DISQUS

LucaFiligheddu.com: Cubic Telecom: the Global Mobile Operator

  • Ian · 2 years ago
    One problem with Maxroam's claims, so far they are still not selling a GSM Pirelli phone. As of today, 25 October, their website for the phone is simply a placeholder and this is three weeks after their startup. Added to their dubious behaviour regarding their interview with David Pogue of the NYT I suspect a lot of vaporware.

    Ian, I understand your point but when I have something "real" that is working well on my mobile phone and everything is working like those guys promise, I can't call it vaporware. The cubic telecom website will be up and running soon and I'm pretty sure that those phones will be available as promised. Anyway, the Pirelli phone is not mandatory to use maxroam, any other phone works. If dual mode, even better.

    Hi Luca
    We have approx 80 phones on test with bloggers/Journalists at present however due to the huge success of MAXroam we may have to slow down on Cubic mobile, I would however like to send you out a phone for you to test to enable you to make a judgement on it yourself and maybe satisfy the naysayers like Ian who haven't even seen the product or contacted me for a test unit (I am pretty easy to find), can you let me know by email which countries fixed line numbers you would like on your phone and I will get shipped today.

    The vapor one is twice the price

    Hi Pat

    we jsut did the comarison on most of the roaming sim providers, and with the rates you have on outbound it's impressive, and you come up trumps on most destinations. Even cheaper than local sim cards,

    Check for yourself http://maxroam.roamingsims.com impressive rates on inbound, and at least you are not hiding the fact that inbound calls costs someone, either the user or the person calling..

    now that maxroam is live are you getting back working
    on those phones? Dual Sim still seems to be asked for a lot by our users.
