Advantage of int'l SIMs versus other solutions?

Actually, you can only forward maxroam to certain countries. I think they list 45 or so in the dropdown. Still a pretty good option since you can forward to mobiles too.

With the call quality and the okay call costs, this will likely be my primary roaming sim moving forward. The rest, yackie (if they come back from being dead!), UM+, will be backups.

None of this requires that you actually use the MAXRoam chip. That's why I was asking about recommendations for local prepaid SIMs.
