All Belgium Base simcards soon to be deactivated

[frenchfry]

I saw that MaxRoam did not offer the Belgium(Classic Sim/+33) any more. Now they offer UK(Global Sim/+44) with terrible rates.

I just got my Maxroam Classic Sim to replace my Celtrek card.

Boy this game is getting old. I hope they work things out.

Why would a legit vendor sell a product aiming to be obsolete in next weeks?
Their UK SIM is a Callkey rebranded product. Rates are ridiculous.

According to Mobistar new agreement is for 3 years only. Pointless.

This game is pretty much over. Roaming is regulated in Europe. Prepaid offers from carriers are looking more attractive. Remains few markets in Africa and India with increased payment related issues. From a user experience callback days are almost over in Western countries.

I think not.

It doesn't use callback, as Pat Phelan mentioned above.

I can't say I'm attracted to a roaming rate of €2.99 a minute, where my UK networks would charge £1.00 or less. Perhaps that's a glitch or can be reviewed
