Experiences With Callblue Gsm?

I took delivery of my Callblue sim about 4 weeks ago but have yet been out of the UK with it.

I can confirm however that Caller ID does not work - when calling from the sim the number comes up as witheld, although obviously the number is displayed when texting. It uses the same number for calling and texting.

I have found that when turned on initially or switching networks manually, the first call the sim receives requires two attempts at calling for the handset to start ringing, the first time the number will ring but the handset wont.

Voicemail is very cool - you can download voicemail as wma attachments from a web portal and play them back on a PC, also from what I've found listening to voicemail is free of charge.

Additionally for UK users, I have found that calling the IOM sim from my O2 contract is counted as inclusive minutes and therefore when leaving the UK I can set my normal phone to full divert and not worry about the cost.

Overall very happy, but will see how it performs in France when I head there later this week.
