    Mm, that's a very good point. Just checked their FAQ at http://www.united-mobile.com
    and from what it says below, it seems to be standard UK mobile
    number. So still looking for the gotcha! On the face of it, this
    does seem far better than the old Riiing number, as I always found
    people to be understandably reluctant to call me on an international
    number:

    Q: How much does it cost for people to call me on my United Mobile
    number?
    A: The costs for calls to your United Mobile number depend on the
    provider of the caller. For acccurate information contact the provider
    and ask for the rates to call a mobile number from Jersey/Great
    Britian

    Thanks
