Hi Bbob,
the high interconnect rates to +423-663 was the business model of UM. They got more money for each incoming call so You (as an UM customer) had to pay less to nothing for incoming.
The UM+ modell seems more attractive to customers: Low interconnect tariffs for callers, but remains enough money to switch to the desired country?
The Liechtenstein Telekom received a significant increase of Telecom Traffic since the existence of UM. (Can be found on the pages of Liechteneiner Amt für Kommunikation)
I agree with you: The sharing of the +423-663 with "red-light" and or premium-services is a problem indeed, as national telcos intend to block +423-663
a) to protect their local (0)900 "premium" services.
b) to protect customers from surprising expensive calls
One viable solution could the shift from +423-663 to +423-7 which is the "normal" mobilephone numbering range of Liechtenstein.
73 & 55 (Regards)
