BINGO! 423 is it! Rep thought it would be the same for postpaid. So, your UM card booked on TMO USA is guaranteed to fail to send an SMS to 423 because the country code 423 is blocked. Nice work.

681 Wallis and Futuna
290 Saint Helena
247 Ascension
423 Liechtenstein

A nice set . But I don't quite understand what do they mean by "blocked"? No SMS to those countries or also no voice calls??? After all, all the islands mentioned above seem not to have any mobile networks to receive SMS so the SMS-only "blockade" would have no real meaning
