Reading some of Mr Phelan's feedback on blogs, it appears that he is highlighting the caller vs receiver pays issue. As bbob says, with other SIMs, the choice of forwarding is one's ow and probably cheaper.

Having someone as technically savvy and well regarded as Mr Pogue completely fail to notice incoming charges of over a dollar a minute is something of a PR coup. Nobody else has managed to get roaming in the USA down to 15 cents. But it's simple: get a local SIM card and divert to it; why haven't Maxroam or their supplier done this?

I can accept the rates to Eu mobiles but those to satelite phones are surely not correct. Otherwise I will immediately buy the card!
