MaxRoam Review

The main advantage of a MAX roam sim is: You get a real landline number, not just a Jersey, Manx, Lithuanian or Estonian number but a real landline number from the UK, France or other destinations you may wish to choose.
You can add as many as you like, for £1.00 per month.
The sim arrived within a day of us ordering it, it came with a nice little pouch for storage of the sim and had a nice cards with all the instruction in the pack.
Opened it activated it as per the pack instructions and 5 minutes later we made teh first call.
Instant call back and the connection was faster than normal.
The only problem I had with the SIM was the texting, that appeared to be a little strange as people couldn't text the landline number I was given and when I sent a text to another number a +972 Isreali based mobile number. So your contacts who texts you have to send texts using the Isreali number on your Maxroam sim.
Otherwise the call quality was good, the call back wasn't difficult and worked all most of the handsets we tried it on.
For the long term traveller and the person who wants more than just a disposable single use sim, after realising people won't call his/her Estonian number, but who wants a steady reliable service we recommend MAXroam. It's not for the one off holiday shopper MAXroam is a sim card you keep.

Customer Service:

MaxRoam Customer Service is available both via email and telephone and is helpful and answer your questions, they also have an online balance on their max roam website you can keep an eye on calls and they are transparent in their pricing.

Quality of Calls:
It’s call back but it’s fast, receiving calls is surprisingly easy and the quality is as crisp as a landline call.

Call Connection:
it connects without any problems and all our calls were connected within seconds.

Text Messaging:
It’s very easy to send text messages, although you get an Isreali number that your contacts have to reply to.

Data Roaming
Data roaming is not supported

Ease of Use:
We put in the MaxRoam Sim card in our phones after having activated it online as described on the welcome pack and within minutes it was working and we had no problems using the card in the following phones Nokia N70, Sony Ericsson W850i, Nokia 6300, Nokia e51 and a HTC Touch Cruise.

Value for money:
MaxRoam is value for money, however it has to be understood that the sim card is different from most of the other roaming sims, they have inbound calling charges, but they are for local calls, and having local numbers in other countries termination on your phone for £1.00 a year is value for money.

MaxRoam Features:
