Seriously, when you say you prefer "pbxes using callback," are you referring to the callback feature of pbxes? If so, I don't believe that is available in the free version.
In any event, what I'm proposing does not preclude using United Mobile or any other card. I can set up pbxes so that one DID rings whatever cards and/or landlines I choose, a second DID allows me to change those target numbers remotely, and a third DID provides callthrough dialtone using any of several cheap outbound trunks (maybe there is a way to do this with fewer DIDs, but I haven't got that far yet). The only cost would be the outbound trunk, which is often free to landlines, plus the cellular connection which is often free inbound. But the system would work the same for both international and local cards.
I do agree with your point about buying and keeping track of lots of different cards. Any savings are likely to evaporate once the minutes expire.
