Three Austria just recently launched a new prepaid offer calles "3 Extreme" announcing free on net calls for ever. The card will not expire and there is a minimum recharge of 10 Euros to keep the SIM alive, although the ad says "free for live, no expiry". It is not clear yet, if there is realy need for a yearly recharge.

• On net calls to 3 Austria: 0.00 €
• all other austrian Networks: 0.09 €
• first 1000 SMS at 0.03 €, from 1001 0.09 € per SMS
• 0.15 € per MB data, billing in 51.2 kb increments
• free mobile portal including 2 TV channels free of charge
• full roam like home coverage in UK, Sweden, Italy, Ireland, Denmark, Australia and Hong Kong (means no incoming charge and above prices to Austria)
• Power options bookable: 100 mb for 3.0 € per month, Internatonal saver for 4.0 € per month

In my opinion, this makes a perfect SIM when you frequently travel to Italy, Ireland, UK, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Australia and Hong Kong. All prices will be charaged at above rates! Far better than every International SIM card. Recharge through Internet (austrian website) by credit card possible!

NO ROAMING AVAILABLE OUTSIDE THE THE MENTIONED ROAM LIKE HOME COUNTRIES!
