Anyone heard of them? Seems to be a "global MVNO" using Vodafone IT in Italy anyway.. +44 numbers. That's all I know. |

It's just another IOM rebrand, more expensive than usual... only SMS seem to be cheaper, but I don't trust them much...

Effendi, I think it's much more revolutionary than what you think (I might be wrong, of course).
I haven't been very present lately, but I run into 4gitalia and reading their website thought they were different from other IOM rebrands (e.g. possibility of a geographical number, like Yackie). So I looked up at the forum and found this thread. I tried to find more info on google and found out that it was presented at the BIT in Milan (which is strange for a IOM rebrand...). Further investigating, I found out it's apparently a Mediaset project. Look more carefully at the website: geographical resellers (several shops in Rome), a physical address in Italy... I think it shouldn't be underestimated: if you look at hop which has been on the market for ages now and it's impossible to find recharges or even know exactly where they are located!

I really cannot see the revolution you are talking about... it's a normal IOM card, nothing special. Yeah, they offer also a geografic number, it will probably be a Voip carrier, nothing strange, something like Yakie...
They don't have any shop, they just put the names of some travel agencies in Italy, unfortunately none where I live now, but I'll take a look in Genova in the next days if I don't forget! Anyway in Genova they have 2 agencies, rather unknown and out of the centre... Also their online store is not theirs, but they use an online shop of electronics pased in Vicenza (and registered in Pisa)... and the Sim4GTwo is finished...

Do you mean "tariffe 4G TWO" - don't they sell it anymore? BTW, when checking coverage (better than Manx), it seemed to me that 4G TWO might be 09 rebranded - am I right? |

I don't think it's a 09 rebranded, it should have a +44 number as well. There are some strange things... For example there's no Belarus (where 09 works) and there's Bahrein only on TWO (while Globalsim works with free incoming there). I suppose the difference is this: ONE: CAMEL roaming (they wrote "chiamata diretta", which is usually the Italian for CAMEL) TWO: callback roaming Both using Manx roaming agreements. Of course callback is more widespread.
