Years from now, when they look back on this era, will there still be several unanswered questions most notably being this....for a while UM was by far the most stable of the international roaming companies at least for me IMHO.....that was a time when my LD carrier charged 10¢/minute for calls to +423 numbers with a termination fee of 1¢/minute for +423 mobiles...while CBW charged 16¢/minute to call back to the USA from free reception zones....then....

1. Who was responsible for the dramatic (and I mean dramtic) increase in termination fees to +423???? Was it other telcoms to protect their revenues? Hm...

2. What effect did the eu tariffs have on this whole thing (I think substantial as for Europeans, at least, there were now alternatives for roaming namely using their own carriers and paying relatively inexpensive eu rates) while non Europeans had to bear the brunt of the increases.

3. What happened to O9 (and by extension Yackie)? Here one day, goine the next.

Of course, we could mention riiing (well they were united mobile), hop, ryan air

Now the troubles at UM....(and by extension how are the Estonian carriers doing?)

Some day the truths will all come out, now won't they.

Ugggh- that hurts because I bought a +44 UM sim two weeks ago due to the constant "Network Busy" issues on my UM +423 sim.

No Problem. You can ask the customer support to shift the money to your just fresh bought UM44 SIM-Card.

LOL! If only it were that easy! I have asked them to do this every other day for more than two weeks now! No response and no transfer.

@Kupe - you've got a private Message in this Forum. Have a look on it.

@all:

I've just contacted UM. The Data via GPRS function with UM44 (UM+) SIM-Cards is not yet available but under construction. This needs a complete update of the User database systems.

If your Money is transferred from the UM423 to the UM44SIM, the UM423 Number says "the person you are calling is not available", Voice Mail is switched off, then.

They are probably making some updates. May be for accounts to reflect whatever changes they are implementing with the +423/+44 transfer.

At least they have a presentable Not available (404) message. Some sites will just present you with the generic IE message which is not professional at all.
