UM

It looks like the UM has eliminated the +423 sim cards from their offer online. With all these changes is becoming impossible to compare all providers.

Yes, it seems only +44 is available, and I agree it's too complicated to compare offers and to understand something...

To make it even more difficult you have providers offering a serive from the same provider/platform but having small print in their terms that state things like fair use without giving a clue waht that is, others force you a minimum volume per month, quater others have ration's of inbound outbound calls. Yet other don't update websites to reflect update prices.

To make it easy I would not use a provider who hides costs, minimums or ratio's in their terms. I prefer companies that a clear and don't hide anything for you. There are a few that don't and you could compare those more easily.

Hmmmm...that is interesting. Anybody heard why?

Wonder if everything is okay at UM? I have several outstanding support tickets with them and haven't heard from them in more than a week...now this makes me more curious. On top of that CBW has been unable to connect to my UM +44 number...network issues at UM?

this has to do with the carrier the CBW is using to terminate calls to +447937 numbers. try another provider and you will see.

Ouch- sorry to hear that since one of the reasons I bought the +44 Sim was because of CBW's problems with the +423 UM numbers. Ugggh...not again ;( I hoped that +44 numbers would be much less problematic.

Do you know of a callback service with reliable termination to +447937 numbers?

I do not know of such a service. The carriers I am using for direct dial do terminate calls to +447937. I suggest you send an email to CBW so that they can check it

I think the +423 SIM is there. I think they are just calling it their "data sim." If you click on the data sim, you can calculate prices for making calls from the data sim.
