Rather later than planned, here’s day two of the MAXroam road test. It’s a rather short update as I was rushing around the country that day, but with a trip to Jersey planned for first thing the next morning I wanted to at least try and get things working before I left for the airport.

If you’ve read my previous posts here and most recently here, you’ll know I’d got as far as trying to activate my MAXroam SIM. True to his word, CEO Pat Phelan got his tech team on the case, and first thing the next morning Platform Manager Chris Kennedy registered my SIM for activation. So, back to the registration process I went.

I entered the number of the SIM into the registration screen, setup my details and, well, it worked. Sort of. As you may know, MAXroam gives you a default GSM voice and SMS number (in this latest incarnation, it’s a Belgian +32 number) – and the option to add other local voice numbers in various cities around the world. However, when I first registered I just had a blank space where the Belgian number should be, and trying to add a local number threw a rather bizarre website error.

With the hours getting fewer and fewer until a rather early start to get to London City airport in the morning, I thought I’d have another try tomorrow and see if I could get things working. Stay tuned for the next update!
