Yes, pretty up to date - it's updated pretty quickly after a new country comes on line.

Best thing would be to divert it, before you leave, to a number in the Seychelles, such as the hotel's reception number or something like that.

But yeah... if I was spending a month in the Seychelles, lack of ability to receive calls on my mobile wouldn't be a high priority. :-)

VF has this on their roaming list, how about diverting your 2D number to a vodafone one and take that over? (assuming you still want to pay roaming charges for inbound calls)
