Yackie Max

I suspected it might be a dual SIM arrangement, and that comment may tend to confirm it's something like that. But the website really isn't clear enough.

Another company, perhaps even with the same supplier, recently launched a dual arrangement on a thin device like this, apparently to give visiting roamers cheap calls in their country.

In addition (I've recently discovered), the same company launched a product a bit over a year ago to enable a payment facility on another thin SIM-sized device . By coincidence, this was about the time Yackie started talking about such possibilities.

I might start a new thread about this when I've had time to look a bit more.

I think you'll find it's call through and not call back.

This means that the call is interrupted and prevented from going the route that the operator specifies, dials instead a local access number and places the international leg at Yackie's rates.

This would also be why their product only works in the N American dialing code area.
