Hi all,

Always been a key viewer on this very interesting forum but first post!

I am representing CallKey and a few of you will be familiar with the name, although we tend to sit in the background as we are a wholesale white label company, only dealing with Distributors and not end users.

This is an interesting thread and i speak with the experience of the old CallKey company having serious problems. It is no doubt true that with the Euro tariff being enforced it does leave reduced margins with fewer savings to be had (within the EU). That being said, and as a typical example travellers to Dubai in UAE can save bundles in comparison to the very high roaming charges that UK network operators impose. This applies to many more countries worldwide.

The US has always been a potentially huge market but the one big obstacle has been what is called MTC (Mobile Termination Charges). This is exactly why we have signed the deal to provide our Distributors with UK / USA Dual IMSI SIM cards. These will offer free inbound in the US, roaming nationally on ATT&T and T-Mobile. On top of that outbound calls from the US to EU will be the equivalent of calling within the EU. Check with your local network operator your roaming charges in the US and see the real savings to be had. This Dual IMSI SIM will see ourselves, our Distributors and ultimately the end users benefit from tremendous savings, and at the same time being profitable for all parties.

Thanks

John

GeoSIMs Dual Number UK/US SIM will have coverage in 203 countries. Both the UK and US number will roam in all countries and have free incoming calls in the US. The US will become "part of Europe" in terms of calling when in the US.

Much of the additional coverage is in Africa, Middle East, South and Central America and a number of island states. In total an additional 68 countries over our standard GeoSIM.

We are updating our site as we finalise details on call pricing but the coverage list is here
