Title: World Sim Card (Free Roaming in 90 countries, incl. UAE) Post by: seanjoe on February 09, 2012, 07:43:06 PM Hi All,
Just got this link from a sim card called WORLD SIM. It gives you a UK and US access number, and also £10. If you go through gumtree, they are giving it for this offer (normally costs £39.99) for the sim. so if you buy the sim, and get a UK number by registering, and then give it to your friends/relatives in the UAE, you can call them for free, and it does not cost them to receive the call from you. 6 Zones of world classification. Free countries include Australia, NZ, and the UAE. Too much and it really sounds too good. here are the links: http://www.gumtreedeals.com/deals/london/world-sim-international-sim-card http://www.worldsim.com/TariffsMulti.aspx I think we have a real bargain here.!!!! The £10 you spend for the sim is given as credit, so effectively FREE. Title: Re: World Sim Card (Free Roaming in 90 countries, incl.

Another issue with this is that they are only inclusive from O2, Orange and Vodafone. People calling you from T-Mobile and Three would get stung quite heavily!

I would very much doubt that calls to this number range are inclusive on their standard pay monthly packages. Calls to Manx Telecom's 07624s were something like 50p a minute, if I remember rightly.

07624 may be charged so highly due to it falling into the radio-paging range (076xx) for which I think Vodafone has a blanket charge of 51p per minute (probably 50p before the VAT increase).

They do charge all 076 numbers at 51p a minute, as you rightly say, but are not at all clear about other chargeable 07 numbers, unlike Orange. They mention " a few special 07 numbers," not being included in your plan's monthly minute allowance, but that's all.
