Instead, freevoipdeal calls to UK mobiles are only 0.01 € per minute.

Is there an international sim card with at least 1 year expiration if not used and a UK number (or at least a central europe number or a US number) and free incoming calls for no more than 15 € ?
The reason they can offer "free" incoming is because they collect their $, Euros, pounds, on the back end. They simply charge the caller via the high rates they have to pay to dial your premium +372 number. How else would you expect them to make money?


Make use of T-M's UMA/wifi free calling from any place in the world with access to wifi. I use an LG G6, wife an S7)
A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries.

My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.

You should search for the best International SIM card service provider. Many companies provide the free incoming service for an International SIM. But their service may interrupt your calls because of bad network and some errors like this. I use the International SIM card from [spam removed] and it provides better service than other companies. So this is my advice for you. Thanks.

It says it has a UK number. Clearly it is a reseller of an already known operation. From info there, it's not difficult to work out which, and the discussion above does apply.

We don't indulge a provider slagging off rivals, whether random smears like this or more specifically. Goodbye.

This would presumably apply to all international cards that offer free roaming, unless the MNOs/MVNOs were willing give away free roaming as a loss leader. which would be a major surprise.
