Gt Sim Sms And Gprs Rates Higher!

**Effendi** · 19-05-2006, 08:04

A friend by e-mail told me that GT-SIM has changed its rates for SMS and GPRS (which were never billed till little time ago, if I'm not wrong) from ? 0.09 to ? 0.18 and ? 0.10/10KB to ? 0.18/10KB which is really a BIG difference compared to the old rates!

On their site they still write the old rates in the homepage and the new ones in the rates page...

but it seems they are billing at the new rates already...

Quite a bad move from them...

So, it seems that Globalsim Holiday may be better a choice now: SMS for 19 cents but data 14 cents/10 kB....

On May 2 I paid 9c for SMS using GT postpaid.

Don't forget there are 2 GT-SIM offerings:
http://www.gtsim.com/ Very expensive
http://gt-9.com/websites/gt_sim/index.php?lang=eng Much cheaper

Look at the "cheaper" option and click on "prices", you will see the new ones...

Effendi, did you mean this?

*** COUNTRIES COVERED WITH ROAMING CHARGES

**Przemolog** · 19-05-2006, 15:32

http://www.gtsim.com/ is in AU$ aka AUD = Australian dollars - they are worth less than euros, that's why nominal rates are bigger !
