I ran into the exact same issue. I just got back (On Friday) from a trip where I spent most of the time in Lagos, Nigeria. CBW stopped working for me around Tuesday the 10th or so. As you said, if I do get the callback (I was trigerring via a second phone), their system does not recognize when I enter the numbers and hit #, it keeps prompting me to enter the number. Before that though, CBW + UM worked well. My globalsim was definitely a life saver in these situations. It's definitely a good idea to have more than one option.

Then I usually get no callback from CBW, or, on the rare occasion I do get a call, I can't get them to accept the number I insert, OR connect to the CBW operator as the prompts suggest. My daughter is now having trouble using the 800 number from the US, which was also working perfectly until ~ 3 days ago.
