I know global sim were moving away from UM a few months ago ... as were all distributors, they cannot survive with the new UM strategy. It seems the Callkey product is the best bet at the moment as a general Global sim ... so many of the old UM distributors have moved in that direction, with a couple taking a risk with the unreliable 09 (but improving).

Call key have free incoming calls, but as we all know there is no such thing as free incoming calls ... it costs the providers, but the hide that to make the service attractive. Nothing beats FREE INCOMING CALLS. To offset the cost, they make the outgoing calls more expensive. So Call Key distributors try to offset their incoming costs by having a small monthly bill, thus making it possible to have cheaper outgoing calls. I know that Callkey use two systems for triggering a call ... which makes them more reliable on that front. (some countries stop triggering from occuring in the normal way .. thus blocking callback)
