just discovered it while googling.
reading the terms & conditions it's a KPN Nederland network service (biggest Dutch mobile network), so it should be reliable.

*dg7feq, which GPS-tracking devices do your mainly use for your drivers?

It looks very interesting. Do you know if they charge your credit card as you go or do you have to buy credits in advance of use?

i aksed them the same thing via email, they told me that CC or DB (debitcard) is charged once per month (when usage occurs) and in between when exceeding €50 usage.

it works like abroadband style, but with cheaper rates (within europe) and with biling per 1kb increments (abroadband charges per 128kb)!

the SIM is from KPN netherlands, also a big player... So i would guess its quite risk-less.

OK, that makes sense now. The website & FAQ aren't really clear about how the billing works.

It would be really interesting if that 0.89€/MB included ferries and cruise ships.

that's impossible!
ferries and cruise ships networks for e.g seanet etc charge other mobile-carriers (wholesale) something like 2,5-3eur. per mb!

Some things may be possible in the short term but impossible in the long term. For a year or so, US PacBell (now ATT) mobile customers had free foreign roaming because the company's billing system didn't work.
