This should be the Lycamobile UK voice mail that has nothing to do with the local Lycamobile numbers. I cannot reach that number from any phone, not even from Toggle. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I have deactivated the voice mail.

I also had my voicemail de-activated, and call diverts (which I cannot change) from my number also point to +447404000231.

Maybe you should check if you also get the "this number is not assigned"-announcement!?

Thanks for the hint!

There´s a lot of movement in the market right now. t-mobile.de suddenly offers an EU-roaming package at €5extra/month, which allows using your "national" data throughout EU+EWR+CH, plus it includes calls to Germany + within the country visited.

The mentioned orange-offer doesn´t include enough data for my liking.

simquadrat.de offers a flatrate at 19.95 to all of EU+EWR+CH, albeit only from Germany.

This trend encourages me to hope that there will be true "all-EU" packages soon, so I´ll wait just a little longer before re-optimizing everything from scratch.

I get the same result by calling +447404000231 directly or calling my Toggle number and waiting for 25 seconds until the call is diverted. Which one that is, depends on the network/operator from which I call. On some there is a message that you describe. On others about 2 seconds silence, then the call is simply ended without any announcement or explanation on the display. On other networks the phone stops ringing and starts ringing again after few seconds (no ringing here in the case of direct dialing the voicemail).

What is even more annoying is, that those that call me see the same behavior when my phone is busy. Instead of busy tone they either hear an announcement about the not assigned number or the call is simply ended without any explanation.

Strangely though this is not the case when the phone is out of coverage. Although the divert number is the same for that case, the announcement for the phone not being available is played and an SMS sent as soon as the phone registers to the network again.

In the case Toggle would blame other network operators for this behavior, it is easy to demonstrate that that is not the case. Calling the Toggle number from another Toggle SIM gives these results in my case:

- No answer: 25 seconds ringing, then 2 seconds silence, then the call is ended without any notification. Neither as sound nor on the display. Calling other operator's numbers mostly there is a SIT tone plus a "no answer" notification on the display.

- Busy: few seconds silence, then the call is ended without any notification. Neither as sound nor on the display. Calling other operator's numbers mostly there is a busy tone plus a "busy" notification on the display.

In these tests the call was from Toggle to Toggle. They control the complete path.
