What I have written implies that the route they used was no longer viable (this does not have to do with um but with mobilkom probably). These brands have been offering the destination for more than a year whithout stop

I have realized that cheap callthroughs (below 10p/min) in the UK do no longer offer calls to +4236 mobiles.....

Even when they did have calls for 10p, they weren't reliable.

Several providers told me there is a large gap in price between the cheapest and next cheapest wholesale carriers, but also a large difference in quality. This was true 4 years ago, and still seemed to be the case more recently if trying via a 10p (from landlines) 0871 number. But with time most providers either shifted to tariffs in the range 15 to 30p, or stopped providing the destination if their particular method wouldn't cover rates that high.

I don't think any of that implies clues to what is happening at the other end now.

The strange thing is that recently uk callthroughs (associated with betamax/finarea) advertised rates to +423 mobiles at 5p/min. I tried them and none connected. In fact the automated voice said that the destination was not reachable (or something similar).
I wonder why they advertise these rates then...

Hello. Right now my account shows: my +44 and +423 status: Active and correct balance. So, maybe they're not dead. Let us see.

Now that is interesting! My balances yesterday were all zero, but my +44 is now correct again.

Perhaps "I'm not dead yet?"

Well, it's already something positive. Also I see the balance and the status of the sim "Active"

Hello! Not very nice development. I had (now cancelled) autorecharge on my +44 and +423 UM numbers: i just received n. 6 10 euro each not requested recharge through Paypal!
I immediately requested refund to UM customer service email. If nothing happens, i think this will be a matter for swiss police (

[humaximizer]

the same here:

united mobile took 4 x 25,- Euros from my paypal account till I stopped autorecharge.

I informed paypal and told them to freeze the transactions.


Let´s see how long it lasts to get the money back .....
