Just back from a week in London....just for the hell of it, I took my new UM+ sim card just to run it through its paces...

1. Sent a text message from a T Mobile US sim and it worked......

2. Called my UK mobile number from it and it worked (didn't answer the call) as did caller ID.

3. Reversed it called with my UK mobile to UM+ and it worked...and so did caller ID.

4. Making sure my T Mobile US had de-registered from its roaming partner, called my US T Mobile sim card form UM+ and it worked as did caller ID.

I didn't allow any of the calls to be completed so I have no idea of quality of calls but everything seems to be working...of course using it in the UK to call the USA is silly as I picked up a free T Mobile UK sim card and can call the USA for 3p/minute using your call by ringing 07755 220 220 and upon being answered entering the number I am calling with the international calling code 00 and ending with # and yes indeed I was billed 3p/minute off my T Mobile UK prepaid...can't do much better than that even with a calling card (no I don't bring my lap top with me...bloody UK carry on restrictions which are really onerous and seem to be done only in the UK not allowing me to carry my lap top in addition to the one carry on...absolutely idiotic so can't use the voip carriers which may be even cheaper but who can really complain about calling the USA from the UK for 3p/minute)....hopefully I will now be able to use the UM+ service for my next trip in January having let my Dutch sim expire when I'll be in Amsterdam..

Of course the negative still remains the lack of voicemail and the message the number does not exist when a caller dials with the phone off..that indeed is irksome...also cbw and enlinea rates are in the vicinity of 40¢ or more to UK mobiles; highway robbery if you ask me....but fingers crossed O9 still works for outgong...incoming will be on UM+ with my verizon call forwarding charging me for calls to UK mobiles (although I am tempted to use call forwarding to a toll free enlinea number which is relatively cheap)...
