Since our first market is the US, we didn't think it would make sense to offer number on the Isle of Man or Liechtenstein or Iceland where the outrageous rates for incoming calls sponsor the calls. That prevent us from offering free incoming calls like some other services, but at least it's easy for anyone to reach our numbers and we are building a long term business model that ensures the users know the real costs.

We'll add the data service shortly. We're working on making sure regular customers don't leave their data on at night downloading useless stuff and ending up with a few thousand dollars of data. From our experience that's the most common trouble.

I completely understand that. Anyway I wonder why there's no roaming discounter based on a MNO from the European Union, who would benefit from EU-regulated data wholesale tariffs.

That sounds well. Since your service is postpaid, I would appreciate if there was a configurable cap for daily data costs.
