There are several companies in the same group as Story, with a number of callthrough and calling card products, and with resellers who have several affiliates themselves. The SIMs were launched about a month ago, though foreshadowed with a few rumours planted by affiliates.

It amuses me they've gone for these SIMs as I discussed Isle of Man numbers with one affiliate several months ago, and global roaming SIMs in January last year, so I reckon they might be a bit slow off the mark. An email a few weeks ago thanks me for my good wishes and irony [well, he did describe it as a new product he had just launched].

On another forum, people have remarked about the top-up conditions - two or three required per year apparently, but I haven't checked if this applies to them all ...
