I have both UM and CallKey. I've used the latter a lot more, but it would probably be because of potential extra advantages to UK users, like availability from within inclusive minutes on some networks (even though they don't know it), so I can forward my O2 number straight to it.

The number prefix is out of the sequence allocated to UK mobiles - 077, 078, 079 - so it may be worth exploring tariffs with several providers.

While many blanket define all +447 as UK mobiles, some others don't enable +447624 at all, or may even default to count it as a landline; in which case get a landline diverted to it, and use callback to that number (but who can guess how long this would last?).

I'm wondering if the availability of Orange Israel SIMs that was underlying Yackie will resurface elsewhere. There are some pretty cheap tariffs for Israel Mobile.
