In theory, if this switches back on, will these just pick up off from where they were before? i.e. Will all credit still be there, and if you had a call-forward set up, will that still be activated?

in theory, if the callkey number range gets going again. Your mobile will start to work again.

however, the issue with your balance is upto your provider.

My main number is a landline number provided by the local carrier. I can easily forward that number to any other phone, cell or otherwise even if I am thousands of miles away from the landline by making use of the "remote access to call forwarding" feature that has been in the U.S. for 10 or 15 years and, I am sure, is available elsewhere.
Eg. If I am in a country where I am using a prepaid, I forward calls to a Kall8 or Voicestick number which then forwards calls overseas to my prepaid. When at home, I usually just forward calls to my main cell number. IOW, for 20+ years I have only given out my one landline number and simply forward it to the phone I want to use.

I have come to the conclusion that many of these services could work and some do it for serverla year (United Mobile) and some for some month's and than they shut down.

I am now using my UM+ number for incoming calls.

To have your own reliable solution setup your own system. Buy a voip DID number and forward this to your roaming free number.
Whenever your roaming free number goes offline you just use another roaming free card and forward the number to that card.
You only give your customers the voip DID number.

At houme you just pickup the voip did number on a voip line and when not at home it's switched to your mobile.
The only cost you have is the extra cost to forward the voip did number to your roamingfree cellphone. These forwarding cost should not be more than 0.10 euro per minute.

To be safe always have a second roaming free sim card from another provider/network. So when like now manx roam free is offline you just use jersey roamfree (or anather solution)

At around 7pm. Callkey servers went offline for both end users "customers" and for distributors.

No information has been released by callkey about resumption of service or who if any has or will take over the network (callkey)

I think you mean 31/10 since there's no such a date as 31/11.
Anyway, it was a nice disaster

- I suppose that much more customers were affected than in case of the Buytel collapse....

Bossman · 01-11-2007, 11:31

Yep! A nice disaster indeed. Some of the resellers such as freeglobalsim are totally offline. And, they refuse to respond to customers questions.

MATHA531 · 01-11-2007, 11:37

Let's call it like it is....

Callkiey is dead....the sim cards issued by the resellers with the Isle of Man numbers provided by callkey are dead and there is no chance of resusitation. The only question left is how many will get their credit back in some form or another.

One large disaster all around.
