Paytoo mobile Sim Card

[prion]

I still have not received my sim card. Anyone in Europe having received his card?

Just received my SIM card an hour ago and yes, I'm in Europe. I gave it a quick go, and it seems to work properly for incoming and outgoing calls. Outgoing calls are callback based, and an attempt to dial a number starting with '+' ends in error - exactly as stated in the HowTo shipped with the card (also available on the web). Caller ID is correctly shown in both outgoing and incoming calls.

My account balance has been correctly transferred from my Yackie Mobile account.

Outgoing SMS works, incoming does not - I've tried switching the available networks, but to no avail.

The web site seems to function properly - the account balance and the call details are tracked in real time, not delayed by 24h or more like some other providers.

So far, thumbs up. The rates are not that spectacular, given the absence of the free incoming calls, but they are not that bad either. Seems like a very decent offering.

Hope my incoming SMS problem will go away soon.

As I suspected, my PayToo mobile sim card doesn't work in Bermuda. It registered briefly at the airport as "Yackie Mobile", then went to "invalid sim" then "emergency". Will try to contact PayToo to see if they can get the local carriers to unblock PayToo phone calls, but don't hold out much hope. Probably will just use up the balance in the U.S. when I get home.

My Digicel Bermuda prepaid sim chip works fine and have placed several calls to the US. My Ekit sim chip is in sim slot number 2 and registers fine, but is too pricey for calls in this location (zone 4).

As for computer data, the hotel I'm staying at has free wifi for members of their hotel loyalty club, so I'm fine for high speed data...might try Skype and see how it works.

There are indeed no roaming agreements between Vodafone Netherlands and
the Bermuda based operators.
For an up to date of roaming partners check
GSM Coverage Maps | Netherlands | Vodafone Libertel B.V. | Roaming Partners

Bermuda is listed on your rate sheet though. So, you are saying one needs to check if there is a roaming agreement between Vodafone Netherlands and the country they plan on visiting. I'd suggest paytoo Mobile not list it at all, if there is no roaming agreement.

Agreed, Paytoo should not list countries on their website that their backbone carrier does not currently have roaming agreements with. Bermuda is listed both in the "mobile rates" and "mobile coverage" sections. Most people will go by the countries covered list and rate calculator on the Paytoo website rather than by roaming agreements listed on the 3rd party gsmworld website. Appreciate the quick response from Paytoomobile, but it sounds like the Paytoo website needs to be tweaked a little

Fortunately I have a Digicel Bermuda prepaid sim chip for calls home at a reasonable price, plus ekit simplecalling and Iridium as somewhat pricier backups.
