new UM card with +1/+44 dual number soon

[Bossman]

I made a call from the island of Barbados to the US last march, and yackie billed me as calling from Cameroon, West Africa. The good thing is that I made about 4 calls in total all on the same date. The other calls all showed as calling from Barbados. When I called yackie that it would have been impossible for me to be in Cameroon and Barbados within a few hours. They did refund me and agreed that something was wrong with their billing.

Talking about dual sim phones, I do have one zoho V90 that I bought on dealExtreme for about $90 solely for that reason. Currently have my maxroam and UM+ sims in it.

Hopefully they will have accurate billing for this; my +44 UM+ calls from the UK to US were mischarged as more expensive Russia to US calls in late 2007 and I had to contact customer service to have them credit the difference (it was interesting trying to convince them that I was across the street from Kensington Palace rather than the Kremlin). Right now I will depend on 2 US MVNO cards for calls placed in the US. For outside US would use Digicel in non-US Caribbean. For outside the US or Caribbean would use MaxRoam or in some instances UM+, Iridium or Skype. Less complicated than it sounds since I only travel outside the US a few times a year, and not many people need to be provided with the mobile number(s) where I can be reached.
Another possibility is to get a dual or tri sim multiband phone (thinking more of the GSM only phones rather than the GSM/CDMA hybrids) which have been dropping quite a bit in price lately. These are mostly made in China but are exported through various sales channels; some have interesting add-on features like FM radios/TV's/MP3 players).
