Dean, Appreciate the feedback on the Oz situation.
To be honest maintaining accurate reach list descriptions is pretty hard, although we're trying to do the best job. Essentially most of the input to the termination list comes from our Tier 1 interconnects where we get a full dump of their supported endpoints. Unfortunately those are often difficult to interpret as the paired network name is often not reflective of the brand under which that operator is known in the market: the example of "3" being "Hutchison Whampoa Telecom 3G Services" for instance, but not by far the most cryptic example across our footprint. The example you gave of "One.Tel" is actually still coming through from the upstream network. This might be though because the MSISDN range of One.Tel has been preserved, although now moved under the administration of another (still live) Oz network operator. We therefore do our best to interpret the data we get and present that as accurately as possible. Clearly we don't have folk sitting out in all 165 countries on our supported termination list so we do the best value-add research we can, but then of course its incredibly helpful for us to hear from real users (like yourself) based in those locations and reflect that input into the reach-list. Regarding 3 and Virgin. '3' we had some problems with during the Beta - I'm not sure about the situation with Virgin. What I would say is please feel free to sign-up, and use the free credits to test these networks, and we would really appreciate the feedback, good or bad, on or off list (!) to help us perfect this thing. Cheers...
