Special offer on new SIM Card - Page 6

Bossman · 23-10-2007, 10:32

The first local DID has no maintenance fee. Any additional ones do have a fee. Can't remember what it is. But, if you go to their website and choose to add an additional DID to your sim, it will let you know the monthly charge.

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)...

Hi, just wanted to clarify the Switzerland question.

09 has some technical arrangements with the Swiss operators that would not be possible if roaming was also allowed in Switzerland - this is an industry wide problem in the prepaid roaming world, it just happens that in 09's case it's Switzerland which is unfortunate, but without going into any technical details, it also means that 09 and it's partners support 190 roaming countries with considerably more reliability than otherwise.

It's the 'technical arrangements' that we're interested in

I don't understand why not making a roaming agreement with one operator would result in a more reliable situation?

Maybe it has something to do with privacy (like their 'banking secrecy' - don't know if that's translated well)... ?

Generically speaking, mobile operators sometimes exchange roaming agreements amongst themselves, when this happens they have to deny access in their own networks due to the subscriber then appearing to them as a local subscriber, which they don't have any record of, on the other hand the same subscriber gains access to many countries that would not make commercial sense for their operator to do direct agreements with.

Yeah, I think their new offer is reliable and a good service overall, even if maybe not the cheapest...

We dont want to be the cheaper off course, but it should be interesting to know and to see why they are cheaper

I think the new offer is very promising. The absense of a call set up fee is somethink very good. Also the list of free incoming countries is big.
If you could change billing from one minute to something like 30 sec and then every six seconds it would be great!

Just got my free SIM today in the mail with my voucher! Thanks Yackie!

One question - Are text messages sent to the local DID number forwarded on the phone or do you have to send it to the Iceland number?

Swisscom, however, has (or had) a roaming brokerage service where it acted as a roaming consolidator to smaller operators.

Stu · 26-10-2007, 15:42

Does their website generate an itemized list of calls that would be suitable for an reimbursement report for our corporate friends out there?
