Calling costs on this sim are not cheap by any means. There is also a $0.34 connection for outgoing calls.

It is Jersey telecom. It is the same connection charge that UM has.

I would rather not have this connection charge though!

Hi - are you sure about this connection charge as I can't see it mentioned on the Cherry website? Cheers. Peter

For successfully connected outgoing calls, there is a one time connection charge of £0.17

Thanks Prion!

Bizarre - when I check the Cherry tariffs page using Safari as the web-browser on my Mac that line with the connection charge does not appear.
But when I check it using Firefox as the web-browser it is there! (-:

Ah the sweet joys of owning a Mac! :)

But has anyone actually received a new Cherry sim yet?

Mac users don't care about spending a bit more! :p

new sim card Cherry
 

Well my new Cherry sim card arrived this morning. And guess what? It's a United Mobile card with a Jersey number! The card is actually branded UM and has a +44 7937 xxx xxx number.

Now why do I need another UM+ card when I already have one direct from UM . . . (-:

I thought that was a reasonable assumption from the tariffs and so on, so yes - why did you apply?

Probably because it was offered for free?
I was thinking of it too, but when I got a reply from them (I asked what the prefix was), they told me: +44 793 (deliberatly not showing the '7').
Enough for me to let it go...
