Chatsim

KML сказав(ла):

Мне постоянно на фейсбуке отображается реклама оператора, который в качестве основной своей фишки предлагает бесплатные мессенджеры в роуминге (я так понимаю, речь идет про Whatsapp). Подводные камни и детальные условия не знаю, не вчитывался, но вдруг кому-то интересно будет:
https://www.chatsim.com/
Основное условие, я так понимаю, такое: 10 евро, и пользуйся Whatsapp где угодно безлимитно.
P.S. эта штука, наверное, подойдёт тем, кто постоянно находится за границей в разных странах. Правда, таким путешественникам, наверное, и обычный роуминг не проблема оплатить.

This new and improved version of the chatsim is supposed to block most non-chat related data usage. In reality, it doesn't work that well.

The company knows it and recommends the user to block all data use of background apps and manually stop all data use for all apps. I did block all data use of background apps but didn't bother to do the latter. After a couple of days, I received an SMS telling me that I have been using data for non-chat app, probably because I called up some game app or look up the cached map on google map and the sim card was not able to block their data usage. So if you don't want to be cut off (they will stop your card if there is too much data usage), you have to remember to turn off data whenever you use any non-chat app.

I think the company should write a small app that with 1 tap automatically disable all data for all non-chatted app on the phone. It will make the product much more usable for non-techie.
