I think myself and other people see the steps to enable this and think it appears substantially more complicated than just purchasing a SIM card and using it. But I may get motivated to investigate it more thoroughly before my trip.

I do think though to state OneSimCard is better than XXXX, is a bit disingenious. Now saying that you think OneSimCard when used with a VOIP provider (e.g. hotvoip . com ) and then something like callcentric can be the most cost effective solution you know sounds correct. When I was reading things originally I could not figure out why you thought OneSimCard was so good. Not until it became clear that the VOIP provider was needed did it become clear. And it does seem like a very cool solution to do this.

Thanks again!

Yes, absolutely. We all have our different use cases or preferences and all the options offered in this thread are valid.

Keep in mind that the callback system I was referring to can be used with any phone. If you want you can make a trial callback call here (one of the betamax clones - warning this one is cheap to some destinations and expensive to some others - but its a good trial as all of them are using the same platform):

(registration is free, you don't have to pay anything for the trial).

Yes, it seems I wasn't clear enough in the beginning. My bad.

Thanks for the nice comment!
