As others have pointed out, betamax does not (as far as I know) breakout Iceland mobile into separate series, for this reason they won't terminate to any Iceland mobile that costs more than average. This is the same case for many other voip providers. You can easily find voip providers that do terminate to Yackie +354380 such as voipjet etc, as the break out the series, but of course the call then costs €0.5 to €0.6 per minute after it's way through all the carriers along the way. You will not be able to find a legitimate, cheap way to access the +354380 numbers as they are designed for free incoming, so caller pays and the rates on them are higher than normal. Any provider that does terminate cheaply to these numbers is losing money (or some carrier along the way).

But I would like to clarify - the DID numbers are not provided for revenue purposes, the +354 numbers are actually preferred, but because of concerns with voip access etc. we advertise the DID more than we would otherwise do. Our DIDs do NOT forward to any +354380 Iceland number (that's not the way roaming mobile networks work)

The DID numbers are provided as a value added service for you, our customers.
They also have very good access from almost any voip carrier, so if reachability is an issue, then the DIDs solve that completely.
