But doesn't piranha also use telna's infrastructure?

no, different call routing and even different voip app.!
i'm very very satisfied with piranha simcard, after using several other international simcards all these years.

Follow-up on my issues with Telna Mobile not registering. Turns out it is incompatible with my phone! Tried the SIM in a friends Samsung Galaxy Android phone and it registers fast on Bell. My phone is a Nokia 603 running Symbian Belle FP1. Works with every other SIM I've got, including another roaming SIM (Tru), but will not register with the Telna SIM.

Had a similar issue. Found a Motorola L6, which Telna recommends on their website, but haven't really had an opportunity to try it outside the US. I have occasionally tested SMS with the L6 and have had little success, so I am still skeptical of the service...

So you are saying that the moto L6 does not work int he US? The US version is a quadband phone and should have worked. Now, the non-US version is Triband (900/1800/1900) and should have worked on Tmobile as well, since that's what Telna roams on. My suspicion is that you have another issue not phone related.

I apologize for the confusion. The L6 does work in the US. I (personally) have not seen much success with using SMS with Telna, regadless of handset used with the SIM.

I've had good results with Telna SMS, except between them and C-spire (a regional CDMA carrier in my area). I have not heard from the friend I loaned my Telna SIM & V550 to take on a Mediterranean cruise. Either he never tried it or it didn't work; probably the former. People are so scared of high roaming bills that they will often not turn a phone on, just out of fear of what it might cost. He should be home by now.
