Wow If I would have said that some people would have been pissed.

Again I can only repeat when chossing a sim, look at the provider you choose, look at their background and also look at how they solved problems in the past. The solving problems in the past can be a very good indication on how they will react in future when something goes wrong.

Snidely does make a point as we now all know that calling iceland mobile is almost impossible or very high price. lichtenstein the same. Withinh the UK they sometimes have different rates for the 07 numbers but most carriers worldwide just have 1 rate for +44 mobile.
The roaming free carriers are using that advantage because +44 mobile is a big destination and iceland or lichtenstein is only called mainly to roaming free numbers.

To my understanding, the phone number provided by UM+ is +4479...
I dont have to pay anything when I receive a call in Europe even if the call is 45 minutes long.
Calling this number costs as low as 2-3p/min in the UK or 8p/min with Betamax SIP service (http://backsla.sh/betamax)


The ideal free-incoming-call-when-roaming SIM card would have a country code such as +1 (USA), +65 (Singapore), +852 (Hong Kong)
Because these prefixes are currently free with Betamax.

This would allow me to have a landline number anywhere and forward it to this mobile phone for free..

I do have such an option and yackie knows which one . There is a way to do this but it's due to a mistake in one of the sim card providers here. I don't really use it because the forward quality suck and it takes up to 30 seconds before the forward gets thru. Most people have hung up by than. But it is due to a mistake so it's not a solution.

I have writen a review on yackie and their $ 0.29 incoming rate on a fixed number is fair. I also explained that it can be done cheaper using betamax and pbxes but this is really a do it yourself solution, not suitable for most people.

But the thread is about callblue, the above can also be found by searching the forum.

I got dinged with the "fair usage policy" too when i purchased their SIM as a replacement for Cherry to use in Rome, but then i found out that it only starts charging after 10 minute per call. So if the person hangs up and calls you back, you can speak for another 10 minutes for free and so on. It's kinda cheeky..but hey it works

Mike,
What are you trying to point out with your reply?, just admit that it's unfair not to mention in large print....and that's it.

And you realy think that a free business is releable?

Some one have to pay your call Ls129......i understand that you want a free world,

Question, do you work yourself for free? if yes, whatever you do, you can work for us but some one will have to pay your food, your gas and your bills........
