One thing I found in Indonesia is that if you have a postpaid roaming SIM and select Excelcomm (XL) they will assign you a temporary local number and send you a SMS informing you about that number. You can then receive calls on that number as long as you are roaming on XL. This did not work with any prepaid SIMs. Of course, if you can get to the Internet you can set your callback service to that temporary number.

I tested the Celtrek SIM in Indonesia. It worked but I forgot on which networks.
