Well let's see the usage complications...I have programmed my cbw trigger number into one touch dialing (#5 in my case) so let's see..I press down 5...hm...about 10 seconds later the first call back comes so I press the end call button...hm 10 seconds later the callback from cbw comes so I press the green answer button...a total of 3 buttons and then enter the number and BTW I don't even have to press +...hardly overwhelmingly inconvenient.

Matha, all what you described is not out of capabilities of most human beings, but direct dialing of a destination number (or "extracting" it from the phone memory) is still simplier and faster
. When I told about "usage complications", I was also inspired by this statement from the Blauworld thread (by Bossman):

See, a lot of people in the US have never (and probably will never have a needd to) dial an international number. So, they tend to get confused and not dial it correctly when they have to dial an international number.

If there are people who don't know (and, I suppose, in some cases possibly don't even want to learn) how to dial foreign numbers directly, how can they consider callbacks or calling cards convienent
? I realise that I exaggerate a little, but I believe that many people are just lazy, even if it costs them a lot
