Just a quick note to mention that MAXRoam.com is a really great service. Essentially it’s a reduced rate pre-paid SIM card that lets you add multiple numbers to the same SIM. For example, I now have a SIM card with four international numbers in Spain, Poland, Germany, and the US and they all work seamlessly in almost any phone. It basically lets locals call you at local rates and you call at almost local rates when in country.
The card costs 29.99 euro with a 5 euro call credit and new numbers cost 5 euro a month. The plan is fairly simple: you buy the SIM and make calls. Then, when you travel, you add a new number to the SIM for a month or so and take it off when you’re done with it. MAXRoam has a web-based system for topping up and adding numbers. A bit pricey but it works very well.
Thanks for the post John, a couple of things to note about MAXroam
1. all the numbers you add are fixed line numbers, your friends don’t have to call expensive numbers to get you.
2. Additional numbers begin @ €1.15 and are dependant on the particular country requested.
Hope to see you Tuesday night.
At RoamingSims.com we have given Max Roam 5 out of 5 and you can compare their rates on our site.
It’s a useful service with the additional numbers which makes it different from the other sim card we compare.

At the roamingsims website, Rune only features SIM cards who gave in to his parasitic requests for appearance money
And Maxroam’s new rates in the EU have gone up such that some are up to €1.65 a minute to call to a mobile of the visited country
We love X here at maxroam :-)
and we certainly pay no one “appearance money” :-)
