All Belgium Base simcards soon to be deactivated

[Stu]

I forward my own DIDs via my PBX. I am also implementing the Digium Skype to SIP gateway so that my mobile can be dialed from the ringtoskype gateway from numerous countries using a local number plus three digit extension.

Like most people on those forum, I am willing to work fairlymhard to keep my price down. Many people want a one stop shop. I presume this is maxroam's target audience.

On phones, I am like my mother-in-law who is a compulsive coupon clipper and organizes her shopping to squeeze every last dollar out of the process. She filled a grocery cart for $15 two weeks ago. The stores will never make money ger. We are the same. The best a roaming SIM company can hope to make off someone who has his own callbackserver, routes his/her own DIDs, etc is a modest profit.

I agree! They really must have a love-hate relationship with most of us on this forum!

Though a DIY solution is attractive on many counts, personally, the one thing I find always ends up costing me more than I had bargained for are some good stable DID's that I can reliably forward to a SIP address of my choice. Though many providers do appear to give you free/cheap DID's, for several countries these are quite restrictive.

I am not up to date with Maxroams offerings, as I will admit I steered clear of them after what I interpreted as misleading pricing on their site. However, for me a "One-stop solution" would involve me having full control over the DID's that they provide. This might involve disactivating the default forwarding to the roaming SIM and instead allow forwarding to a SIP address, fixed line or national SIM. Is this something Maxroam now provide?

It is some thing that WE provide......DID a cost, and full freedom to manage it....

However, your DID's have a setup fee of $4 and require a 3-month minimum rental. Maxroam's does not have a setup fee and is charged only a 1 month rental. Now, I do understand that some of these restrictions are out of your control, but they should still be taken into consideration if you are trying to compare your offering to maxroam's.
