New service on Orange?

[petkow]

Sorry for posting this here, (I do not see a reason why I would have to start a new thread just yet), but a new user over on telecomforum seems to have posted a new(?) number for calling Pakistan (and elsewhere) from inclusive minutes on Orange. Does anybody know what it is, and if it is even inclusive? It maybe something old or some other spam (which would hardly surprise me there).
The number is 0758 900 1213 and the thread is http://www.telecomforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=3967.msg21294#msg21294

It comes up as Yim Siam Telecom Ltd. Does anybody know anything about them?

I have already looked into this earlier this morning.

It is a WiFi number on the Yim Siam Telecom network as you posted.

I have come across them before in connection with WiFi numbers that used to be used as callthroughs on both O2 and Orange.  Most of them got blocked however.

I do not yet know whether it is inclusive on Orange or not.

Yes I had to add further information to my reply above when I saw you mentioned Yim Siam.

Thanks.

Now looked into it a bit more, and it looks like its a service that the company themselves run. The last 5 digits seem to be agent specific. The company claims calls to 075890xxxxx are inclusive for Orange Contract Mobiles. The full list of destinations can be found here: http://www.yimsiam.biz/destinations

They claim to have several normally expensive destinations such as mobiles in Europe. (e.g. Spain Mobile)

They also run another clever service called SawasdeeFone which allows you to map one of their UK 07 WiFI numbers to a Thai mobile. I saw this on their site:

You can now get your own UK Mobile number from Yim Siam Telecom 'free of charge' which makes it look like you have a UK mobile phone. SawasdeeFone - MobileDial will enable your friends, colleagues and business associates in UK to call you in Thailand without having to make an international call. It's very simple - we allocate you one of our UK mobile numbers which is programmed to forward calls to your Thai number (mobile or landline). When somone calls your UK mobile number, the call will automatically be transferred to your Thai number in a matter of seconds. This will save UK callers incurring exoribtant costs for making international calls to you - and it is a completely free service - provided by SawasdeeFone - a brand style of Yim Siam Telecom which is based in UK and Thailand. UK callers only pay the normal cost for making a UK to UK mobile call.

As this discussion is now going a bit OT, perhaps these posts should now be split as a new thread for Yim Siam? If so, just delete this post after.

btw. MH... there is an interesting symmetry in our post count right now 202 and 2002!

I will think about moving it later this afternoon.

Both Graham and myself conducted tests on this new service yesterday, and we were pleased to find that this is another way to connect to the Irish 700 service.
