Bluefire Wireless - a Manx SIM in transition?

cloud9 · 24-04-2008, 01:12

Bluefire Wireless were originally a Callkey customer but signed up with Cloud9/Wire9 just before Callkey went pop and offered a free replacement for the new Cloud9 sim, which uses a +4478722 number. Cloud9 are a full IoM operator to compete with Sure and Manx but also offering the Global SIM service to distributors directly unlike any other MNO has ever done before, ie providing the distributor the callback switch as well as sim cards. Nifty one stop shop idea!!!

India and Pakistan are problematic due to the political situation and I believe they have a problem in UAE currently as they only use USSD for callback, but everywhere else is good.

There are a few operators with Cloud9 now it seems.

I am trying to use my +4478722 in some parts of the world and can tell:
UAE - not working
Oman - incoming yes, outgoing no
Qatar - not working
Kuwait - not working
Saudi - not working
Bahrain - not working
Israel - o.k.
!Switzerland: incoming calls are charged!
Spain: o.k.
Germany: o.k.
Czech Republic: o.k.

Next week I will try it in Istanbul/Turkey.

If the GCC area remains as of today I will use up my balance and nail the SIM to the wall. It is useless for me if GCC, India and Pakistan are not covered.
Personally I feel cheated by these guys but it's not worth it to do anything.

T-Mobile • Fonic • Etisalat • Hala • Airtel Nokia 6230 / Nokia 6230i / Nokia 2610 / CECT MT6227 (Dual SIM) - awesome!
