Trouble dialing out from U.S. with United Mobile SIM

[Bossman]

Try this. Store the number on the sim card(make sure it's the +country code number format), it will show up under the phone book under services. Then try to dial just like you did to get the balance.

Only problem, is that when I enter a number, it tries to dial out, but I then get a "Service Unavailable" message. I have tried it on both phones, and get the same on each. I even tried registering one on T-Mobile, and the other on Cingular -- to the same effect.

Any hints?
