Default Free Globalsim now works again - 02-03-2008, 19:49

Today i have tested my freeglobalsimcard, and it works again in austria.
I can log in A1, T-mobile and One. My credit is also back again.
I can receive calls, send and receive SMS, but cannot call.
There is no callback working.
The question is, how long can I do this??

That could be because your provider is out of business and has no more money sitting at the supplier. You can opt into one of these "sim adoption" programs where you can have your sim running once more.

Mine has been working for a few weeks too. Including outgoing calls, credit check,Voicemail(Only incoming calls were working a few weeks ago), etc. However it's just for a short period...till the end of the month I believe. Not a big deal for me, I am travelling in a couple of weeks, so I will exhaust my $75 credit then, if the card is still working.

yes it works, but no incomming caller id, which sucks and no outgoing caller id which also sucks.

So yes it works, but no caller id is not good.

You know it's only going to work for a few more weeks right? And even if you move it to another provider, the credit cannot be transferred. I know there is no caller ID both ways, but at this point, I really do not care. I see this as free credit that I can use on my next trip, since I had already written it off as a loss. Good thing I did not throw the sim in the trash.

Heck! It died quickly. Incoming calls does not ring to the phone and outgoing calls display "contact your supplier" just like it was doing before. My plan was to use this sim till the credit runs out when I travel this weekend. No biggy!

Make sure you can make/receive calls before topping it up. Not sure you can even topup if your provider is gone anyway. Don't have mine here, but I think you dial 187 to check credit.
