It's just latency in the marketplace. Your short term solution would be to port a number from O2/Vodafone/Orange over to your Lyca/Toggle or Telna/Piranha SIM(s) and the problem is gone.

Going back to wholesale termination, calls to one of the Telna/Piranha numbering ranges (+44-7418-5xxxxxx) is $0.21/minute with Google Voice (as quoted by davidtheprof in another topic) while a low volume wholesale TDM grade interconnect to the same range is US$0.0162.

I only have one other experience - when I asked to have the mailbox deactivated it was done and confirmed by email within 4 hours.

Once the MNP-transfer worked I´ll update the thread.

port in successful It was not necessary to send any SIM, only finding out the PAC from the old provider, and communicating that to the new provider...

Afaik British MNP rules require the PAC code to be provided immediately by phone or within two hours by SMS. Those providers who only offer the latter method indeed require a corresponding request to be texted by SMS, but if you have already gotten your PAC code there is no need for any SMS.

postpaid: O2 on Business XL; prepaid: DE: Aldi Talk, Lidl; UK: 3; BG: MTel, vivacom; RU: MTS; RS: MTS; UAE: du Tourist SIM; INT'L: toggle mobile

Thanks, inquisitor!

That corresponds to what I experienced. I found out the PAC via calling Virginmobile´s hotline, a friendly person from the Phillipines gave me the PAC after 2 minutes.

I just wondered what´s the story, since the port was now 3 days overdue (Tuesday -- Friday). Just as I posted the message in here, the port-confirmation came in by text (literally 2 minutes later).

Thanks again and a nice weekend to all,
Christian

I've tried with a longer call (50 sec), and it's the same: 9ct.

Someone should try in the Netherlands and check if the call charge is applied or not
