Maxroam reduces your roaming charges when travelling

Cubic telecom, an Irish telecoms company, launched a new product called Maxroam late last year. The reviews seem good - ZD Net, Argolon, Ubergizmo. Whilestockslast provides a particularly good review showing direct cost comparisons between Vodafone and Maxroam and having personally spoken to one user he highly recommends the service.

The advantages of using Maxroam are-

• vastly cheaper roaming charges.
• you can have multiple local phone numbers coming to your phone.
• you can give your US landline number to your US contacts, your Italian landline number to your Italian contacts etc. etc. and they call you and they just pay a local landline call charge.
• you can create a local virtual presence in many countries.
• you can of course just forward your existing phone number to your new local number, so you do not have to give your new number out to all your existing contacts.

The downsides are a

• a callback service when you place your call (but users don't appear to have problems with this)
• the cubic telecom promoted handset does not get great reveiws (but you can use the SIM in any unlocked phone.
• there is no data connection or transmission

So if you travel regularly and are fed up of high roaming charges this product is certainly worth a look.

It may also be worth considering if you want to create a virtual presence in another country - your clients in that country call a landline number and pay land line charges whilst you sun yourself on the beach and pay lower incoming roaming charges.


How much does it cost?

In a nutshell you pay Maxroam €29.99. Which includes €5 free calls. Alternately you can pay €54.99 with €25 call credit and €5 free calls.


How does it work?

They send you a SIM card. You register the SIM card on their website. You pick a UK, Irish, French, Italian, Polish, Swedish, or US landline number free. You can pick up to 50 additional landline numbers, each for €2 per month.

They then asign you a local landline number in the countries you have chosen.

Put your SIM in your phone and away you go.
