odd
 

the ODD thing is, that my +423 card from UM, shows t-mobile as the carrier.
My ATT card, and my t-mobile card, on the same phone, shows t-mobile. As does the GERMAN t-mobile card I have and use.

Just THIS card, shows voicestream?

anyone?

well voicestream is the old tmobile, so it could be a branded voicestream card.

Still cant find a good call forwarding for a usa number to UM+

huh?
 

you mean, the brand new +44 area code United-Mobile card I received could be a branded Voicestream card?

Now THAT would be odd.

What happened with Globe7?

I assume you have tried kall8.com or voicestick.com? Voicestick's "next2nothing" service would be cheaper.

Voicestick isn't free anymore if you want an inbound number. It costs a couple of dollars a month plus 1 and change cents US per minute.

Doesnt work right. Theres a issue with the ringing.

I have not read the 30+ pages of this thread :) Does this list match others experience?

Also I am having sporadic luck with www.callbackworld in combination with United Mobile

Does anyone know if a transfer of some of the balance from one UM card to the other counts as activity for computing card expiration? If so, I know when the next time is that I need to generate some more "activity". If not, I probably need to send an SMS or something to keep them alve.

I'm kind of at the point that I have too many SIMs. I've had some cards die on me because I couldn't keep track of the occasional activity requirements.

Interesting question. My immediate answer would be that it doesn't count.

I think the English wording of the FAQ is misleading, since it states: "SIM card and credit will become invalid if the credit has not changed for nine months." Credit does change if you make a transfer!

However, the French FAQ is more consistent with my immediate answer:"La carte SIM et le crédit deviennent caducs au bout de neuf mois à compter de la dernière utilisation." (and I wouldn't say that recharging is an "utilisation").

Italian FAQ further confirms this, as it states, after having used the same wording ("from the last use of the sim"): "this applies both to the initial credit and to the subsequent recharges").
I would say, therefore, that the transfer doesn't count, but it's my own interpretation...
