My friend Pat Phelan has announced that his MaxRoam Service is now available worldwide. This is the SIM, phone and service I helped Cublic Telecom announce at TC40. The secret sauce lets you program 50 local phone numbers onto one SIM chip, meaning you can send and receive local calls from 50 countries on one phone.
Pat says that international travelers can save over 90% on their current extortionary Roaming charges.
This announcement comes just as rumors abound that Apple Computer's new upgrade will turn your iPhone into an iBrick if you unlock them an insert a MaxRoam chip in it. Apple says such an act will cause irreparable damage. The damage is to AT&T rip off charges, not to the phone.
Pat has a simple solution. Don't upgrade.
