"GOSIM Warning - and no doubt similar phone cards all operated by |||Ekit.com
We were recently caught out by the wording on the Gosim pages. You can receive calls for free on a UK mobile number +44. What is not made clear is that this is not a standard mobile number (although it looks like one) so it is not included in your free minutes. We have just had a bill of almost £1000.00 for calling our daughter (lots) as she is traveling round the world. Now don't get me wrong the concept of the number is very good however this MASSIVE FACT that you have to pay £0.31 minute to call from uk is tucked away on one page. The bottom line is either the caller or the receiver has to pick up the call charges and that is hard to find on all the literature
Use Free WIFI and Skype, Viber or Whatsapp".

Please keep it civil chaps, we all want the best deal and it is better if we give each other and visitors the best info possible.

This is the point I try to make about the "free incoming" cards. At some point someone has to pay the piper. In my case that will most frequently be me or my family. I'd rather have a card that offers a reasonable and rational rate plan than one that is tied to some premium prefix that either gets hugely surcharged or blacklisted.
