And here's the reply I've just received from Cherry:

"You are correct that our service has been suspended because of Callkey.
The new SIM card will be a +44 UK based number, but is not a Manx system.

I am not at liberty to say who our new provider is just yet, but the clarity
of the calls is fanstastic. I've been using one myself for a few days
testing it out, and I'm very impressed with the quality and speed of the SIM
card.

The prices will fluctuate, some tariffs will become cheaper and some more
expensive. I have the pricing in front of me, and I am in the process of
putting it up on the website just this morning. So if you could check the
website later on today for pricing information."

Hmmm. Still a +44 number but not Manx, so is it Jersey?

The prices are now up on the Cherry website, seem to be free incoming in EU countries. Can anyone guess or work out who the new provider might be from the rates table?

Well...a logical guess would be Jersey based following in the footsteps of UM+........

I just got off the phone with someone at CallBlue as i wanted to find out where they stand and if they are affiliated with Callkey in anyway. Apparantly they are not and are still offering a UK mobile number.
According to the post by MATHA531, UM+ is the only one still standing offering +44 numbers, soooo is CallBlue also a network??
He also told that they will be offering free incoming in E.U in the next day or so...hopefully it'll be up before my trip next week to Italy......

i think i'm confused..

Callblue is using +44 Jersey numbers, they wrote my by e-mail with the details of their GSM-EURO offer, which you can find here:

Nothing seems to have changed at Callblue since they came back online... Existing Callblue customers have to top-up $50 to be allowed to switch to the GSM EURO plan.

I just looked at the website, no mention of a new tariff. I was reading some old threads when callblue went down, it seems that they did replace all the old SIMS with new ones with credit. Vlad..where did you see the $50 change fee to euro?

It's not a fee, but a requirement to add another $50 in credit to my account.

I opened a ticket earlier today to get my card switched over.
