Hello,

From some e-mails, I got from Global Termination:

"Die +447624 und +447625 sind unsere eigenen Nummern. Wir benutzen 3 english Netze, unter anderem auch MANX.
Die Gespräche werden aber nicht von diesen 3 Netzwerkbetreibern sondern von uns GT terminiert."

Translation:

"+447624 and +447625 are our own numbers. We are using 3 English networks, between others MANX. Calls are not terminated by these 3 networks, but by us."

Unfortunately, I don't find the e-mail, where he mentioned which UK networks he refers to. I darkly remember, that it was o2, Orange (and Manx).

But I never saw GT-SIM with other prefixes than +447624.

Furthermore, Global Termination wrote:

Zwischen Januar und Februar, 2006 werden wir mit WC in den USA ein eigenständiges Agreement treffen und dann natürlich IP traffic
zusätzlich anbieten. Dann bieten wir auch GPRS in Ländern an in denen wir noch kein Roaming Agreement haben.

Die Zahl der Roaming Länder sollte im Frühjahr 2006 sprunghaft ansteigen, wie gesagt wir benutzen 3 english Netze nicht eins.

Translation:

"Between January and February 2006, we will make an independent agreement with WC in the USA, which allows us to provide additional IP-traffic. We will then offer GPRS in countries, where we don't have a roaming agreement.

The amount of roaming countries should "increase by leaps and bounds" (increase dramatically) in spring 2006, as I said, we use 3 English networks, not one English network."


My comment: I did not realize this "increase of roaming countries".

Furthermore, I remember that they told me, that by February 2006, they wanted to install an "SS7-patch" in their switch, to make CLIP working. This did not happen until now...

Kind regards,
