United Mobile+ (new service with +44 Jersey number) - Page 5

I've just called CS and they told me the +423 SIM won't be deactivated
- unless you transfer your credit to the new SIM
or
- unless your credit declines to € 0.

Regarding the roaming in China UM is dependant on roaming agreements and fees of some other network operators and so pricing is not subject to their free choice.
Why don't you buy a Chinese prepaid SIM? China's mobile networks are reachable at landline rates, so even a call forwarding from the US wouldn't be expensive.

As I don't use Vonage, I can't tell you their rates, but voipcheap.com charges € 0,08/min to UM+ numbers. If you want to know the price of Vonage just call UM CS for a minute and check your bill afterwards: +44 7937 099 911

Anyway, upgrading makes sense, since you'll get the UM+ SIM for free (only if ordered until July 31st) and the +423 SIM will stay activate as long as you have credit (which you can still recharge even after upgrading).

I just signed up for the free upgrade and now my account just shows that my card has been upgraded to UM+ (but no +44 number is showing). I was never asked for a shipping address for the sim or any other data. Is this other people's experience as well? Does that just mean that they'll ship a sim card to whatever address they have on file and that the credit gets transferred on activation?

Whatever shipping address is in your profile is what they will use I think. At least that's the one showing up on my invoice when I click on orders, then click on the invoice(pdf). Yes, you are correct, no number is assigned yet. May be the new number will need to be registered once you receive it. I believe you actually have to transfer the credit yourself.

EDIT: Order is showing as shipped and there is now a number assigned. It will have to be activated via the PUK code on the sim upon receiving it. After which credit can be added/transferred.

So you mean that when I have, lets say 10 euros of credit on the +423 card, and I transfer only 5 euro to the new +44 card, I have two cards active at the same time? So only when transfering the complete 10 euros (so my balance on the +423 card is 0) my +423 card is disabled?

Wonder if there will be any changes to terms and conditions re topup amounts / frequency. Any gotchas in the small print?

No, in UM's FAQs it says:

I think the minimum topup for both cards is 25 euros....

prion · 27-07-2007, 14:39

They should have a shipping address from you. The one that the old card was shipped to.

Does anyone have the rates for the UM+ for companies like enlinea and cbw? I continue to need to have a callback option, but looking for a pretty cheap one.

Bummed that China is gone, but could use this in other prices if it lowers the Call back costs to the phone.

Anyone have experience transfering balances, or converting balances to $ from Euro? I had the first Riiing card in Euro, but $$ would work better for me in the long run.
