I would presume that most people would be delighted to pay a fraction of what their home provider charges for roaming, but the numbers don't seem to match my theory.
The folks who hang out on this forum (myself included) pinch every penny they can, but what is your opinion about friends and colleagues.

Hi Stu,
Friends and colleagues rather have cheap outbound calls back home, and cheap local calls to the destination. Incoming is important also, but our case, calls are placed more frequently than received. The SCC sucks, but if it means cheaper calls, I can live with. More and more I found myself, like my colleagues leaning on using local SIMs, and once at destination, give the new CTN to whom we wish to reach us. often it's cheaper this way.
