Yeah...it's war out there obviously...

Actually I'm just wondering if UM+ was rushed to the market too soon without the proper testing and we are in effect the beta testers for them.

I guess they saw the handwriting on the wall for the +423 service as I noted earlier because of the escalating termination fees.....

But I wonder ultimately what will happen with these semi UK number (Isle of Man and Jersey)....will there be surcharges on ld carriers for calls to +44 7624 and to +44 7937?

When looking round for my mobile phone contract recently as my upgarde was due, there were less deals available than last year including inclusive calls to +447624(IOM), +447924(IOM), +447937(Jersey) and new WiFi services +447911(Varies location)

Probably they wanted UM+ to be ready as soon as possible for these summer holidays, and this caused these little troubles.

Before buying UM+, I've been looking up among international phone cards (not sim, but those cards you can use from a landline like Eutelia, Vectone, Albacom, ecc.) and they all consider 7937 as any other UK mobile number, and calls to +447937 are quite cheaper than those to +423663. I hope things don't get changed!
