My general thought about switching carriers by service providers/resellers.

I dare to say we already have experienced some operations of this kind.

The first one is an Italian reseller of Hop Mobile which, started selling UM branded as Hop Mobile

.
BTW, they have a funny map of Europe with a large lake in the place of Moldova http://www.hopmobile.net/hop_english...ori/italy.html

Another one is Globalsim.net from Germany which used to sell rebranded Riiing/UM SIMs and it switched to a Manx. As for them, AFAIR at least they sold both +423 and +447624 top-ups for some time....

The difference is that the existing globalsim.net customers can still use their cards at the old rates and recharge them without much problems at UM website. Seems completely different here.

The rate calculator on the callblue.gt-sim web site has been updated to reflect the correct rates.

Looks like the rate change has happened over the last couple of days. Just checked and incoming to Portugal and Malta is $0.00 per minute.

To Billy..... it really looks as though we have been dealing with GT-Sim all the time, even though the sim was branded Call Blue. So each time you topped up, if you gave your credit card details, it was almost certainly GT-Sim who collected the money... so they already have your details if they wanted to scam some money off you.

I would be more concerned about proceeding with Call Blue, who will almost certainly be a brand new company, with no track record, in a very competitive marketplace where margins must be small.

I duly filled in contact details on callblue.gt-sim.com and yes all the previous call details were present.

Then I started having doubts about the call rates but I see that they are different on the rate calculator for callblue.gt-sim.com and gt-sim.com

Going to Morroco tomorrow so will see what happens with call charges if the sim still works as it's the 20/4
