Report from Morocco: Celtrek: YES / UM+: NO

[whatt]

Hi,

I am looking leaving for Europe and Nigeria also and wanted to know if UM+ or anyother similar provider works in Nigeria.

Thank you.

Almost all the incoming calls did not ring to the phone. Even though the caller hears a ringing tone. I tried a couple of outgoing, and I did get the callback (did not answer it though). Of course, that does not mean it will work when I try to use it in another country.

It seems like it's not as reliable as the UM +423 number which works flawlessly. Unfortunately, it's very expensive to reach it.

Yes, I have used UM/UM+ and yackie in Nigeria without any problems. Check the respective pages for the rates.

Bossman, thanks for taking the time to reply to my post.

Two more question: were you charged in Pounds or Niara? How more does it cost for to receive incoming calls in Nigeria.

Thanks again.

I was charged in euros by UM+ and yackie is US dollar. It can never be the local currrency (naira). You are charged whatever is listed on the website for the country you are visiting. So, in the case of Nigeria, UM+ is free to receive calls. Yackie is $0.29 to rceive. I would suggest you check out the rates on their respective websites. They are stated clearly there.
