In the US you can choose which number will be shown for outgoing calls, outside USA always the +44 number will be shown.
Inbound calls in the US will be 19ct/min, the tariffs will be similar than on the UM+ card.
More details in german here: teltarif.de News: +44/+1: United Mobile kombiniert zwei Rufnummern auf einer SIM

Chris, if they can do that, that will put them a step up on everybody...unfortunately I cannot understand a word of German...any mention in the article of a time frame...

If this is all true, they could make a mint...it would in effect be a prepaid mobile in the USA (and Canada too which also uses country code 1??) and would prices be the same when roaming say in Europe????

If it is what it seems, I might swallow my anger at the 0,19€ set up fee to receive calls!
