United Mobile And Callbackworld- First Impressions

kupe · 08-07-2006, 01:25

Hey gang-

Just got back from my first trip to Europe with my United Mobile SIM card. I was in Venice, Italy, and the available networks were ITIM, Vodaphone, and IWIND. I tried all three, though the one the phone seemed to default to was ITIM.

My experience was that I got my callback from CBW about one try in three. I had no problem dialing the call to CBW. UM would callback as advertised, and I'd let it ring once as CBW advises, then I hung up. About one time in three, I would then get my callback from CBW.

I tried variations on how many rings I waited. I tried a half-ring, one full ring, one and a half, two rings, etc. Still, success rate about one-third.

Any thoughts on how to achieve a better success rate? I'm heading to Zurich tomorrow, so I'll post if my results are similar.

Thanks!

Dave
