Some days ago I bought a new sim and I have it at home. It's a very interesting prepaid card. The big problem is the bill to Latvia...

according to their customer service, they told me that as of 1st of July, new-reduced rates- for voice, sms and data (outgoing rates) will be applied for roaming from European Union countries. incoming rates are already free from all EU countries.
they also told me that some non-European countries rates will also be reduced.

per second billing will also continue to be active from European Union countries, plus the voice data bundles.

about what you ask, have a look at rebtel.com , 0.18cents per minute.

I would really like a Camel Mobile SIM but am not comfortable submitting a copy of my passport and Credit Card on a non-secure website. I e-mailed camel mobile and received no answer. I just can't imagine that it has not bothered anyone else that not any of their website is secure (https).

email your order at tk@camelmobile.com, i ordered that way. their response should be very fast on this email

concerniong their website they had told me some weeks ago that they would introduce a new, completely new website soon, within summer time.

Did you have to send them a copy of your passport and credit card. I don't think I trust them enough to send them these important documents. If they can't even make a website that is secure, I can't even imagine how unsecure all their other computers and databases are.
