Bluefire Wireless - a Manx SIM in transition?

I've just found it in the Google ads on the forum.

After reading this:
http://www.bluefirewireless.com/Blue...uideVer1.5.pdf
it seems to me that it's a Manx 7924 SIM.

On the home page, however, there's the following message:

Important announcement for existing customers

Upgrade your BLUEFIRE SIM now
We have just completed a programme of upgrades to the BLUEFIRE system that will add functionality and ensure compatibility with the latest technology. In order to be able to continue to use the BLUEFIRE system after the end of October 2007, it is important that you apply NOW for the latest version of the BLUEFIRE SIM card.

Simply click below in order to complete and submit a form giving us your existing card details and mailing address. We will then send you a replacement card free of charge.
You will receive a new BLUEFIRE phone number and your current credit balance will automatically be transferred to the replacement card.

The coverage seems to be rather like that of 09, not Manx Telecom.

The zones are strangely named when compared with the countries included in them.
"Europe - EU" contains eg. Andorra, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Turkey.
"Europe - Non-EU & N. Asia" contains Czech Rep., Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Romania and a country named "Kakakhstan"

.
"North America & Canada" (isn't Canada in N.America BTW

?) contains American Samoa.
But the best is "French Guinea" in "Africa & Indian Sub-continent"

.

Couldn't find the list of free incoming countries.

OK, it's not strange these days to have a US office with a UK phone number, but why it is the only publicly announced one???

The SIM costs $70 with $10 credit.
