I enjoy this (and other forums) to learn and share ideas.
Thanks for reminding me that a lot of countries impose HIGH taxes on incoming intl. phone calls. I forgot that.
I had assumed that since virtually every LD carrier charges at least 20 cents to call most overseas mobiles (the UK is a few cents more than most of Europe) that the carrier handling the incoming call imposed the charge. These same carries charge 3-5 cents to call a landline - so this is a reasonable assumption. The fact LD carriers world wide all charge very HIGH fees to call +372 and +423 numbers would indicate that it is the carriers on the receiving end collecting the money.
What does it cost you, from a landline, to call a mobile in France or Germany?
My main point was that IOM termination is slightly higher than main UK numbers. Whatever amount that may be - wouldn't it be fair for the IOM carrier to share some of that money w. the resellers of their service?

Make use of T-M's UMA/wifi free calling from any place in the world with access to wifi. I use an LG G6, wife an S7)
A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries.
My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
