Best Phone & Service Combo For My Needs?

[KarenM]

OK. Sorry if I'm being dense here, but I need to clarify and see if I understand:

I get a phone--(With a little luck, Matha, Mike's tried & true V330).

I sign up for a UM account with the Lichtenstein #.

I then sign up w/CBW for an 800 number. (in my case, I'd pay the $1.50 for no pin.)

At that point, my phone number changes from whatever UM gave me (Lichtenstein #) to a U.S. 800 number. Correct? And, anyone calling me from within Europe would also use the 800 #?

I master the callback procedures as described above.

When I call to Italy# from within Italy, or to France# within France, I have to use the country code without the first zero, as if I were making the call from the U.S.?

HOWEVER, do I understand that IF the Yackie system is working correctly, it would replace BOTH the UM and CBW, while also providing a U.S. based, permanent, phone number?

Thanks again for your patience.
