I believe it is appropriate to sound some caution about this service, not least because of the chaotic state of their website!    Shocked

Although the first page shows several discounted rates, these are NOT shown when you navigate to the appropriate country calling rates' pages.    Huh

For example, your India rate of 3p is shown on the first page, but India landlines are shown as 5p, and India mobiles as 7p, on the actual country rates' pages.

Similarly, Pakistan is shown as 4p on the first page, yet 7p and 7p on its country rates' page!    Huh

In view of these lamentable discrepancies, I would suggest that nobody knows the true calling rates without making some test calls, and I for one am not going to buy one of their SIM's to find out!    Grin

The first page clearly says this offer is a limited time offer- the offer is valid only till 20th October. I dont think it makes sense to buy the SIM for just 16 days unless you are a very heavy user.

Well spotted about the promotional period Nik !        Smiley

members might also like to know that the promotional rate is "to fixed lines only", though this is hidden away in very small print.        Huh

Of course the signs such as India 5p 3p don't draw attention to this, so it is easy to be fooled that it applies to mobiles as well as landlines.

Watch out folks, and don't be taken in.
