The question is does he want to change it? Why should he do that since this is how the UM makes money (revenue)

Why do lots of people buy a roaming free card. Some for their family others are truck drivers and it becomes less interesting if they have to call an expensive lichtenstein mobile number.

On the other hand IOM card have a +44 number and still they also seem to make money.
As for UM part of their income will come from caling their number but just a small part. Carriers make the most profit.

This may be true for many cases but probably not for this. This is very expensive call and cannot easily be justified by an increase in call cost by carriers alone.
