Yes. Those are all Motorolas.

Thanks for the model numbers to look into, Bossman, and the link. Are those models Motorola?

Yes. It's from CBW. Or you can get the regular toll-free# that will require a PIN#. There is not monthly charge for this one.

Do I understand correctly: if I had UM with CBW, I could get from CBW a toll-free # for U.S. callers for $1.50 a month? ie: It's from CBW, not from UM?
|
I know...that's the minor drawback. If we can call it that. But, the calls are a whole lot cheaper. And you get one # to use in several countries.

But, once I sign up for CBW, I'm tied to this double call-back system, where I have to call and wait twice? Sheesh!
|
Yes. If you call directly without going through CBW. In this case you only get one callback.

Does this mean calls TO the U.S.?
|
Yes. It does sound good. Quite a few of us here, especially those based in the US, have ordered this sim. Majority of us also have UM. But if yackie holds up to all that iot promised, it will be very competitive with UM. Just the fact that we get a US# is a big plus.

The Yackie system sounds really good.

I am not sure about the mobal phone compatiility. Whatever phone it is, you can probably get it for 50% or less of the price mobal is wanting for it somewhere else.

By the way, nobody has answered my question about using a "Mobal" phone with a UM card. Would this work?
|
Yes. You will just have to get a regular sim. You can buy one in each country or buy one and just roam on it in the other country.

Well, my last question would be this: Is there ANY system which would allow me to bypass all this ringing, hangups, waiting, calling-to-hang-up-again stuff? If so, what grand price would one pay for it?
