My experience with Onesimcard.

snidely · 02-08-2010, 04:59

Is there a requirement that a certain percentage of calls be incoming or outgoing? I could see using your card for outgoing calls in many countries (next trip is to Brazil, Argentina, Uraguay). I would never make use of an Estonian based service for incoming - but your outgoing rates are low comparatively speaking.

Thanks.

We do not currently have a "fair use" policy included in our published terms and conditions, but as bbob mentions that would only apply to someone using our service almost exclusively for incoming calls.

Keep in mind that your callers do not need to dial an Estonian number to reach you, they can dial through one of our common local, toll-free or international access numbers, or you can order a personal second number (US/Canada/UK). It's 29c/min extra to receive a call through any of these numbers, except for the UK number which is only a 25c connection charge per call. All rates can be viewed online at http://www.onesimcard.com/cell-phone-rates/

The 29c/min rate appears to apply only with respect to calls made to a personal second number; calls made to a common access number add 35c/min. At least that is according to the rate schedule listed here:

International Cell Phone Service Rates - OneSimCard

Am I reading it correctly?

Thanks for pointing out that error, it has been fixed in the database. The cost is 29c/min, not 35c/min, through any common access number.

That's good news, as I just received the card.

I noticed one other error, however. When you hold your cursor over the "Please select a country" drop-down menu, the explanatory text still says the surcharge is 35c.

I'd be surprised if that UK number was a mobile number as described; perhaps it's a personal number, costing rather more to call it than to mobiles

Andy, I am told that it is in fact a mobile number (+44-752).
