I just remember to everyone that it's FORBIDDEN to use 2 accounts on this forum and totaly useless to start a fake dialogue between the two. We see all ip numbers of the users and we are not stupid. So let's all behave in a more clever way...

When I saw the rumored link between GR/Celtrek and Maxroam/Cubic posted(certainly logical because both use BE), I decided to try my Maxroam card that only had a very small balance on it (guessing 6 or 7 euro left). While it registered on AT&T USA, the balance check just came back with a zero euro balance. Was going to use up the rest of my balance on an upcoming trip but I guess that decision is made for me. Have plenty of other communication options.

Getting real tired of dead callback sim cards though. I've gone through travelfone, yackie, maxroam, um/riiing and um+. Really hoping the ekit simple calling card I got over ebay lasts longer....sixth time is a charm?

It has been stated that Maxroam is not affected. I bet there is something else going on with your Maxroam sim.

GadgetKen is correct. I had a couple of euros or so left on mine. I just checked my balance and it came back as zero. May be they did some kind of update that wiped out the balances on some sim cards. I will not waste my time contacting them. My plan was to just use up whatever little I had left on it anyway.

I'm guessing MaxRoam wiped out balances on sim cards that were inactive for a while and/or had low balances. Agree not worth pursuing for a few Euro on a card that I was going to get rid of anyway...while customer service was good, the alternate dialing procedure was cumbersome, online account access was difficult, and the MaxRoam rate calculator was frequently down. The ekit Simple Calling card seems a more polished solution for my needs; I'll see how it works out.
