European Flat Rate Calling
GeoSIM introduces the "EuroTariff
beater". You can now call between European countries
for a flat rate. Calls to Landlines cost just 23p
and 28p to mobiles. Receiving calls remains free
in EU countries. That's cheaper than a lot of regular Pay As You Go
mobile deals in the UK! GeoSIMs calling rates are 31% cheaper than the New
EU Euro Tariffs recently enforced on the major networks. Additionally
GeoSIM receives calls for Free in Europe, unlike the major networks,
so on a call for call basis (equal incoming and outgoing calls), GeoSIM
works out on average, 45% cheaper than the major
networks. Beware if travelling outside of the EU. The major
networks still charge huge amounts for calls to and from countries
that do not come in to the Euro Tarriff "zone". In what
the networks call "Rest of World", rates remain very high
or may have been increased, so they can make up for the reduction
in profits they've suffered since the introduction of the Euro tariff. For example one "V"ery well known network charges £1.69
per minute to call from the UAE to the UK and £1.25 per minute to
receive calls. By comparison, GeoSIM users can enjoy free incoming
calls and pay just 40p to call the UK. That's a jaw dropping
76% cheaper. For full details of rates and full coverage check out the call
costs and coverage page on the our website.
Caller ID Enabled
GeoSIM now has caller ID enabled for incoming and outgoing calls.
This useful and "standard" feature will show the callers number on incoming calls to your GeoSIM, and your GeoSIM number will be shown on the handset display of the person you are calling with your GeoSIM. If you have names and numbers saved in your "phone book" on the handset, the callers name will appear instead of the calling phone number.
Caller ID is dependent on any carrier that the call goes by passing the ID through their system. As a call is routed to or from your handset a number of "carriers" or operators are used. Provided all of the carriers support caller ID then the phone number will be displayed. However, if one of the carrier does not support Caller ID, the number will not be displayed on the called handset.
A new "Breed" of SIM PIG
Some of you may have heard
about SIM PIG. SIM PIG is GeoSIMs mobile phone unlocking chip. SIM
PIG was launched a few months ago with great success. We now have
a new "Breed" which unlocks more makes and models of handsets.
Our "genetic engineers" are close on creating one for unlocking
the iPhone.....what this space! With GeoSIMs
"SIM PIG", you can bypass the "lock" on many handsets
in a matter of seconds, including SIMply
PIGgy back SIM PIG
onto your existing SIM card. SIM PIG then bypasses the Network lock
on your mobile phone meaning you can use any SIM from any network
in virtually any handset, including difficult and expensive to unlock
modern 3G handsets. SIM PIG does not involve any codes, software or
hacks, meaning all functions on your handset remain useable and will
not affect the warranty. SIM PIG can go from handset
to handset so one PIG can be used in a number of handsets. No need
to get them all unlocked. Best of all, SIM PIG works
with any SIM, including GeoSIM, and costs just £16.99 For more information and
to buy online check out the website "SIM
PIG".

Renewals - Don't leave it until the last minute!
When you receive your annual renewal please ensure that you act on it promptly to avoid any unnecessary "panic" at the last minute and to avoid your account being suspended.
We all receive remainders for all sorts of subscriptions and memberships and often leave it to the last minute - it's human nature. But by not renewing your GeoSIM account when you receive the email, your account gets suspended automatically. Once your account is suspended calls you will be unable to make or receive calls, nor log into your SIM Admin area. This can be inconvenient at the best of times, but if it happens when you are travelling with your SIM or about to jump on a plane, then it can be a major "catastrophe".
GeoSIM sends you a reminder email Six weeks, Three weeks and one week before your renewal is due and also on the day of renewal. You can renew at any time by clicking on any "Buy Now" button on the website and selecting "Fees and Charges". Buy renewing "early" your annual renewal is not brought forward, so you will always have 12 full months use from the anniversary of your SIM purchase date.
Buy renewing you ensure your number stays active and does not get "recycled" and used by someone else, and your call credit gets "rolled over" to the following year.
Thank you for your valued custom, safe travels
