Riiing SIMs in Amsterdam???
I purchased a Riiing SIM from a German company off Ebay May 9th for a
trip I'm taking tomorrow (the 22nd) to Europe. Bad Move. They shipped
it the 10th airmail, but it evidently got lost. I should have bought it
from Telestial here in the US, but thought I'd save some bucks. Now I'm
hosed. Like I said, bad move.
Does anyone know if you can buy a Riiing SIM in Amsterdam, like in a
store? Or is it only available mail order there?

You can buy a lebara card which does the same thing only cheaper in
Telfort shops. For more details go to http://www.lebara-mobile.nl
(There's a Nederlands, English, Turkish, Arabic and another language
which I don't recognize page as well.) Also available at "Bel
Company" in Amsterdam on Leidsestraat, Niewendijk and several other
places in Amsterdam. (Look for locations in Noord-Holland.)

They should be free if you are using a SIM card from the country you're in.
If you are roaming, you'll have to pay roaming charges unless there is some
sort of agreement in effect.
In the US you will have to pay for incoming calls unless your plan provides
so many minutes that you don't notice.

It is indeed cheaper I see, at least inside the Netherlands. It doesn't
look quite as seamless as the Riiing when roaming from country to
country. But it's certainly looks like a viable alternative.
Thank you! *Especially* for providing the name and locations of where I
can go purchase one of these when I get off the plane!

They're free in the country in which the prepay SIM is issued.
If you roam to another European country, you are likely to be charged for
incoming on _most_ prepays.

No. Using a Lebara card incoming calls are only free when you are in the
Netherlands. See their website for details.

Incoming with very few exceptions is not free in the US. Definitely
not free for Riing or lebara.
