you do not mentioned the fact that if the card is used once within this time the 420 day cycle starts again and therefore your post could easily be misinterpreted as expiry after 420 days, regardless of use.

Seemed perfectly clear to me. The "..420 DAYS!" thing seems like a "Wow!" to me. The rest of the post made it perfectly clear that it was 420 days without being used.

As someone who has used several of these international sim cards, 420 days seems quite generous. Assuming Piranha is still around after 420 days of course...LOL! I picked up piranha a few months ago, after I've had it with Telna. Have not had the chance to really use it outside the USA though. Besides the couple of test calls I have done on it. Their rates just seem too good to be true, especially in the Caribbean. Again, I have had several of these sim cards show very reasonable rates for most of these countries, but come to find out the sim would not work once one is on ground. Anyway, I always have a backup. For now, it's Ekit and Piranha as my international sims.

So far the Countries I have been in through work, the piranha sim has worked well. The counrties are as follows:

USA
Canada
South Africa
Australia
Singapore
Thailand
Germany
France
Ukraine

I hope they are still around for a long time I do not want to have to go through the saga of finding another sim that works.

420days are quite a lot, only another travel simcard, Camelmobel, offer unlimited expiration for borh credit and the simcard.

The callback module doesn't seem to work right on many phones. Other than that, it is great. Telna (which shares some infrastructure with these guys) just started offering texting over the web and receipt of text messages that way. It would be great if an Android/iOS client was released that implemented these features.

Piranha is now offering an interesting unlocked Android phone.

Hi could you please specify make,model and firmware of the handset or handsets you are having an issue with and we will look into it for you.

If the Piranha callback STK is the same as the one in the Telna SIMs, I can provide two Samsung models that don't handle it well: C414 and Nexus S.

I have also the problem with a HTC Desire (4.1.2), HTC Sensation (4.1.2), Google Samsung Nexus (4.2.1), Samsung B2710 and Sony Ericsson Elm.

Also with all devices I have to use the SIM Toolkit for a call. The normal callback module don't work.

Can you contact admin with your account details and IMEIs of the handsets, so we can look into this for you, This comes as a bit of a surprise as we have tested most of these handsets and found no issues, I myself use the Samsung Nexus S without issue. you can contact admin at http://www.piranha-mobile.com/index....mation/contact

My friend in Germany emailed tech support with the details. It was a Huwai Comet. I don't know what my other friends in Oz used. I had them dial *111*12125551212# and it worked, but it took a bit to figure things out.
