Yes, you can forward calls to your 44/1-US-number and the 44/1 SIM will ring wherever you are, but as I mentioned above calls to the US number are billed with € 0.19/min while calls to the UK number are free in many countries. So 44/1 is only cheaper for you if a direct forwarding to the British mobile number is more expensive than € 0.19/min.
To make it visual:
US number (US provider) ===[forwarding A: $ ???/min]===> US number (UM 44/1) ===[forwarding B: € 0,19/min]===> your 44/1 SIM
US number (US provider) ===[forwarding C: $ ???/min]============================================> your 44/1 SIM by UK number
the costs of forwarding A+B must be cheaper than forwading C in order UM 44/1 to make sense for you.
