Callkey Manx-based SIMs completely offline no calls possible

hrgajek · 02-10-2007, 09:29

Hello World,

as far as I was told, there could be a "non technical problem" on the Isle of Man where Callkey.com (the platform operator) and Manx Telecom (the network operator, a subsidy of o2 plc) are located.

As far as I understood, this problem could last minimum to end of week.

If you dial +44 7624 1xxxxx from a working phone you get an announcement, that "the number is not available."
If you dial e.g. +44 7624 2xxxxx you get another message that "the number is not recognized."

Seems to me, they have blocked our numbers/SIM cards, for whatever reasons.

To learn how many numbers are affected, what are your first two digits after +44 7624 ?? xxxx

Mine are 19xxxx (Globalsim.de) I know customers with 14xxxx (Globalsim.de and GT-SIM)

Are other Area Codes in use with callkey?

I agree that looks very strange a technical problem take so long to return.

But other strange things happens yesterday. Here my GSM mobile efect my computer when is receiving a message, or call or any other information. And yesterday at least 4 times my mobile (with the Geosim) efect my computer. I was happy thinking that the things would return to a regular working, but nothing.
Any way some thing happens in the network, so some times I beleive yet that could be technical problem, but it is hard to beleive that a operator stoped during days. Imagem if happens with Orange because some technical problem, how crazy will be.

And I beleive that they is tring to solve soon, because if all was losted they already advise us. Why they will hide that they never will return or that will take at least months to return?

Anyway congratulations to Geosim that at the same time that the problens happen stoped to sell.

Hello again,

as mentioned by Andy, some Distributors mailed to their customer, that they will replace the SIM to a new one with new number and area code.

Some major changes in the organisation and structure of callkey are on the way, so store your sim cards and wait for the next days to come.

One question at least:

+44 7924 which real network operator is this?

Manx is the operator for both +44-7924 and +44-7624. AFAIK Callkey operated only portions of both numbering plans.

Replacement cards shipped out from eKit use the +44-7924-4 range. The products are the same as the Telestial Passport.
