Anyone seen this?

this is the same underlying SIM as the 0044 one, and sounds like similar prices

As he said - very new; just rolling out now, based on Manx Telecom (part of O2) ...

he hadn't heard of GT sim, so that tends to confirm these as probably separate from that one

... didn't have time for a long chat, but he has my phone number, and sounds like will get in touch ...

I'm really surprised! Do you prefer "no choice" offer because it isn't confusing?

Sure, especially with that Icelandic one appearing the same week.

But the interesting thing for many people about this IOM-based one could be that the underlying network is part of O2, and should therefore (you'd hope) have the same roaming agreements and quality, perhaps making Mobal redundant for tariff differences.


It seems that this Geodesa and the 0044 products are the same, via different dealers with their own branding, and the GT SIM to have GT's own callback service overlaid on possibly the same SIM, a bit like Buytel was on UM.

An Icelandic prepaid international sim...I think I missed that one.

oops sorry I found the thread....

No. I'm just saying that once upon a time I thought I understood international prepaids. Right now, there are so many I'm not sure what I'd recommend or even how to pick one over the other.

IMHO you want something impossible.
In the matematical language, you would like introduce the linear order in the set of international prepaids . I mean: for each two prepaids A,B there's a relation A<=B (A is worse or the same as B). And it's difficult to compare values of any two prepaids even for a specific person, nothing to say about comparison for any possible user.

Although Manx Telecom (fixed and mobile) is part of O2, the roaming agreements are different from 02 UK. For example Mexico is missing.

Maybe when (if) 02 is taken over by Telefonica, Mexico will be added - but Gibraltar deleted.
