Every now or then one of the companies pays some event for an exclusive arrangement so they can advertise, "But be sure to take your XXX because they don't accept YYY."

Here's the information about the Tuyo WAP service. I found it in the terms & conditions:

Quote:

Mobile Internet Browser WAP Fee : 50¢ per twenty-four (24) hour session. Each session consists of twenty-four (24) hour consecutive hours. Access is subject to connectivity. Sessions cannot be reinstated or otherwise deferred due to loss of connectivity.

Beyond the 50c access fee they charge for content download. Now, I wonder just how much wiggle room you get with their WAP access? What are the GPRS settings? Does anyone have a Tuyo phone?

When I recharged my tuyo card (when I had it) online, I do not remember ever entering my address. They just ask for the credit card number period. As I mentioned, my brother used his UK issed Amex to recharge via customer sevice.

Here's a thread on HoFo about Tuyo Mobile. It seems that the 50c/day WAP feature only gets you to their walled garden where you can spend more money on useless junk like ring tones and pictures of cars and girls.

I've just successfully recharged my credit with tuyo on their website with my German AmEx. As state I picked "APO/AE", all other details were the regular German ones.

Onesuite has great rates for their prepaid calling card and voip services. It can be use from other countries calling back to US as well.

The SIM cards are no use to me now, they expire after a few months, so they are up for grabs ...

Hi I would be interested in these so long as they don't expire before mid may - drop me a PM with costs ( I posted 2 weeks ago on trade board asking if anyone got any!)

Just to say Nigel came back with a good offer- but in meantime been offered an active tuyo which suits me better - so guess still available
