Well, calling a number in Estonia from Hungary is definitely far more expensive than calling a local, Hungarian mobile. Depending on our plan, it can easily be 15 times that expensive. This is a prohibitive factor for many. Should I hand out my UK or Estonia-based number here, sure nobody would call me. That is great on a holiday, but not that fantastic if I expect business calls.

Then it is either normal roaming or forwarding to my roaming SIM using a local DID. I am a geek and I can arrange for a local DID, but most people can not.
