How much does it cost to call the Global SIM card?
Since the Global SIM has a UK based (Isle of Mann) +4472 mobile number it will only cost 13.5p/min peak and 12.5p/min off peak to call the SIM from a BT landline. We recommend that you check the cost to call from your UK mobile network since some classify the Isle of Mann as an international call destination. from the 0044 site |

The card 0044 are selling is the same number range as gt-sim, mostly same technology including same voicemail scripts (one is prepaid, one postpaid, some differences in rates). Both cards have the numbers, and some customer support provided by Callkey (a Castletown, Isle of Man, company that is working with Manx Telecom on these). In the case of 0044, it's not even rebadged, it's a Callkeyone sim pack. The discussion isn't really about how much it calls to cost from a landline, rather whether it is possible to divert UK mobile to them at the same rate as diverting to a UK mobile, perhaps using inclusive minutes. In most cases, no. Voip: Localphone UK, Anveo US, Google Voice |

What matters for diverting an Orange phone to an 0044/callkeyone/gt-sim phone is the rate FROM the UK to the Isle of Man. Which seems to be impossible to find online. I do know that when I had Everyphone on an Orange contract phone a few years ago that would "divert to any 01 or 02 number in the UK" it would NOT divert to 01624 (IOM landline). In other words, at that time Orange (correctly) did not consider an IOM number to be part of the UK. Voip: Localphone UK, Anveo US, Google Voice |

(per minute)" box ? does that not answer your question. Also this is the old format of the website, which is still accessible for business users and gives both the information for roaming and for calling the country |

Looking further, it seems that the Isle of Man IS included in the "Republic of Ireland and Channel Islands" international group: http://www.orange.co.uk/business/small/ser...nalpricing.html (click on "145 countries" to define countries in groups). Costs 12p/min from UK. Not a lot, but is international. Of course, this could be wrong as well, who knows (or cares, at this stage...). Voip: Localphone UK, Anveo US, Google Voice |

On another note orange charge the same for landlines and mobiles, they have never had different prices, so if calling landlines is part of your minutes then i would assume that calling mobiles is also included |
