You never actually give up the Liechtenstein number...calls to the 800 number are routed there but you can also be reched directly (not that you would probably want to given the price for calls to Liechtenstein) on the +423 number...it is even advantageous for the most part given the way European numbers operate to have European people call the US toll free number (they will probably pay less to call the US toll free number than to call a Liechtenstein number even from France and Italy).

As for Mobal, a couple of years ago I used them to buy a nokia phone from them which they were selling at the time...the phone arrived unlocked and I have never used them thereafter and I am sure many people did the same.

The only question is if the phone is unlocked...I hear they're pushing motorola quad bands now for the reasons we described earlier. It is easy, if a Nokia phone is locked, to unlock it. It is much more difficult to unlock a Motorola phone, it can be done but somebody will probably have to do it for you...nokia phones they have broken the unlocking calculator which is a free download on the net (Nokia, those rats, are working with mobile companies to render this calculator useless but it still works for older models' ;to me locking phons is immoral anyway but that's a whole different topic)...mobal I would never use for calls; their rates are obscene.
