Official Response From Yackie Mobile

[MATHA531]

Well I got in to check my account also...seems to me they advertised incoming calls in the UK were 24?/minute or something like that...I indeed received one call that I had forwarded from my US mobile phone while I was in Great Britain on 10 August (my friend wanted to know if the security alert at Heathrow had caused me any grief)...the call is tagged at about a minute and a half and my account was debited $1.65......can't check the tariff now because it is down but somebody correct me if I'm wrong...weren't received calls in the UK supposed to be 24?/minute so the call should have been, at worst if debited to the next highest minute, 48?.....

Yackie mobile, please help.

I also remember incoming calls in the Uk were 0,24/minute

Still In Lagos, Nigeria...

Just to inform you that the SMS charges have changed. I sent 2 test messages and was charged $0.80 for each. I think it used to be $0.30. Unless this is another billing error.

I think (or hope) it's just a billing error because SMS I sent from their website in August were also charged $0,80.

did you send them from the phone or on the website?
From the web-interface i also was charged 80ct when i tested it.
SMS from the phone never appeared anywhere though.

EDIT: My card still does not work anymore. no incoming and outgoing calls. just SMS works...

I sent them from the phone.

BTW, has anyone really got a refund from yackie? I do not want to beat this topic to death. But why in the world could it be taking this long? Yes, I have seen the explanation from them, but still....

I spoke to someone from yackie today, they are still aparently having problems with the DID numbers, they are saying maybe 1-2 weeks. I am leaving out of the country in the middle of November and Ill be in Honduras and Belize, hopefully they will have something working properly by then. Im not to worried I have another sim which works in both places which this one obviously doesnt. Anyway, figured I would post what I found out.

Thanks

Same here....

I tested it yesterday. It no longer works for incoming calls. Caller hears nothing. Just dead air... I am not sure if it's beause they are erroneously showing my sim/acct. as having a negative balance.

I dont think its the balance as i still have 6$ on the account and cant place or take any calls as well.... :construction:
