Is it possible to send more than 1 UM SIM and receive the same amount of OneSimCard back? I have 2 defunct UM SIMs. And would anyone suggest I use a second SIM with someone else...if so, whom and do they offer free UM exchange?

Last question, if you get a US or Canadian based number, can you get SMS if the sender uses that US or Canadian number or they need to send you SMS using the web portal?

Thanks.

The call forwarding feature is to forward your +372 number to other numbers. It is free to forward to most countries and there are no additional charges to the rates listed online.

Yes, you can send us two United Mobile SIM cards and receive two OneSimCard SIM cards with $10 balances in return. Just make sure to register both UM SIMs at United Mobile SIM card | Free SIM Replacement Program and send them to us using a trackable shipping method.

US, Canadian and other Personal Extra Numbers (PEN) are for voice only. All SMS must be sent to the +372 number, or they can be sent using our free SMS portal Send Free SMS Text Messages Using OneSimCard International Mobile Service or your free email-to-SMS address 372xxxxxxxx@sms.onesimcard.com.

Thanks for the clarification. Just to be certain I understood, no extra charge means the destination rate still applies, there just no surcharge, correct?

Can the PEN be able forwarded? If so, in this case the 0.20$/min surcharge still applies as well, correct?

If you have a PEN, do the outbound calls I place display the CLID of the PEN or the +372 one?

Regards,

If call forwarding to your country is free then there are no charges whatsoever. For example: you set your +372 number to forward to a number in Finland, when someone dials your +372 number you will be charged nothing for that forwarded call.

If someone calls your PEN while you have your +372 number set to forward to Finland, then you will be charged 20c/min for that forwarded call.

Caller ID: you can set it to display any PEN, your +372 number or an anonymous non-working number.

Can you forward SMSes?

No 3GSM-operator has implemented SMS forwaring, so far. You'll have to arrange that yourself, by using a smartphone with an appropriate program.

I beg to differ. The majority don't... but a few did implement. A project I worked on recently, we used that setting for a customer in order to centralize some SCADA communication. All SMS-MT were redirected to a central, capturing realtime the errors captured by the probes from certain units, speeding up troubleshooting. Otherwise, a dual active SIM device is a better solution in my eyes to properly manage 2 SIMs/services/numbers if that is the issue at hand. What real-life scenario requires SMS forwarding other M2M/SCADA I mentioned, if I may ask?

Stu, borjeg is correct that SMS cannot be forwarded. SMS can be received on your primary mobile number, via our free online SMS page or via your email-to-SMS address (yourphonenumber@sms.onesimcard.com).

Thanks for the update and I have no doubt that this is how it works. Just a technical point, my China Mobile HK 3g SIM could do SMS forwarding. It is probably the exception and China may be better than most at SMS interception. (Bad joke, I know).

Will replies to the e-mail-to-sms be sent back to the originating e-mail sender, at the regular send rate? Of course, you cannot reply to the ones sent from the website I guess.
