According to eKit's customer service there are no plans to reactivate Callkey based SIM cards.

Would it be possible for other resellers to take these SIM cards over and reactivate them?!

I just tried calling my GT (ex Callblue) number (07624-120xxx) and the phone, registered on the Rogers network in Canada, rang.

freeGlobalsim is working too
 

I just tried calling my number too. It rang! I forgot I had it forwarded to my US mobile number before they went belly up! Well, it's still forwarded. As my mobile rang. I was surprised, as I actually answered the call, thinking someone else was calling me.

Kind of surprising though. Since freeGlobalsim is no more. So, I am assuming they reactivated all sims for now. Now, I have to get home a look for the sim whre I think I threw it. :-)

Like GeoSIM is?

In any case, ekit have been offering their own replacement for some time, but you might try asking them the question again, as I don't think the matter necessarily is closed. I'm waiting for them waiting for more info.

It's been possible to transfer across reseller lines for some time. Indeed, according to a check of my emails, I asked the question 16 months ago. Although it was approved then, I never did it, and now that reseller will see it as a conflict of their interest - some negotiating to do ...

According to one of the supervisors in eKit's Boston callcenter there are no plans to re-activate any of the Callkey based SIM cards. At least this was their position on 2/5.

I also got the same impression talking to the GT-SIM chap. They plan to issue replacement SIMs and don't plan to reactivate Callkey based ones.

While I might not mind paying a porting fee to recover several of my 7624 numbers, I would never sign up with a provider who charges montly or annual fees or impose minimum monthly or quarterly usage quotas. Are there any other providers offering to port defunct Callkey cards?!

Callkey numbers
 

As long at the dealer is no longer trading with callkey anymore,
It can be ported to a new distributor/dealer.


What ever happens, customers have until 29th April to port over, Then the sim card will be dead for good !

Is it only GeoSIM that still use CallKey?

GT-SIM anything doing in the UK ?
 

Nothing doing with GT-SIM in the UK. My credit is still showing on their web site, but no action despite a statement from them that they were going to send out new sims or refund the money.
