United Mobilelike +423

MATHA531 · 02-02-2009, 13:08

Here's what I'll never understand regarding this...

UM+423 was a very stable, very good, very reliable product.

And then suddenly termination fees to Liechtenstein increased almost 5 fold making it uneconomical for people to call Liechtenstein mobile number.

The question is what was the force behind these increases in termination fees (that have also affected Estonian and Icelandic numbers but those were a bit high to begin with but also jumped through the roof).....were it the regular telcoms who saw their good lives of overcharging for roaming being shoved down their throats? Does the same fate await IOM and Jersey numbers?

Actually I note termination fees, at least from the USA, are a bit higher to most +44 numbers than they are to many other European destinations.

To me, a great believer in conspiracy theories something really smells fishy.

Thank goodness for the eu administrators for the eu roaming rates. May this Ms. Redding be blessed and may she suceed in her endeavors to make receiving of calls 0 throughout the eu ASAP.....

Did any of you receive an email from UM today with a special offer to top up and they will throw in 5 euros more?

Looks pretty desperate to me? I can't see throwing good money after bad at this point?
