Somehow OT. Sometimes I think that our US friends are a little bit "crazy" (no offence, just my impession
) about forwarding incoming calls from home-country numbers to foreign SIMs. I realise that sometimes such a solution is justified and necessary, but my general opinion about the "problem" is the following: if I'm abroad, my compatriots should call me at a foreign number
. In fact, besides possible costs for for the calling party, what is the problem to say "when I'm in Germany, call my mobile phone # +49...(or +423, +354, +447624, +372)" or "when I'm in Germany, call my hotel +49... room #1313" (as it used to be
obvious in pre-mobile times)???
