Callkey Latest/Is there hope? [merged threads] -
03-10-2007, 16:59
[This was a statement by Callkey to its agents - but it does not appear to include or have attached instructions that it was also for public consumption and should be published at this stage.
There is a stored copy of it, should it be deemed worthy of being restored. There is also information on some reseller websites] |

There backoffice websites for each SIM using the following links still work {provider}.host4tele.com
CallME shortcuts still work, meaning i can still trigger my calls, web based, sms based from other mobiles and email based Now also shows caller id of +447624100000 |

The CallKeyOne.com and CallKey.com sites are still working
They also do other types of telecoms as well as a providing roaming sim platform and there is no indication on their site about any troubles |

I don't have eKit or GeoSIM so don't know the link for where their websites get their information feeds from.
I tested one of mine which is FreeGlobalSIM.com/GlobalCalling.com whose link is http://longdistancesim.host4tele.com/hosting/globalsim/ http://longdistancesim.host4tele.com also points to the same place |

I just go to the Callkey home page and press the button there
it automatically identifies which reseller you're with |

Looks like there may have been financial trouble brewing since March:
http://biz.yahoo.com/pz/070313/115433.html (see "Financial Restructuring" where they admit they were in default on a loan). Doesn't anybody (sunrocket, voicestick, callkey, and especially their investors) realise that a business plan should have a way of making profit built into it from the start. Don't just go out giving away services or selling them cheap, in a business where the revenue per customer is tiny, and then hope to find a way to make money later from volume. It's daft. |

If it is financial trouble and not trouble in dialling plan on the Isle of Man maybe when they come back online we might have to get used to costs/prices changing in some areas for CallKey backed services
