Whats important to some maybe not as important to others, maybe this will be more important to you, just received this message.

"As from today Piranha significantly reduces call costs in may countries with Data now billed in increments of 50kb per session.:>)"

Nice news, thanks gkeeper On to the 10kb increments Piranha is getting better and better, can't fault them in any way so far

Yep, and as original poster, I'll be trusting Piranha for trip to UK Wed (though also going to try out the TMob US global roaming network).
As I've posted before, Piranha has some issues texting and switching from US to UK primary numbers. But best rates out there.

[davidtheprof]

still some reliability issues, and texting doesn't work on UK number. Needs a cleaner way for user to decide which number is primary - I'm mostly using in Europe where people want to call and text to an EU number.

If you use the Piranha SIM and are not getting SMS to the UK phone number: lets gather some data and send it to Piranha.

If you are in the USA, please specify which network you are on.
It will be a few days before I switch networks.
Today I tried sending SMS to both numbers
from a T-Mobile MVNO and an AT&T MVNO.
I am currently on the AT&T network.
Piranha received both SMSs from the AT&T MVNO. [H2O]
It only received the US SMS from the T-Mobile MVNO. [Ptel]

davidtheprof: Where are you [and what network] when you are not receiving SMS on the UK phone number
and what networks are sending the SMS if you know?

[davidtheprof]

Interesting... Piranha had told me to expect problems with SMS for the UK number, didn't think it might be a function of the sending network.
In US I'm T-mobile, but rarely use it here, mostly when in UK and other European countries. In UK I prefer 3UK network because Piranha is direct dial on them, but phone does not always default to that, often goes to Vodafone - and sometimes I switch manually trying to get data signal. But have not tested the various networks to see which one might work with SMS. Nor in other European countries. It's a time consuming pain to select networks manually. Not traveling for a while, so won't be able to test (though could replicate your US test, if I get the time!)

Actually, switched today to do the test on T-Mobile network.

This afternoon I tried sending SMS to both numbers
from a T-Mobile MVNO and an AT&T MVNO.
I am currently on the T-Mobile network.
Same results as my previous message. (#322)

Hi everyone. My first post here.

Just got a Piranha SIM in the mail today.

I connected to the Telus, Bell, and Rogers networks here in Canada and everything seems to be working well except for the fact that I am not receiving SMS sent to the UK number...
