Did you already see the new price calcuator?

They raised the prices quite a lot as far as i could see now.

For example USA:

Incoming calls to United States $1.19/min.
Incoming sms to United States $0 per sms
Outgoing sms from United States $0.35 per sms
Outgoing call to a local land line in United States $1.29/min.
Outgoing call to a local mobile line in United States $1.29/min.
Voice mailbox
Customer service
Call divert
Language selection
in United States $1.3

Compared with Incoming $0,24, outgoing $0,39/0,69 as it had been before...


EDIT: But other countries also got cheaper... argh :P I hate the websites where you can not download a whole rate sheet but have to click trough tons of countries before you get your personal rate list.


Germany: o2 blue all-in L, simquadrat
Thailand: truemove (phone+sms+wifi)
International: xxSim+372, toggle +44/+49/+41/+31

I suppose it may be a mistake. Incoming rates for Alaska, Hawaii and Canada are $0.19, also other rates have 0, not 1 placed before the decimal dot separator

What countries got cheaper? At least as to incoming rates, I checked a few European countries and I see 39 cents instead of the former 24 :P (only Ukraine 29 and Russia 19).

I had a look for Thailand as i am there quite regularely. There incoming calls are now 19 ct, before 24.

But there are mistakes in the price list for sure. Calls to UK-Mobiles from UK are written as $99 a minute for example

Well, I checked also India which is a very expensive country when using other international SIMs (except Hop, of course) and incoming rate is 19 cents when it used to be over 30, AFAIR.
However, no matter what listed rates are, the most important issue is whether thew whole stuff is reliable or not. The Yackie story so far makes me think it may not :P

I checked also a list of countries in the rate calculator and it doesn't match the coverage list.

And there are no extra landline numbers available to buy (checked Poland, Germany, Italy and Latvia) :whistle:

Wow! All the rates went up. At least all the rates in the countries that I am likely to visit went up by at least 20 cents. Most incoming calls used to be $0.24. They are now $0.49. Not only that, my DID does not even work any longer. It's been ringing busy over the last couple of days. It was working as of last week. Not that I plan on using it anyway.

Some days ago i set up my VoIP router with the yackie.com settings which are linked to my SIM-card to try out this feature that was mentioned in the post above. Btw, there is a 10$ initial balance on the VoIP account so you can test for free as far as i can see.

I have to say that this is really a nice idea and is working well.

As long as the SIM-cards is registered to the network the phone rings. When you switch off the phone the DID number rings on the VoIP-account.

So everywhere where you have access to the internet (they use the GSM-codec, so not neccessarily need for broadband) you can receive calls for free and dial out for reasonable rates.

Default Yackie - Is anybody still using? [merged] - 25-01-2007, 14:31

I was wondering if anybody is still using the Yackie SIM? I was one of the initial believers in this service, but unfortunately it was not functioning correctly at the time when I needed it. Any feedback from you guys would be appreciated - how recent experiences have been, has the service improved, billing, etc...??

Thanks so much!
