I al depends on how you want to use the did. If it's only for a small time, a trip than setp and 3 month are more expensive. For a longer time it's cheaper.

I checked my paytoomobile account and looked at the did rates. compred to other internet rates the do not overcharge and they are fair.

But when using voip you might as well use it at home and your business, I have done that for several years now. Your own intenret pbx rented or linux server (depending on size) is than the best option. You don't rely on 1 provider for telphony and have full control.

Maxroma and paytoomobile are nice solotions but not complete voip solutions when you want to have full voip control.

Both Irish institutions Commission for Communications Regulation - ComReg and Home - Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources replied that Cubic Telecom/Maxroam has no licence to operate spectrum in or out of Ireland.
The company has not filed for Licensing of Wireless Telegraphy Equipment as they call it.
According to their response it would be illegal for Cubic Telecom/Maxroam to operate/sell in Ireland under a licence acquired in the EEC without having a proper Irish licence.

The Data SIM sold by Maxroam is a Liechtenstein based product HLR 89423.
The Global SIM +44 is a Jersey Telecom product.
The Classic SIM +32 is a Base Belgium product (soon obsolete).

Maybe patphelan can explain.

On a mission to attack maxroam are we ?

Who cares is they are an mno, mvno or if they can call the moon. Ratex are not impressive comparred to regular EU sims and other roaming free card.

It's just marketing, modern technology, no callback, yes like your normal sim. Just stop this mission are slap them with fact, ratex etc.

Good point is what will they do with their +32 Platform.

Drop the mission perspective Bob. It's a forum about prepaid gsm cards and dealers are misleading potential buyers. We should be able to make the light on what is right and wrong here.

Maxroam coming in here saying they are a MNO is a joke. You know it, Andy knows it. They are not even a MVNO. They are a basic reseller like so many others on this market.
Their rates are more expensive then any EU carrier.

Marketing doesn't mean duping buyers.

Tele2 in the Netherlands offers calls from USA to anywhere in the world for 64cts, no call back and all prepaid. I bet they will be around in 10 years from today. That's half what Maxroam is charging.

I ordered Cubic Telecom financials and they only reported 130.000€ in sales for 2009.

The industry is crippled by lousy calling card sellers. Same goes for United Mobile, Celtrek, Yackie, Bluewireless, GT sims...

Yackie's permanent intrusions on threads is a disgrace to this forum. Maxroam lack of response on the Base sim card ongoing sale is no more but an insult to all board members. They might want to port those users to Mobistar (sim swap mandatory) as states the Press Release on my first post but if you read it throughly you will see that the Mobistar agreement is for 36 months only and not with Maxroam but Tellink.

Assuming Tellink will lose in court against KPN that leaves all current subscribers with a lego plastic square.

Only Truphone and Travelsim seems to be making some progress with strong IT teams. The rest is just a waste a time and money.

Buyer beware!
