Rafael,

Thanks for the update and good luck. There are some decent rates and I like the free inbound in many places. BUT.....

This is probably NOT your main area but....

"Call rates are always less than your operator's roaming rates" from the home page. ALWAYS? Bet your life on it? Are you VERY sure? POSITIVE?

This statement is either an outright lie or advertising hyperbole. I'll give your firm the benefit of the doubt and attribute it to hype.

FOR EXAMPLE:

Let's start with your USA rates, which are not very impressive (low). According to the latest PDF file on the German site, a German D1 Xtra card supposedly has an inbound rate in the US (and actually in all of it roaming countries including Mexico and Canada) of 79 Euro cents per minute while roaming in the USA and 1.99 Euro per minute outbound to German phones from the USA. Your INBOUND rate is 2.09 Euros and OUTBOUND is 2.50 Euros. So much for ALWAYS.

For the USA one can easily purchase a US T-Mobile prepaid SIM and, coupled with most calling cards, beat the T-MO rates and the TravelSIM rates by quite a distance.

My US T-Mobile postpaid AND the German D1 prepaid Xtra card will also roam more cheaply in Canada AND Mexico than the TravelSIM. Your INBOUND is 3.55 Euros and outbound is 4.17 Euros per minute.

QED.

Sorry, but it might be even better not to show your absurd 4.17 Euros ($5.00) per minute outbound rates in Mexico. Sorry, but what a laugh!
