I could make outgoing, but not get incoming. A day or two later got set up properly w. my local number and all works fine. Won't have time to "play with it" til the weekend. ...mike 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. |

I would pay for the added expense of having a non-local number if it meant increased quality. ...mike I sent you a PM.

Agreed. That's what makes YM potentially so special! Forwarding my local cell phone to YM's service, at no more expense to me than local cellular minutes, makes me drool! However if I was to give the YM number to someone and they called from an area that's not local, I bet that call starts charging as soon as the call starts processing.. |

![]() Follow-up to my question to VladS about "native numbering".
I am guessing the "native number" would be the Israeli mobile number keyed to the SIM card? If so, to call an Israeli mobile via most discount services is under 10?/min. Via VoiceStick it is 6.22?. I would be willing to pay that extra 7 to 8? for a "regular" quality incoming call. Actually, if I weren't assigned a "local" number I would assume that would save Yackie some nominal amount of money. IOW, I would pay 30?/min. for incoming calls of "normal quality" in the dozens of countries Yackie is charging 24?. If they are going after the high-end market of business people who rack up lots of charges - quality means more to them then cost. ...mike 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.

![]() Test report VA to snidely....
Using MCI calling card, snidely and I had a nice converstaion. Delay in dialing when I dialed - hard to guess, may 5 - 15 seconds. Never can tell will these calling cards. Then I was told CONNECTING (foreign accentet female voice) followed by a longish European type toot, repeat three or four time.... S picked up. Soudn quality was very decent. He called me; I answered. At first the quality was markedly worse than my call to him. He said I was breaking up. As we talked a bit, the quality improved, apparently on both ends. I sent him an SMS; I am guessing that went thru. Snidely will report on his view. Hope this helps.
