Well I think they discovered, thought or whatever that fewer and fewer people were using the +423 cards due to the unbelievably high price that telcoms instituted to call Liechtenstein mobiles...the question still remains why these prices went up so high so quickly and who is ultimately responsible.

As I have noted, it is interesting that on those services which cannot distinguish one +44 card from another, prices to UK mobiles in some cases remain much higher than say prices to German or French mobiles (see cbw and enlinea rates to UK mobiles)...also my cheap ld service in the USA (1016868 does not seem able to complete calls to either Jersey or Isle of Man mobiles (get a fast vusy signal!)....and then there is the problem still not apparently resolved that when the phone is off, the caller gets a message, at least here in the USA when indeed you are using a service that can complete a call to the Jersey number, "your international call cannot be completed as dialed. Please check the number and dial again or ask your operator for assistance."

What givess? : (did notify UM customer service of this but have not received a response)...
