Maxroam went live

UPDATE:
On tuesday, October 2nd 2007, Maxroam has fixed their rate calculator. It doesn’t say anymore that you can call to wherever in the world for just 0.35 when roaming in Germany. Now different prices apply for each country.
Cubic Telecom’s Maxroam went live today and I really like the prices for this international SIM card. Making a call to wherever in the world costs 0.35 if you are in Germany. There is no difference between countries. The entire world costs the same 0.35. Receiving calls costs in most cases nearly the same like making them. CEO Pat Phelan says:
Well we want to give back value, we wont pinch on pennies, We will give you the best quality voice services possible, we wont be the absolute rock bottom prices.
Well I hope so, because I don’t understand why calls from the USA cost 1.18. Why this big difference?
But still that’s much cheaper than the up to $3.65 which AT&T would charge, as you can learn from this insightful article "A Cellphone Without Borders" in today’s New York Times. Now I am very courious to get to know Cubic Telecom’s Wifi VoIP prices.
