Not only that the message wasn't charged a single cent, but my credit seems to have infinite validity.
UM is very generous to me!

You are very lucky!

Steve (or others) can you check your balance by navigating the phone menu, select United Mobile then Services then Balance and report what the expiry date says (underneath your balance)

Mine said no expiry.

You're lucky guys. My SIM hasn't arrived yet - all I have so far is an online info: "This SIM card has been upgraded to United Mobile+"

.
BTW, anyone of you has obtained the new SIM in a registered letter? If they send SIM in regular letters, I'm a little bit afraid about mine because the local post office and postmen in particular are excellent in losing letters or delivering them to wrong addresses

Yes - 364 days on my card...

Same here...they sent mine out without including the zipcode. Once I saw the invoice and realized that, I contacted them right away, but it was already sent out they replied (On Saturday am). All the other information is correct. Usually, even with missing zipcode, the US system can still track down the correct delivery address based on the other information (name, city, street name). it just that it will be a couple of days delayed or so. So, we will see...

I've discovered and reported another issue:

If your UM+ phone is switched off callers will be told, that the dialed number doesn't exist instead of being told, that the number is only temporarily not available (tried that from 2 German GSM networks).
With other carriers (VoIP services) nothing happens after dialing a (temporarily unavailable) UM+ number.

Yup...that's the problem I referred to above....when the phone is switched off as noted, instead of going into voicemail (previously with the +423 card the voicemail was active when I recieved the card with a temporary pin as the last 4 digits of the PUK code..now they include a voice mailbox temporary pin) the caller hears a message, "Your international call cannot be completed as dialed. Please check the number and dial again or ask your operator for assistance."

This is not right.

UKSTEVE · 31-07-2007, 18:55

Same here - interestingly, when roaming on O2 UK network, the SIM says voicemail is 171, but this is NU.

Must be a bug - hope they iron this out...

Update - I received mine today in the regular letter but I hadn't noticed it earlier in the snail-mail box - the envelope was really flat

.
I haven't activated the SIM yet.
I'm going to make a partial balance transfer to the new SIM in order to have both +423 and +44 SIMs active simultaneously - has anyone tried if it is really possible?
