I still have 196 Euro in my account. I will never forget the day April 01, 2009. I was in London, relying on my UM 423 SIM card. Outgoing calls did not work anymore from this day on. First I thought, it is because of Obama. He was in London that week. Security reasons, that no calls can be placed. But then I realised the UM debacle. When UM should come back, I will use my remaining load but not re-load anymore.

I wouldn't put 200 EUR onto a supposedly cheap prepaid card (well ... unless some company pays for it for business trips and such but then I wouldn't cry too much for the money).
On the other hand I don't know if UM will really come back. The web site is for sure no indication whatsoever. It all boils down to a balance between liabilities and potential profit for whoever takes over. Overall I think it's a losing proposition as UM was losing money before and they had quite a few loyal customers who now swear they'll never spend any cent with UM.

Me neither!
I think most of their clients will act the same...
