Mine is still dead, while it was ok at the beginning. Only 089 works, nothing else.

Mine has worked from day one and hasn't died.

So you can make and receive calls? Hmm ... lucky you ... mine was called inactive again the day after activation, while online it is still marked active.

There was some problems with some activations. Mine was the same...worked the first day and the following morning it kept saying (like others posted) the card was inactive when I try to make a call and incoming calls were not coming through. Anyway, a quick call to UM customer service fixed that. They had to access the system and reactivate mine. So, if your is still not working, you may want to call them.

Since today UM+ works in France.

I tried to use my UM+ on my SE Z610i and it works perfectly... so it seems the problem was the SE K600i... really weird! Tomorrow I try it on the Nokia E65, but these incompatibilities seem to be really strange...

I really start liking UM+. Not only that voipcheap.com charges calls to UM+ at only € 0.08 per minute, but they also deliver SMS to UM+ at the ridiculous price of € 0.01.

Keep on fighting the roaming mafia!

I'm in Brasil and I can't use the new sim...I don't receive the callback...

Update: with Nokia e65 the phone crashes and resets (like with the e61 someone told before) trying to make any call.
With SE Z610 all works quite well (too many pop-ups on the screen, but it works), while with SE K600i only 1 outgoing call works, then nothing else, incoming calls don't work.

Really BIG compatibility issues...

Thanks for the tip. I was actually waiting for them to resolve the problems for all affected, but finally I've sent them a quick mail last night, and now it works again.

Generally, I've had positive experiences with SE phones regarding call-back functionality. The SEs T68i, T610, K700i and V/Z800i all work automatically with call-back. The Motorola W220 also works well.

I was using justvoip.com and their forwarding option for only 6 cents per minute. But since 3 weeks the quality of the forward is just to bad, to much noise, you just can't use it. I have voicetrading now also at 10 cent per minute which works fine.

Does anyone else have problems with forwarding a call using justvoip to um+
