Happy new Year all (ex) United-Mobile Customers,

Area code +423-663 seems to be blocked by many carriers now, e.g. for "security reasons" or an announcement tells you, that the subscriber is not available, but some phones show simultaneously "call not allowed" or similar messages on their displays.

UM SIM card is still registering with (minium) one local network, but this gives you nothing, as Short Messages (Texts) do not work incoming or outcoming and calls wouldn't go in or go out.

Official information is not available at this thime, but rumours tell me, that former proprietors/managers/players still playing sandbox games between each others.

Meanwhile the customers are gone, the business modell is gone, we've discussed this many times here and elsewhere.

Take the UM-SIM-Card and tape it to a picture frame on your living room wall and remember the better days of roaming sim-cards. As long as the SIM card registers to a network, there is a 1% chance they will come back one day, one year, or never.

UM had too many ideas and projects and forgot to care the existing customers and attract and serve new ones. Too many people wanted to increase money, without offering attractive goods or services behind it. We remember its called world economical crisis, am I right?


73 & 55 (Regards)
