We've been selling mobile services for nearly four years now, both domestic and internation roaming. We have also just released the first (beta) version of our Travel Journal service that integrates an online travel journal with the communication capabilities of the SIM.

Right now it's just the calm before the storm, big things coming up, I'll keep you posted. Cu soon and cheers, Frederik Pat,

I am on Active Life 500, which now gives double minutes in a monthly plan - 1000 mins. I rang CS to ask about roaming charges in UK and she put me on an option where any calls I make are taken out of my monthly minutes balance, and I don't get charged roaming fees, or for the call separately. So once I have minutes in my balance, I can call home to Ireland for free. Irish landlines and mobiles.... So worth calling CS to ask about your service before travelling ...

Not many people know about it. I believe all CLECs have to offer it. Additionally, I'm a Native American and am living on what is called "ancestral lands". That combination means I qualify for EXTREMELY cut rate POTS service. $2 USD per month (no long distance). While not free like many of the options above. It is POTS and it is REALLY inexpensive. What would you expect from a bargain hunter like me, huh!? :) Pat – Here stateside there is an offering called “LifeLine” where you can have an activated POTS line for emergency services use only.
