We went back to the seller with further queries about this 'too good to be true offer'. Particularly to press the point about (a) the 077 numbers suggested in their earlier response, and (b) whether it will be sold on the High Street (so that it can be seen before purchase).

Replies:
"No I will not be selling via retail at present. Because of my lack of bandwidth, My focus is to concentrate on high end corporate business users. The handset will have a UK identity. That identity will be a range of numbers, inc 077. No decision has been made to utilise Manx Telecom number range. Trials will begin in a few weeks across the UK."

I still can't believe there are 077 numbers available that will permit free roaming and 30p a minute international calls (surely the 077 number range is mainstream, eg O2 etc). But the latest response is toned down to "a range including 077 numbers".

If you're game Ken press the point with the seller about the identity of the 'unique 'patented' worldwide roaming SIM' mentioned in the advert.

So on balance I guess it's probably one to avoid - though I'd love to be proved wrong! And with one day to go on ebay there are no bidders still.

Cheers
