Cherry Mobile - Page 2

free sims - wonder if they'll be flooding onto ebay!!

I was going to go for a Cherry under their old system (where you got a real deal if putting 20 on the card), but missed it - ended up going with ekt as a cheap disposable one.

So will try for this, though the O2 offer might be okay too (they've bought "be" who do broadband in the UK and rumoured there's some good offers coming - playing catchup to a few other telecom co's)

It would be nice as these companies move to a mainland UK providers if they could drop the callback routine in the UK and make the SIM behave like a local UK SIM when in country.

Calling costs on this sim are not cheap by any means. There is also a $0.34 connection for outgoing calls.

It is Jersey telecom. It is the same connection charge that UM has.

I would rather not have this connection charge though!

Hi - are you sure about this connection charge as I can't see it mentioned on the Cherry website? Cheers. Peter

For successfully connected outgoing calls, there is a one time connection charge of £0.17

Thanks Prion!

Bizarre - when I check the Cherry tariffs page using Safari as the web-browser on my Mac that line with the connection charge does not appear.
But when I check it using Firefox as the web-browser it is there! (-:

Ah the sweet joys of owning a Mac!

But has anyone actually received a new Cherry sim yet?

hawkdeira · **new sim card Cherry -** 18-10-2007, 11:28

Well my new Cherry sim card arrived this morning. And guess what? It's a United Mobile card with a Jersey number! The card is actually branded UM and has a +44 7937 xxx xxx number.

Now why do I need another UM+ card when I already have one direct from UM . . . (-:
