I just couldn't resist...I sent a voucher request using a scan of the order form and welcome letter from the defunct BuyTel Travelfone company in Ireland as proof of purchase.

Let's see if they accept it. If they do, this will truly be a case of turning a lemon into lemonade

My scan of my eKit welcome letter was accepted within 8 hours, the order is already completed and they let me know they sent the card already.
Well organised I must say.

Speaking of Dubai, have you checked how your SIM works outside the Jumerah area. It is strange, but most callback schemes work in the tourist part of the UAE, but if you get out to Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, etc., they just don't seem to work. The SMS for the callback just seems to fail. I can't explain it.

Dubai, however, is not a place that I use a roaming SIM. I have both Etisilat and Du. Don't ask me why. Du was basically giving the SIMs away one day and tried it. At least as of last month, they still had a few bugs.

We have a very large base of customers to Dubai , and basicaly everywhere in the emirats because we have a distribution agreement with axiom telecom and some other group, and for now we dont have any issue in this area, abu dhabi, qatar, dubai, kuwait

I used my new Yackie card in Germany last weekend; unfortunately I didn't have much time and I had also my German Simyo which I used most, anyway I just received a call on my Italian DID number and the quality was rather good, a little delay, but still acceptable. In Switzerland, of course (unfortunately) there was no coverage. BTW it seems really another world compared to the old Yackie, also the packaging was really nice, all communication fast and kind, I have to say that it's on the right way.

Are we reaching the point Effendi where we can add Yackie back to one of the forum's recommended carriers? (perhaps you can wrok out a beneficial deal with them)....of course the lack of coverae in Switzerland (I understand it's an O9 thing) is rather puzzling...they (O9 that is) have had about 2 years to rectify the situation and I really don't understand why they can't hook up with any Swiss roaming partner (or in other words does O9 contain some sort of disease that Swiss operators are afraid of catching?)....

To Yackie/others,

Is there a maintenance-fee (monthly cost) for the local DID?
I can 't find it on the website (or I need to buy glasses)...
