Thanks. I hope they will find that the sim is defective so they will ship another.

I got none of them, just get connection and other
two. Unless they modified the sim toolkit..

I don't have my Piranha SIM right now but my STK is highly abbreviated compared to yours. As I recall, it has Trigger Mode, Forward and Balance. I remarked on how the landline callback was much more difficult than my Telna SIM, that had it in the STK. I received it just this month.

Yes, when I told them they said that this depends on sim version. Mine was the v 8 and had just three options.

Truphone to Truphone---incoming calls free.

I used the STK [SIM Tool Kit] in the phone. NO "+".
[Just tested it again. Did not work with "+".]
Just 1xxxyyyzzzz for both phones.
I think this way [if it works for you] is easier to set up.
1. Put in number you want to receive call at, press OK.
2. Put in number you want to send call to, press OK. Call is set up.

STK call option "Landline callback"

I can also just use xxxyyyzzzz
to initiate the callback.
No "1" necessary.

I just tested this today.

*110*callbackDestinationNumber*callDestinationNumb er#Send

I saved both xxxyyyzzzz and 1xxxyyyzzzz formats in my address book and they both worked.

HOWEVER, I could not save format +1xxxyyyzzzz in my address book or
just stick it in and send it. The phone said "invalid format" for both attempts.

FWIW, Paranha seems to charge 3 US cents a minute for these calls.
That is, six cents for less than two minutes.

yep they use Zoiper now, its very good, but when you install you have to use Piranha UK as provider and all settings are auto installed, you only need U/N and P/W.

I use CSIPsimple. All I had to enter was the user name, server and password and it worked.

I don't know if Piranha's server implements the G.729 VoIP CODEC or not. For all the SIP clients I know of, they charge about US$10 extra for the basic CODEC without any annexes.
