United Mobile+ (new service with +44 Jersey number) - Page 15

Did tryout my card and yes caller id did not work all the time.

I don't like it when the phone is off callers get an error message.

For now I will be using my old UM card and maybe in a few weeks when they have everything under control I will switch it off.

I have always seen UM as a serious company versus companies like Yackie or others that keep switching and promising things. I can only asume that UM will be able to get everything going.

I agree, these seem to be just start-up troubles, I think (and hope) they will be solved soon. At this time, caller id doesn't work with any of the italian networks Tim, Vodafone, Wind.

I think the battle of the islands have begun...

Iceland: 09 Mobile
Liechtenstein: United Mobile
Isle of Mann: GT-SIM (euro and aussie versions), Cherry Mobile, MeSIM, 0044...
Jersey: United Mobile+, CallBlue

The reason why i bring this issue up is UM+ won't allow/connect calls to +447624xxxxxx (which is most of the Isle of Mann SIMs) and most people won't connect calls to UM+'s +447937xxxxxx

Is that right - surely no service provider would block outgoing calls to a certain batch of numbers? It would make that sim card much less attractive to users! Or do you mean those numbers are treated as premium / high rate calls . . .

I don't know about Estonia's TravelSIM as calls are too pricey to find out

Going bach from OT - questions to Keighleyboy?

What do you mean by:
"The reason why i bring this issue up is UM+ won't allow/connect calls to +447624xxxxxx (which is most of the Isle of Mann SIMs) and most people won't connect calls to UM+'s +447937xxxxxx"?

Is it impossible to call from UM+ to IoM mobile? Who is "most people" who " won't connect calls to UM+'s +447937xxxxxx"?

Keighleyboy · 05-08-2007, 22:08

UM+ to IOM +447624xxxxxx always results in an error, never even gets to the call back stage to connect your call

Keighleyboy · 05-08-2007, 22:11

Prion and Przemolog thanks for correcting me on which countries are islands and which are not

Yeah...it's war out there obviously...

Actually I'm just wondering if UM+ was rushed to the market too soon without the proper testing and we are in effect the beta testers for them.

I guess they saw the handwriting on the wall for the +423 service as I noted earlier because of the escalating termination fees.....

But I wonder ultimately what will happen with these semi UK number (Isle of Man and Jersey)....will there be surcharges on ld carriers for calls to +44 7624 and to +44 7937?
