They (still) don't beat Truphone's rates in Truphone EU countries (UK, Germany, Spain, Poland, Netherlands) especially with free incoming calls in those countries and $.09 per minute/SMS/MB.

In the rest of the EU, it's the same as before: mixed, with Piranha usually having the edge. For example, Portugal:

Piranha
Outgoing: $.16 Incoming: $.06 SMS out: $.14 MB: $.16

Truphone
Outgoing: $.25 Incoming: $.08 SMS out: $.09 MB: $.25

I have both so I'll continue to carry both. If you have neither and are considering one or the other, if you'll be spending any fair amount of time in a Truphone country, going with Truphone is a no-brainer.

Agreed Truphones 5 EU countries are great rates, but in the rest of EU+ other countries in Europe Piranhas rates are better. I too use both cards

if piranha had per second billing within EU countries (according to EU regulations) it would be the perfect overall travel-sim product

It would be very nice, i see they are starting to be very aggressive outside of the EU countries, they have just dropped the roaming rates in UAE and Japan, from what i have read, very attractive Data rates, unfortunately i don't see myself visiting any of the two in the near future..

Piranha has revamped their website.
Users will want to familiarize themselves with the different look
and format. So that when they go their in a rush they will not be surprised.

Have incoming calls to the UK number always been charged when in the USA?
I don't recall now one way or the other. [& I was just charged.]

[gkeeper]

Hi, from my experience they have always charged the same no matter what number you receive call on apart from VoIP (Free). I must say i do like the new customer accounts, much easier and more informative

Nice Piranha has been hubby's main carrier for a year now, and he couldn't be happier. Obviously he is an extremely light user (emergency calls/Internet only) and it hasn't failed him once.

In a way I'm sort of jealous because whereas I'm confined to one of the major Canadian networks, he has the use of all of 'm whichever happens to be the strongest at the time

As for myself I keep coming back to Piranha and Truphone, you just can't go wrong with either and I hope they're here to stay a long, long time

Sophia: If you aren't using Wind or one of the other 1700mhz carriers, get a dual SIM Moto G and put one of these guys in Slot 2.

Question: How does Piranha's Canadian number work with SMS?

Wind is not available where we live We didn't get a Canadian number, just a US one and that works fine on all major carriers (Telus/Bell & Rogers where we live)
