Still just rumours. Everything I read about the current problems appears to point to financial troubles at Callkey (the usual one, big loans, some revenue, but no profit).

There hasn't been any mention of regulatory problems, and it's hard to see why there should be. What the IOM (and other) carriers are doing is perfectly legal. There's no subsidy of any sort on these number ranges (indeed the opposite, this is an expensive place to operate from). No "free ride" to end.

I notice Truphone uses +44 7624 as well. Has anybody had any problems with them?
