It is $2.00 a month and .6 cents a minute to call anywhere in Europe. What a huge profit for onesim. I have the number on my business card. So anyone can call me if they need to get a hold of me. All I have to do is go online an redirect the number to the sim I am using. Very simple and efficient. There are many companies that do this, and they have toll free numbers in many countries. I am through with International sims. They are to expensive,and the local sims in the EU are cheap now for roaming.

Do you mean it costs 6 cents/min to forward to a mobile in Europe or landline only?

Hi Sophia,

You will likely need to use the GSM 850 band if you are in a rural area. GSM 1900 is primarily for urban areas. Let us know how it works in your Nexus One.

Thanks,
James

Problem solved :D Today I went to town, and reception was flawless there, thanks also for the technical help from Axel F of the support team trying to sort this problem :)

I know the price/cost difference is tiny [no more than 2 cents perhaps?]. Is there no way to have some price difference show itself? Not worth the effort? I know I would try to save some cents here of there [that is, choose to use a local access number over the toll free one].
Thanks for being here.

1. The cost varies based on how long you subscribe to the personal second number ($1.67-$4.99/mo for local U.S. or toll free U.S./Canada; $4.99-$8.99 for local Canada). There are a number of area codes available in the U.S. and we currently offer three area codes in Canada (Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver).

2. Yes it is 35c/min billed to the received whether you use a common or personal access number. One advantage of the personal access number is that there is no prompt so you can use it for call forwarding from your domestic cell, office, etc.

Yes I do. only .6cents for Russia I think it is .13 cents.

Can you explain which company you use to forward the Did number for that price?

I use Kall8.com. They forward to any phone you use. There are several others that are out there. I just happened to think this one was the best for my situation.

I understand making a profit, but 5.00-9.00 a month plus 35 cents/min is way to much.
I can use my 866 number for call forwarding from my cell phone as well. I get a load of features with the number. Voice Mail & Fax Mailbox,Call Tracking Tools,Call Blocking,
Custom Call Forwarding,Conference Calling,and Virtual Calling Card. This is what I get for 2.00 a month. It is well worth it to me.

Would it work with Google Voice? I know they forward to a 403 (Calgary) number...

Kall8 do charge more for forwarding to mobile for most countries. For example to a UK mobile it's 38c/min, France is 37c/min, Mexico 46c/min.

Kall8 International Rates

See the note at the top: "Special Services includes, but is not limited to, cellular and audiotext services". So a rate marked "France (Special Services)" is to a French mobile.

(I use localphone, incoming numbers in various countries cheap, voip account, forwarding to Mex mobile for 8.8c/min, UK mobile 12-25c/min, France mobile 11c/min).

(edit) for Estonia mobile, Kall8 is 52c/min, Localphone is 22-34c/min depending on the number - what is the number range for a OneSimCard card? The big advantage with a VOIP account that forwards when not connected to VOIP (like Localphone does) is that I only pay for forwards when out of range of wi-fi.

I think the prefix they are using is the +372531
Localphone charges 28,8 eurocents/min to that range

Have you used Localphone to forward successfully to an estonia mobile,
as many voip companies don't forward to Estonian numbers.
