sure, but most of the other companies calculate this and dont charge for the incoming callback.
Of course everybody has to take his own decision - but for me this is definitely a no-go criteria for a SIM card.

Please contact Piranha Admin if you would like to discuss further, as we do not feel it is appropriate to discuss your options on an open forum.

In case anyone is wondering, Piranha Mobile can and does operate on 3G on T-Mobile's refarmed 1900mHz band.

If you go to the web page and look up the rates it will show networks.
In Spain, [I assume you can verify this] all 3 networks listed have the same rate. Is one of them preferred? Does it matter?

Then in the rest of the world it uses O2 partners, no?

I'm not talking about Spain but throughout the world. Many operators are connected to other carriers, but preferred are those in which they are connected primarily. Vodafone uses Vodafone carriers in the world before other carriers.

piranha sim uses telna (telecom north america) infrastructure and product which i think has an agreement with O2-UK for the roaming interconnection

When I am in UK/France, I just use my UK sim card.
I would be interested in your experience with Piranha. In the Piranha thread there are claims that Piranha uses Telna as their infrastructure provider. Unless it's a SIM issue, I would expect the same experience as Telna, in the event the claims are true.

I had some family go over to London for the Olympics and Truphone was the SIM i gave them. Other than taking some time to register, it worked flawlessly. I did have to work with Tru as the per minute pricing that I was charged did not match the prices on the web site. They did refund the difference, but it would be nice to not have to do that step.
