...I re-read the translation...it says something to the effect subscribers will be available simultaneously at the +1 and +44 number...now let's see...my landline provider, Verizon, is one of the few in the USA that allows remote call forwwarding to international numbers...so if I'm on a trip say to Poland, I can use the call forwarding to the +44 sim card (I would probably use other than UM+ because of the 0,19€ fee (parenthetically I can across e-kit passport on ebay selling sim cards for US$20 with US$10 credit...a bit expensive to call out at $0.49 but free incoming throughout Europe including Belgium with, well as of now, no incoming fee)...but, now here might be an advantage. Normally I forward, while in the US, incoming calls to my mobile (which has a local number)...now about 5 or so years ago, T Mobile USA began disallowing call forwarding to international numbers (as well as raising the price without their international plan which is a recent development)....follow me on this...the question is can I now forward calls to the USA +1 number and have it ring to the +44 number while in Europe??? That would be a bit cheaper than forwarding to a UK number via my call forwarding (currently 27¢ US especially if the euro continues its slide down?).....and of course for those without remote call forwarding on their US landlines, well now it would be available.....interesting.
