They have resolved my issue and gave me a goodwill credit of £10 to compensate for my loss. So all in all ok now after a lot of headache. But the guy from 0044.co.uk Agnus is amazing I think once he called ekit (provider of the sim) that’s when the ball started rolling.

Just to share with you, here is how i found out how much it cost to call the Global Sim (Jersey Mobile)
Giffgaff Charges 16p per min
BT (Land-line) Charges 18p per min
O2 charges 35p per min
Virgin Charges 42p per min
T-Mobile 50p per min (Ex VAT 42p)
Three charges £1.04 per min

    The company do supply a geographical UK number you can call them on.

    See: http://www.0044.co.uk/contact-us.htm

    You cant be charged when using it properly as it operates a call back service.

    They tell you its a Jersey Number.

    They do warn you to check prices before calling the number.

    " How much does it cost to call the SIM?
    If you choose to provide contacts with the +44 79 Jersey mobile number when you travel, people in the UK can call you for the price of calling a Jersey mobile, no matter where you are in the world. UK landline providers charge from 10p/min and UK mobile providers charge from 20p/min to call Jersey numbers. Callers should verify this with their own network first to establish whether calls and texts are part of their plan or charged at national or international rates."

    Were you able to make outgoing calls from it?
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    Did you try making incoming calls to it from a land line?
