Global Roaming (former Celtrek) - Page 5

I just received this sim card too. In the test I did here from the US, I was charged $0.23 for answering the callback. So, I think the same happened to you, so $0.10 + $0.24.

I will test this when I travel in 3 weeks and report back.

Outbound call to german landline worked via callback and was charged 34 us-ct instead of 24 us-ct as in the rate calculator.

US DID numbers should have been available since yesterday May 20. Is it correct? What numbers are available? One can choose from web interface?
What are the prices for DID and additional charge to receive calls on DID?
Are the extra web functions mentioned below been implemented?

Both features, view logs and auto-recharge are being implemented as we speak. ETA is 10 days to get it all sorted.

It may be a while before they are fully functional. I received this from Aaron a couple of days ago whe I asked the same questions.

Hello,

Yes- for right now the website is only capable of taking airtime recharges. Our R&D department is working to have the website become fully functional for additional numbers & call history but this may take some time.

To request call history you can email support@celtrek.com at any time.

So has everyone else gotten their new Celtrek/GR replacement SIMs? cuz I haven't, though it was promised to be a month ago...

You may want to try to contact Chris or so to let them know. I have the sim card, but nothing else is doable besides make and receive calls via the Belgium number. You can't do anything online (besides login) period.

Thank you for fixing things ... as noted in a separate post.

I got to Paris on the 9th of June Global Roaming would not register with any of the networks so I had to use my ATT card to call my contact for pickup at the airport. Later in the day the sim seemed to be active for a while and then shut off again. I had nothing for the next 2 days and then I was OK again, but when I tried to use it it would not call back or send SMS. Finally on the 13th it seemed to be fully functional (I could send a SMS) by then of course I was ready to go home again.

This is very spotty- I miss United-Mobile

I am in Nigeria at the moment. I have a local sim and I also plan on using up my maxroam credit, and then use globalroaming sim. So far, for all my calls to the US, maxroam has worked well. Almost done with the credit and I will use globalroaming if it works ofcourse. I will report back when I use it, since I will be here for another week. I exchanged my UM+ sim for easyroam, so I will use that for outgoing calls to the US after globalroaming and maxroam.

I really do not see all these global sim companies surviving, so using up my credit to close to nothing. Just trying to minimize my loss...sorry.

Bossman · 16-06-2009, 13:58

Just to add that I am using Celtrek now. It registered on at least one network. Callback worked well and quality of calls back o the US was quite good. Just as it is with maxroam. For both of them, the call history is NOT online. So, no way to tell how much you are being charged besides approximating it based balance check.

Just to follow my experience with global roaming, my daughter also has a card and she called yesterday from Russia with absolutely great call quality.- must be me
