It sounds like this may not be a good idea for him
If you choose a fully compatible phone, it's not any problem. In such case the only difference with "normal" dialling is that the outgoing connection is broken, and a few seconds later you just answer an incoming call and wait for establishing the connection. Special menus and/or codes are required only in case of partial phone compatibility. Unfortunately, without callback there would be no competitive prices on outgoing calls (or even making outgoing calls with prepaid-type payment mode would be impossible). Believe me that providers of international SIMs did a really good job in making SIMs easy to use as much as possible.
