Hey gang-
Okay- United-Mobile rates to just check my United-Mobile Voicemail are about a dollar including setup charge. But- could I somehow use my Callbackworld account to do it from my United-Mobile cellphone? I know- it seems like there wouldn't be a way to call the voicemail on my cellphone while using my cellphone, but since I'd be using a callback service, maybe it would work? Tips anyone? Thanks! Dave |

Can't you just use CBW's PIN2DEST? It's the same $0.14/min. That's one of the few ways to call into UM that's still very reasonable. Even using CBW with your UM SIM from here (US) will cost you the rate to receive a call per min, because you have to answer the phone.

Yup...in the US pin2dest on CBW will indeed cost 14? (assuming you're not using your um phone) whether from a landline or a local mobile...
If you're in Europe, on the um phone, use cbw and dial the US pin2dest number, you will probably pay 28?/minute (14? for the call to the US and 14? for the call to the "busy" united mobile number which in theory should go into voicemail. |

Hey gang-
Just got back from my first trip to Europe (Italy) using my United Mobile SIM. I found I was able to call CallbackWorld, then dial my own UM phone number. The call would go straight to voicemail, where I could enter my PIN and check my voicemail- at 14/cents per minute. Cool! Thanks again! Dave |

Now- it might have been .20/minute, since that is the CBW rate for Liechtenstein to Liechtenstein. But either way, it's cheaper than checking my voicemail with UM. Dave |

Well the callback charge back to the US 800 number would be 14? /minute and then the charge from USA to Liechtenstein on 800 pin2dest would be 14?/minute, right?

Come to think of it, I didn't think of it that way but not using the pin2dest but calling the Liechtenstein number directly might be cheaper andyou might be right...when I did this, I hadn't checked out Liechtenstein to Liechtenstein but it makes sense that would be whatever the rate is...

Yep- it works great- I just used this method again while in Zurich. No PIN2DEST necessary. When you get your CBW callback, dial your own UM Liechtenstein number. When it goes to voicemail, dial #PIN# You will go straight to your voicemail menu, and judging by my CBW account, the rate is 20 cents/minute. I can check my voicemail for about 1/4 the cost of using UM, which is about 80 cents including setup charge. Dave |
