- Supposedly you "pay as you go." Does this mean it's impossible to be charged more than you've prepaid -- e.g. no "surprise" huge bills run up because you forgot to turn off the phone or because while in your pocket some random buttons got pushed resulting in a twelve hour call to a repeating "The time is now..." line in Borneo?
- It's a UK company and charges are in pounds -- can you join from outside the UK?
(I know I could probably call or email them, but I thought I might get quicker and better information from someone here who has used them.) Thanks for any comments.[/QUOTE]
1. It is a UK 44 number and that is the only number offered.
2. It is pay as you go and when your credit is up, so is the service.
3. Yes you can get the card shipped anywhere. But I don't recommend this card. See red line.
