Well, the phone still rings, in fact has never been unavailable, and the last call just appeared on the record, so it isn't dead yet

Very true andy. come to think of it, incoming on the outrageously expensive +423 number is the only thing still working. It may as well be dead and buried!

United Mobile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

United Mobile ceased trading on 17th April 2009 and their assets have been frozen awaiting liquidation.

Wiki can be updated by anyone though right? I too believe UM may be gone, but I certainly will not believe what is posted on wiki 100%. Unless may be the information is usually verified before the update is allowed.

Or at least there will be a footnote citation at the bottom. But no source I can find.

Sadly, it's probably true, but strange that still nothing official.

Who on earth should make an "official" statement for a dead company? The liquidator, problably.

We have seen more than sufficient and clear indications of a bankruptcy in recent weeks, it has been a typical bankruptcy pattern.

Telekom.at is responsible for the operation of the +423 cards, not UM, so their half-dead status only indicates that Telekom.at is not dead. It is upt to them what to do with the SIMs.

This horse is dead, so get off!

Today, I was able to log in and see a balance of $0.00, But also see a phone call I received this morning showing a $3.60 debit.

This is strange indeed.

Financial press and telecom industry media would normally pick up on this sort of thing quite quickly...and Google shortly thereafter. So the silence is strange.

Yikes! That's it- no more crabby pills for anyone in this forum! All sims are cancelled until morale improves!

In regard to calls to +423 mobiles, I would like to mention that 3 German Callthrough services (associated with betamax) that allowed calls to +42366, stopped allowing this destination the last month. They do no longer offer calls to UM +4236.

That isn't necessarily conclusive

Not all Finarea or Betamax brands have offered this destination, and while some may have removed it from their list, others can still reach the numbers today.
