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
