Are you sure about that?

It's here: http://www.united-mobile.com/downloa...tes_en_eur.pdf
and in the rate calculator, however not here:

BTW, what the hell does * mean at some countries in the UM roaming list - incoming calls only?

Thank you for the information.
Is UM one of the companies that charges a service charge or initiation fee for outgoing calls?
or is the per minute rate the only charge for calls?

[Bossman]

Yes. UM charges a connection fee of $0.30 per call.

The free incoming in the Bahamas is just recent. Here is an email they sent to current customers.

Because they have recently added the 3 countries you can not find them there yet. But they are at the calculator. The star (*) means that service level varies.....Is not guaranted I assume
