Koko Mobile / Naka

[bourbonkiller]

I swapped my Koko SIM card now to my iPhone to replace my Toggle SIM card. Network comes up automatically (which was not the case with my old Toggle Sim). There is a special profile for Switzerland in Koko-Mobile and when looking into the the "info" pane of iOS it list under provider "Partner Israel 32.1".

In my case I have opted for a German mobile number. At the moment you can choose from the following countries: Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Switzerland (DID) and US.

That it comes with an additional free number, which can be a US number, makes it more interesting, especially if incoming SMS are free on the US number, as there are very few prepaid SIMs available that have a US number with free incoming SMS: Truphone, Piranha which is in limbo right now, Toggle which changes your US # each month unless you pay, and LycaMobile US, which has very high international roaming rates.

GadgetKen, if you feel like testing out a US number, maybe you can confirm whether incoming SMS to it are in fact free while you're on your travels.

I'm kind of surprised that there's no mention of the free additional number on their website. it's a pretty big oversight by them.
