"My Account" web page at United Mobile is indeed up and running. Accurate balance and number is listed as active (+44). Recharge link works, but not new SIM purchase. So who knows? Seems odd that this nearly full access would be added if they didn't anticipate a chance of returning to service at some point.

In the meantime, other providers have started circling the wounded UM waters and have sweetened the "send us your UM SIM and we'll send you a free SIM" offer. A g-news search shows OneSIMcard (based in Boston USA) is offering a free SIM with $10 USD credit, looks like free shipping as well (perhaps to USA only?). Some of their rates look competitive with UM. (In the 1 for 1 trade, search also shows German provider Sunsim to offer UM'ers a 15 Euro card for 14.95 Euro.)

With all due respect to our forum mate EasyRoam-, the OneSIMcard offer seems to answer "Yes" to the question "Can you really expect us to also give you free call credit as well" (posed in the "Free sim card offer for united mobile customers" thread.). All "free offers" are essentially marketing costs, some decide it's worthwhile and others do not.
