Thanks for your tips.

Pin solution is sometimes a bit cheaper but not that great, the goal is to be transparent for caller. I will not have to tell him to call another #, even if i change my sim card/country.
Also, i can forget callback with call fowarding

The callbackworld Business Toll-Free Number for 1$/month is a great solution, and 0.14$ to lichtenstein is cheap.
I don't need a toll-free # howerver, a classic # is same for me.
Can i have my own regular US phone # instead ? Without the 1$/month fee if possible.

Stu : you are right, i have "Free" ISP and i can call/forward to landline for free to many country.
I wanted to use another service because it cost 0.27? to lichtenstein from freebox (that's ok when you use it just a few times, and when you see competitor rates like France Telecom ones, but not if you want to be called for hours and hours).

I just tried to call the free-toll # +18004713237 from my freebox and before the call i hear "the toll free number you have dialed is not toll free. It called from outside the united states, you will be charge at international dial rates. If you do not want to be charge, please hang up now". :wacko:
I don't pay for this call (since january) but i always heard this when i call US toll-free from my freebox.
It would be strange for my caller to hear that message, and in english.
I don't have this problem with voipbuster

For kall8 it cost 2$/month for an Washington local number and $0.920/min to forward to lichtenstein !
I can also get a Paris local number for $50 + $28/month !
I can forget about kall8.. but their website design is nicer

I don't find call forward service at enlinea, but their rates are higher (exept kall anyway


So if i understand, to get the best rate i must do something like this :

Caller-->--Freebox(my usual landline) in Paris-->--VoipBuster french local# (their server are in netherlands but you don't have to know it)-->--Callbackworld own (toll-free?) number in USA-->--riiing Lichtenstein # (and then roaming)

I think i will stay with something like Voipbuster with a single call forward and tell people to call it.
I can still forward my regular cellphone and my landline to the voipbuster # also.

Otherwise the latency may be too high and quality too.
And i don't talk about the time to etablish a call.

PS stu, i can call for free these country : http://adsl.free.fr/tel/tarifs/tarifsTI.html
