So, do you agree?

Sure, I do!

How the billing system recognizes the card without the PIN?

Do you mean DID based callback?

What exactly? You can use CBW with a mobile phone...

This is what I wanted to say about international sims being not so competetive to compare with the "regular" roaming:

My wife had problems with remebering about peak hours and on-net/off-net (when and what numbers to call to mobile phones from a landline/a mobile). Happily the mobile rates have changed and now the rule is simple: mobile to mobile, landline to landline. Happily she doesn't need to call abroad but if she had, she has relatively low rates from her mobile...
Hmmm, wives and women in general :whistle: Their preference to convience over costs sometimes horrifies me... Oh, something politically incorrect is in the air

Do you want to program in the Riiing SIM, or the phone's memory a "single dial" entry like +1234YourCBWDID#something#+1567YourDestinationNumb er?
I'm afraid it's simply impossible with callback
