I already mentioned that voipfone does this clearly. It considers all the range +423663 as personal/premium and charges it slightly higher than mobile phones in the country
The question is what "international services" really means. It might be either MVNO like United Mobile, or some shared-revenue (aka premium rate) numbers, or possibly something different (e.g. high-rated "personal" numbers which forward to "real" mobile/landline number somewhere in the world) or something else....

My landline operator despite its undoubtely horrible rate to Liechtenstein mobiles (about 1 EUR/min) also has the following rates:

Liechtenstein (VAS) about 2.70 EUR/min

and:

Liechtenstein (Int.Mob.Svc) about 1.70 EUR/min

I'm afraid that UM may be the latter case. The operator doesn't provide numbering ranges of course :P. Anyway, even their basic rate to Liechtenstein mobiles is crazy enough in order not to use this operator for calling UM.
