Truphone Local Anywhere quietly increases pricing

rfranzq · **Tru works on cruise ships, Mexico rates -** 23-12-2010, 05:56

Much to my suprise, my Tru SIM connected to the cell system on the cruise ship I was on. [Princess Cruises' Sapphire Princess] I did not try to call or send an SMS as I had no clue what the rates would be. I did receive SMS for free.

Now these Mexico rates were not what I was charged:

Quote:

Receive landlines calls fare per minute $ 0.70
Send a text fare per minute $ 0.56

I was charged $1.39 for a received call [old rate] and 16cents to send an SMS. [I used an AT&T SIM at 25cents a minute to call the Tru SIM.]

I was in Ensenada, Mexico. Tru uses Movistar.
