Anyone get a new Yackie Sim?

[bbob]

and for BBob, we dont create any thing, we just make the thing easer..

with us, no need 5 systems and lond setup ( i remind you that most of the customers dont have yoru experience and skill )

You have a good sense of humor, make things easier.
What I read here in the forum does not look like making things easier.

I do agree that what I wrote is not for the novice user. It just shows that there is an alternative to have your own fixed US, UK or other country number and have that number forwarded to your mobile of voip phone.
Also receiving costs this way is a lot lower. You charge a lot more than the 10 eurocent / 13.5 dollarcent to receive calls.

I would advice anyone that has a bit of computer knowledge to go the do it yourself way. This way you can have your own fixed numbers in US, UK and other countries.
Choose your sim provider and forward the call to this provider. Whenever the provider goes offline, which seems to happen here lots of times, just pick anotherone and have pbxes.com forward it to that number.
You only hand out your fixed number so people call you on that number. Whenever there is again a sim problem you just switch sims and you can still be reached.

You seem to be on your third system so far

It seems you only actually post here when you have something to promote, but when people have described problems, you just read their posts and go away.

So perhaps you aren't yet qualified to patronise us.

Only time will tell if anything has really changed.

If anyone else that had the old yackie sim received the new one please post here, also if possible, post your experiences.

I have not received my new sim yet, but from the updated users guide, it seems like they are going a different route. Quite a number of things are similar to the IOM sims. There is even mention of a UK number, so...

Edit: The rates are now totally different. http://www.yackiemobile.com/main/rates/

And I dare to say that $0.49 outgoing and free incoming in most covered countries (including all EU and many non-EU European countries) isn't that bad.

As to the UK number - on the recharge page: https://secure.yackiemobile.com/main/recharge/
you'll see "UK Phone Number (4476...)"

Take from the link to their service manual.

"Our SIM Cards have a fixed service life of ten month. However, they can be extended
for an additional year, by paying a renewal fee."


"Receiving a call, anytime ( on the UK number )** FREE

** You will have for yourincoming call and your outgoing call a local surtaxe in this Countries due to the RPP rules, see bellow the surtaxe fees"

It does not state if the incomming UK numer is a mobile number or a fixed number.

In the past yackie offered the option to have a fixed number in several places in the world and this would ring on your mobile. This would although not be for free and on there site I can't see this option or cost anymore.

All in all the question is how long will these sims last this time. It does not seem a reliable solution to me.

For this reason I have setup my own system, including call-back and incoming fixed lines. This is a better and cheaper solution.

Maybe you don't like the product, but there is more information than this on their website

The SIM has a mobile number, according to a link in very recent post on this thread, and the DID number costs are also clear enough - $9 set-up fee, $9 a month, and "Sorry, this functionality is momentarily closed. "

Yes I see the link now. So Yackie is just another service now like all the other companies offering a +44 mobile number.

It's not about to like or not to like the product, it's more about how reliable a provider is when they are changing there service everytime or when a functionality is momentarily closed.

Yes, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_tele...numbering_plan
+447 is for mobile phones, pagers and and personal numbers and +4476 in particular is for UK/IoM pagers and IoM mobile phones. I don't know if pagers still function in +44 but definitely it's not a landline number.
