There's no free incomibg calls.
Look here: https://www.glmobility.com/Rates.aspx
There is a column title "Incoming & outgoing roaming fee" with many "free" example but you cwertainly won't say that also outgoing calls are free

. I think that they mean that there "basic rate" is 89 cents/min for incoming and outgoing to US/Canada and "roaming fee" is any surcharge on top of those 89 cents...

So apparently is GLMobility. From Contact Us

Call us and speak to a representative
Toronto: 416-849-2341
Rest of Canada & USA: 1-866-299-4064

416 is a Toronto area code. Using Google that resolves to Group of Gold Line with HQ in Richmond Hill, Ontario which is just north of Toronto. (I used to work within 1km of their address.)

Looking at the rate calculator from Belgium to France was .89 each way. Where is the free incoming. Just a thought.

It looks very much like a rebranded TravelSIM.

Except for the North American phone number and yearly fee.

Telestial re-brands TravelSIM as "Explorer" and offers toll-free North American access but the actual phone number is still the Estonian voice number.

I could not locate GLmobility.com (2016-07-11) but reached telephone customer service at 1 866 299 4064.

I called GL Mobility group to report a situation I ran into while in Germany mid Oct 2016 that:
1) I could not make outgoing calls on my GL Mobility SIM (purchased and reasonably happy user since circa 2005),
2) I could not locate the website to recharge.

I was told by the operator that the GL mobility Sim services will no longer be available after my credit expires on the card. I will have to seek an alternate provider and they cannot offer a substitution, but will honour my card as long as there is credit. However, they are investigating why I cannot make outgoing calls (no callback), but can receive incoming calls. I can send and receive SMS messages.

Trust this helps others....
