My suspicion is that the reason could easily be more prosaic, that the phone number series of 09 Mobile is 2 digits longer than all other numbers from Iceland, and also begins with a different number 3 that isn't used elsewhere in the country.
Thus perhaps some providers do not have it defined in their dialplans, just as for +447n with n = 6 or less, +446 doesn't exist, +44844 and +44871 excluded by many, +44870 by some, and maybe originally +423 & 9 digits of course
Perhaps this idea isn't so fanciful, as I found that a +49 & 11-digit German mobile phone was impossible to reach from certain providers for a while

Hi Andy,
Your logic makes sense, however the real reason is as I previously specified. The +3543 series has been around for a long time now and the issue is with voip carriers not breaking out certain higher rate series. It would be commercially impossible to offer free incoming on a normal rate Iceland Mobile.
There are other reasons for the +4484x and +4487x, those are "national" rate (in many cases revenue sharing numbers) that aren't really designed for access outside the UK ( most of the ranges at least).
If you really need to make calls to +354380 via voip, there are indeed carriers that will do the Iceland +354380 series, check out i.e.
www.voipjet.com, but the rates are €0.5 - €0.6.
Anyone who has worked with bundled destinations and rate tables understands the scenario first hand.
