0044 Global sim prices rocket

Calls to non US mobiles adds an extra 11p/min

Texts up from 11 to 17p

They also used to list non geographica numbers in the £8.32 per min
group - i wonder if it still applies but is just not mentioned now.

Note 6 seems a bit worrying too.

quote.......

The sim works well but trying to get your current pricing information is
rather difficult On prepaid gsm forum there is some suggestion the new rates
only apply to new connections
It's a good product but really let down by lack of rather basic information
Anyone managed to get anything definative out of 0044
Their email customer service was very quick last time i used it
Website is, at first glance, very informative but the devil is in the detail
and that is not easy to find
There was some promise of online account management
But I cannot see how to register for this without having to do a top up
since the min topup is
almost 30UKP don't want to throw good money after bad

I posted on ppgsm that an email from 0044 says that the old tariffs
still apply to mine, which is confirmed on the billing ... but someone
I know seems to have a message that implies a different meaning

The log-in info in the instructions is out of date; the callkeyone site
doesn't seem to work, but going from the CallKey home page does -
username is your phone number as 447624... and password is the PIN
number - for some reason it now logs in twice, so don't think it
doesn't work; it redirects to a secure site with 0044 branding on that
I won't post as presumably newer SIMs would log into one with the
higher tariffs
