Callkey Latest/Is there hope? [merged threads]

mid jan does not seem like a good alternative and we have heard before next week, next month it will be up. Nothing to take serious and does make you wonder how long they will be up next time.

Alternative dual sim seems like some home brew system and not a good alternative .

What you do see is some german based comapnies not offering roaming free but very low roaming rates to eu countries.

For now the only true seriously working sim card using a +44 number seems to be united mobile.

Not only. There are other companies who use Jersey telecom previously using Manx (e.g. Cherymmobile). Also Tellestial sims do still work on Manx network (+44 number)

There are several

Callblue (Jersey Telecom)

Cloud9 (Wire9)

ekit (Manx Telecom)

United Mobile (Jersey Telecom)

Voiceserve (forwarded)

Xfone/Swiftnet (forwarded)

Some of the former Callkey resellers have switched to supplying one of these. I'm not aware of problems with 4 of them (I have no feedback on Voiceserve, which uses the same SIM as Xfone)

There are rumours of 3 or 4 UK products in the near future, and I certainly wouldn't discount them or possible new info about the Callkey SIMs as only wishful thinking.

I can't see why you are keen to decry the dual IMSI ones either. Sunsim seems to work fine with eplus and its other arrangement, though I haven't been to places mentioned by hrgajek, and I assume the other brands on vistream would be similar.

What do you mean by "forwarded"? Are Voiceserve and Xfone/Swiftnet Jersey Telecom SIMs "inside"? And what is the difference between them and e.g. UM+? Is it that their Jersey numbers are "hidden" (Voiceserve "works" of forwarded landline DIDs - RPP payments, whereas Xfone uses a UK "mobile" number +44 7822 and thanks to it is a CPP one)?
