OK, I can understand your point to some extents. AFASIR, I called abroad for the first time when I was about 30 (a few years after I sent a first e-mail abroad ) - because I didn't need it to do it before (and because it was very expensive due to the monopoly of Polish Telecom).

It's their problem :P , Personally even when I didn't need to call abroad, I perfectly knew how to perform this "complicated" task.

I agree with you that the idea of Yackie numbering is potentially very attractive (to some extent also for European users, too since they offer also European landline numbers). However, Yackie Israeli number can't be used for voice calls - no choice for CPP. I think that solution offered by RangeRoamer i.e. both "native" international SIM number (Estonian one - it's Travelsim) and a US number with forwarding (toll free in this case) is something satifying both CPP and CSP users...
