Any Experience With Callblue, Globalsim, Geosim?

I bought my Callblue sim through 0044 in the UK. I've been using it on and off for a few months and for the most part its fine: sms works flawlessly and was cheap (was 0.15?/sms until last week, now 0.38?!). Outgoing call rates were fine and the callback method works fine most of the time.

What I am having problems with however is incoming calls. 90% of incoming calls will not ring the handset. The caller hears a ringing tone which eventually goes to voicemail, but the handset simply wont ring. I usually ask a caller to try 3 or 4 times to make the handset ring, which simply isnt practical if I want to give out the number.

Callblue support is very poor and I'm not very impressed with 0044 - they just forwarded my emails to Callblue who dont reply. With the rate hike this week it makes the sim look very poor in comparison to other IoM sims so I'll be shopping around for another solution.
