Paytoo mobile Sim Card

Appreciate the quick response from Paytoomobile, but it sounds like the Paytoo website needs to be tweaked a little

Fortunately I have a Digicel Bermuda prepaid sim chip for calls home at a reasonable price, plus ekit simplecalling and Iridium as somewhat pricier backups.

TOTALY AGREE, we wonder why we have Bermuda in our roaming listing provided by Vodaphone IF they dont have any roaming agreement.....

We will check countries by countries, but maybe the confusion came from the contries WHERE we can do the terminaison.....

We will keep ou posted

Sorry for this Error

Now, I can be wrong, but I remember a statement from a Paytoomobile employee that everybody would get a new card (it was even in this thread if I remember well).
So, why was I issued a phonenumber in the first place?
Exactly the same thing happened to someone I know personally, she got a phonenumber, but no card.

You're doing very well Paytoo... not.

I tried to point out the problems with paytoo mobile, but I was told to shut up, by two moderators.

We do, but in my case it took you just 4 weeks to read my PM. Just hours after making our conversation public, you respond. Coincidence?

May I remind you of what you wrote here in a reply to borjeg:

I'm just reading the word "all", in your reply, right?
The fact that I initally got my card for free, but then added credit to it can't be the issue here, can it? And I'm talking two cards in an identical situation, both were added credit by us. I informed you about that in my PM.

No comment on this, please think again about what you do, and what you say. Some people don't forget that easy, I'm one of them.

Mods: Not as borjeg (sorry mate) I will keep my mouth shut, and will not start a war

Don't forget, if you have T-Mobile US as your home carrier you can make free calls to and from the U.S. if you can access wifi anywhere in the world. You need a UMA capable phone. (All recent T-Mobile Blackberry phones have this feature along with a few others. Calling is exactly the same process as though you were connected to a local cell tower.

I received a replacement for my old Yackie SIM, which I had in 2007-2008 before it stopped working. I was happy that they transferred the $8 credit, but I did not receive a US number at no cost as I requested, even though my Yackie SIM originally came with a (free) US number.

Also, when you add credit to your Paytoo SIM over the Internet using a credit card, they charge you an extra $1.50. I guess this is their "processing fee."

[Bossman]

Wow! $1.50 proccesing fee. Is there not another way to topup, say via the web? They will probably still charge the fee if one uses a credit card via the web. They should at least mention that somewhere.

PaytoMobile, when do you/don't you charge a processing fee to topup?

Only T-Mobile chip I have is the prepaid Tuyo MVNO sim chip and I don't think it has that feature. However Skype VOIP does work over the hotel wi-fi though with very good clarity..just tried their test call feature using my MacBook Pro and a bluetooth headset.

Using the Digicel Bermuda sim chip for phone calls instead of Skype because I'm away from the hotel (and their free wifi) during the day when it's convenient to call home, the rates are reasonable for calls and it's quick and easy to use (I just direct dial home). It's actually a regional sim chip because I've used it in several Digicel countries in the Caribbean with good results. I add a few dollars every couple of months to keep the sim chip live and to build up a balance for my next trip.

Call back sim chips also have their place. I used the ekit sim card in Nevis back in February/March...was cheaper than Digicel and wifi could not support good quality VOIP there. Will see if PayToo will work in Grand Cayman early next year (hopefully with better results than Bermuda).

On the PayToo convenience fee I've seen that with other carriers, but don't particularly care for it. Maybe one of the paytoomobile people can clarify for us when they do or don't charge this fee.

I write this message hopefully someone in charge would do something.

I have a reseller account on Paytoo - We make your money mobile and i wanted to withdraw money from my own account.SURPRISE!!!!For more than a week nobody from paytoomobile is likely to answer nor help.It's a considerable sum of money, their limit is 500 /week so I think they did this on purpose so money can cumulate and than disappear.
Just like epassporte!
I wonder there is nobody capable to help and not steal?I need an advice if possible,
Thank you in advance
