In the end, it's not that I need to use the SIM card here in the U.S. It would be expensive to do it, but I thought it was the best way to keep the card active. According to UM's policy, the card has to be "used" every nine months or it will expire. I generally only travel abroad in the summer, so that presents a problem. Instead of making an occasional short call, I can add money to my account online to keep it active, but $30 is the minimum amount and since I mainly use it for free incoming calls, it doesn't make sense to accumulate $30 credits to it every nine months. If I can get it to work somewhere else in the U.S. that'll be good enough. I'll give it a try this weekend in New Hampshire, and I'll be in PA in a few weeks time... One last thing. I was interested in one poster's comment about Nokia phones being problematic with callback services. I can still return the Nokia phone I bought and exchange it for another. How are the Motorola's for call quality and battery life? |

![]() Dear Prof:
There are or were issues with US T-MO and +423 #s. See previous posts here. T-MO has basically BLACKLISTED calls/SMS to/from +423. At least this was my experience and confirmed by calls and emails with T-MO and UM customer support last year. Maybe that has changed; I don't know. You may indeed be billed by UM, but your SMS will not be delivered and, I believe, not received, if you register on T-Mobile. My experience. One reason I switched to the UM+ card.
