Pricing is not an issue as I use my own callback system with voip.

Coverage is good the same for european countries, only asia, africa etc there are some difference. But I do get your point.

As I said before the biggest disadvante of +423 seems to be the rates calling this number are increasing and increasing.
+44 mobile rates seem to be good and does not matter is you dial IOM mobile of Jersey mobile or uK mobile. Most operators just have 1 rate for +44 mobile.

It appears in another thread that the +44 numbers UM is using are "super premium" numbers. My guess is that as operators discover what it is costing them to connect calls, they'll block them or raise the rates.
I assume these super premium numbers are like what 976 and 900 numbers are in the states. The holder of a 900 number gets a piece of the action.

There is no such thing in +44 mobile numbers.
