I'm going to make a partial balance transfer to the new SIM in order to have both +423 and +44 SIMs active simultaneously - has anyone tried if it is really possible?

I made this...I transfer partial balance and was ok the 2 sims are actives

received mine yesterday, tranferred half the balance to the new card and both are still working.

I did notice on some incoming call that the caller id did not show up.

The caller id dependes on many factors. I have generally noticed that when calling from non voip providers the id is shown more often.

Yes, this is more a problem of the calling provider rather than of the SIM-card. Most of the very cheap providers here also do not transmit the caller ID as they route on some very strange ways i suppose

BTW I can see caller ID in United Mobile+ when calling from Betamax clones

As someone offerred a link to jersey telekom some post's before, I had a look to the pages of jersey telekom too. If this is realy the carrier of UM+ you find something very interresting following this link...

It says, they will offer free mobile internet access from August 16th on. Lets see what happens.

I also upgraded one of my two UM-Simcards but it haven't arrived yet. Interresting times as a UM user. Funny enough, here in Switzerland they still sell the "old" UM +423 at the post offices. Wondering if they will also offer the UM+ in Switzerland or keep on going with UM +423.

At the moment they have a "summeroffer" that is a Sony Ericsson K520i including the UM +423 SIM-card and 25 Swiss Francs of Balance for retailprice of 99.00 Swiss Francs...

Has anyone in the US that ordered the sim received it? As mentioned earlier, they did not include the zipcode when they mailed it on Friday. So, I am thinking that may be causing the delay. I'll probably wait a couple of more days or so, before I contact them to see if they can cancel it and mail a replacement. Usually the US mail sorting facilities can still deliver mail without a zipcode, but it takes a little longer. So, I am thinking that's what the problem is.

I got my card delivered yesterday in Toronto. It was mailed out on 7/27.

Haven't gotten mine yet but not in a rush. PDF file of the online order form for me shows the zip code but in front of the state. Don't know if it made it on to the actual mailing label. Will let you know when I get it.
On the thought of the +423 card remaining as an offer, that's an interesting thought. Might keep a minimum balance on my old UM card as a backup or if I am in a country where the rates are cheaper with the old card.

Same here...the PDF file of the online order does not have the zip code. it also has my house number after the street name. Of course, I am assuming it goes on to the mailing label exactly as showing in the PDF. Not in much of a rush, but if I get it I will test it out in Aruba, Cuaracao, and St. martin in a couple of weeks when I head out on a Southern Caribbean cruise. If not, I'll just use my +423 as originally planned. First, I will burn up the $13 credit on my yackie sim (even if it means using it on the cruise ship's very high rates) though. Before they go completely out of business. Since, it looks does not look like they are going anywhere.
