All Belgium Base simcards soon to be deactivated

I might be missing something obvious here, or I am calculating this wrong. However, doesn't this new Euro SIM card of Pat's work out at worse value than any prepaid European SIM card being used within the EU on the Euro capped tariffs? At least with the latter you get the benefit of cheaper calls (and free incoming calls) in the country of issue.

I am not going to South Africa, but I just hought it might be topical for some people.

However, if I have found incorrect rates, like the €2.99 I mentioned and you said you couldn't understand their source, those are simply what I found on your website.

Likewise, I make a judgement about what other company is involved, as indicated by the phone number, and that's the main reason I thought I could correct someone's assumption above, and also comment on comparing rates.

Well Andy
you know what they say about assumptions
I will again REITERATE Cubic Telecom is now a licensed "Mobile Network Operator"
I hope this makes it clear enough for anyone who has been following this string.

In which territory is your main network operating, and which regulatory body issued these licences and let the frequencies?

Ireland? USA? United Kingdom? Liechtenstein? Jersey?

How is it that you are using numbers allocated to another network, rather than your own?

I sent a series of emails to most European telecommunication authorities, GSM Association and a few carriers linking to this thread.
I'll post my findings as they come along.

Here is the list of Mobile Network Operators in Europe as of June 28th 2010.

Gert, are you here on the attack? What exactly is your objective in sending these emails? If it is to merely discredit MaxRoam, then I can say that most members here are not interested in your personal war with them.

That Wikipedia list is by no means comprehensive. It is missing plenty of MVNO's.

My initial post on this thread was in regards to a statement made by Base. Maxroam stepped in stating they now carry an alternative product.
Why are they still offering a SIM card soon to be deactivated?

Cubic Telecom/Maxroam claims to be a licensed "Mobile Network Operator". I doubt it's true.
None of institutions contacted have records of Cubic Telecom being "licensed".
Unless Maxroam can provide tangible information I (including others here) will continue to believe it's a lie. It goes directly to their credibility.

Maybe Pat (Maxroam) could tell us if something is going to happen with Maxroam SIMs based on the +32 platform. Will they be deactivated as stated in this topic OR are these Classic SIMs to be transfered onto a new platform if necessary?

You've made some interesting points, but don't take your failure on this point as a good reason to get carried away.

Let's concentrate on facts rather than speculation, as I'm sure I've said before.

It's possible that if you contact a couple of hundred or so, or perhaps rather fewer, you may find yourself obliged to retract this remark.

Until then, speak for yourself but don't assume you can include any other persons or this forum's policy in such sweeping statements, viz:

Kindly do not include me in your manifestations of ignorance.

Mr Phelan is not lying to us about this.
