United Mobile--coming back?

[andy]

still registers on Vodafone UK, always has

I suspect other providers will be as I said on 17/10, and I won't try, but BT landline, which did ring the phone then, now reaches a voicemail message

Hello Prion,

you're right, the UM 423 SIM-Cards can be reached again (since yesterday 5th Nov, evening)
Incoming calls are possible (i did a test-voice-call for round about 1 minute

I cannot say, what's happening there at the moment in detail.

If you like to bet, see to your bet-shop and place a bet on United-Mobile

BTT: I'll try to find out some more stressable news, if possible. Stay tuned.

Hello everyone,
I guess everyone is still waiting and hopes for his number, uh? Same here...

Well, I just tried to call my UM number... here are the updated results (tests took place a couple of minutes ago):

Calling from land line, rings perfectly... I even picked it up, and was able to talk. Making a notice here, that the voice was not delayed at all and it was crystal clear! (previously voice was kind of bad and with a lot of delay - up to 1-2 seconds... seems someone is working on it??? )

Call from my Vodafone mobile number, rings perfectly, and can speak - very clear too.

Send sms from my Vodafone mobile number, nothing is received.

From UM number though, I can place no calls, or send any sms...

Caller ID also works from my Vodafone mobile and land line.

This afternoon (09 November) "Die gewählte Rufnummer ist vorübergehend nicht erreichbar... Please try again later."

The bet offices could have sleepless nights

Any news on these sim cards? Great that the +423's are working and hope the +44 numbers will also start to work.

Good Evening,

the UM 423 SIM-Cards cannot be called at the moment. I don't know if this is a temporarily issue (constructing a new network/platform) or if they've decided to switch off all the issued SIM-cards and numbers.

The UM 44 cards are gone, for ever I think. Dialing the +44 7937 gives you an announcement, that this numbers are invalid.

There are some rumours about problems with some +44 7624 and/or +44 7924 SIMcards. Ex-German-Provider "globalsim" has left Germany and can only be reached by email at this time. Gobalsim started its business with "Riiing" SIM-Cards issued by ... United-Mobile.

I have called my Um phone today and it went through to voicemail (the sim was not on a cell). So it appears the problem is fixed. can you check also?

I have discovered that there appears to be a problem in calling the whole range of +423663 not only the UM numbers. The problem appears to be affecting other numbers also which are allocated to other services besides UM. I do not know if this problem will remain for the other services also.
This whole calling range is given to Mobilkom I think

I will keep you updated about this

Hi Prion,

I tested two different numbers: 1st one went to voicemail, as the battery of my mobile was empty
Second went through.

But the chance to reach UM423 mobile phones went worse, german mobile carrier E-Plus connects now with a male voice telling me erotic stories, T-Mobile connects sometimes wrong (erotic stories), o2-de connects correctly.

to be continued.
