Can't reach UM, can't reach my UM UK number, no reply to e-mail - Page 15

Today, I tried calling my UM 423 number to see what would happen. My balance is 72cents and I have already mailed the SIM to someone.

Anyway, I call [using an address entry, I did not make a mistake dialing.] and get some music and then it becomes clear it is a phone sex line.

Fortunately, I did not give the number out to anyone!

I have also called my number 2 days ago (saturday) and it rang well.

I have come across what you describe when dialing via cheap voip routes.
Try one more time using a more expensive carrier

I am new to posting here, but have been following this thread since my UM +44 card stopped working. The weird thing is this past February at a conference in Barcelona someone high up in United Mobile told me SIM4Travel was a white label of United Mobiles +44 service. I just want to know 2 things

1.) When did they split off from United Mobile?
2.) Did they have a “heads up” before the rest of us and if so when?

Also I know United Mobile had just launched a Dual IMSI SIM, meaning it was a SIM card with both a USA number and a +44 number. Last I saw GeoSIM was launching a similar product and has now revised its release date till sometime this month. I would love to know what all these companies know that we don’t know about United Mobile

I've deleted the car advert for privacy reasons, as Effendi did the last time it was posted

Could I ask yet again that pointless speculation is left out of this discussion. A car for sale does not imply anything at all about the financial status of a company

They were testing a dual SIM, and showing it at the event you went to. It hadn't actually been launched yet.

@andy
Now you're really overdoing things. What privacy can a public company claim, that is publicly advertising a sales offer? May we mention U**** M**** here any longer at all?

No need for you to exaggerate

Nothing wrong with mentioning the company, or discussing the product as it works or does not, but some of the removed comments go further than observation of something that is in any case an irrelevant detail.

I think the ad with the car is not very interesting, it can be funny to laugh about it once, but apart from that it's of no use. So please go back to the topic, thanks.

I think, simcardman has thrown in a very interresting question regarding UM. To me, it also looked a little bit like the guys over at Sim4Travel did exactly know what will happen to UM before. Specialy after my phonecall with Mobilkom LI, in which the name Sim4Travel has been mentioned not only once. Thinking back about that phonecall, the lady told me they are in negotiations with other travel sim providers to bring back +423 to market. For a person that answered my questions (on the phone with Mobilkom LI) in a way and telling me, that she is not knowledgeable about Travel Simcards, she definatetely spoke out the name Sim4Travel as a reliable replacement with +44 number very quick....
