Roamer app: '... an end to roaming charges?'

Roger1

Has anybody experience of the Roamer app? The Daily Telegraph reported on it on Saturday last week.

At first sight it seems to be too good to be true, so users' experience would be useful.

I thought I was well sorted with my Three 3-2-1 using Feel at Home and my Toggle SIM. The only major fail for these is calling from South Africa which is either expensive or unavailable.

I find the Roamer website https://roamerapp.com/en/ difficult to understand. Example: Roamer offers calls from SA to GB for €0.058/minute landline, €0.078/minute mobile. Assumption: SA SIM card required?

Or internet calls (assumption using wifi?) for €0.009 landline or €0.029 mobile.

I know that I can ask Roamer but find MSEers' help invaluable.

How can it technically let you "receive calls with your usual number" if you use WiFi only or a local sim for mobile data?:think:

its not an end to roaming charges! 'Roamer' charges you for using the service. I use 'Ringo', a similar app

I am using ajura app, with help of this app you can receive calls on your usual number in any country. I used it in Japan, USA, and Australia. Its works really good.
