not sure if and when betamax will reblock these 372 numbers as many times since the last 5years.
Because bear in mind that termination net rate to travelsim 372 numbers is 0.15eur per minute...excl.vat

For my trip to Europe I ended up getting a Toggle Mobile card, which seemed like the best deal for this trip. It has free incoming calls in 20 countries and in 16 additional countries there is a 19 pence connection charge but free per minute on incoming calls. The default UK number +45 74385-XXXXX is expensive to call. But I got a Denmark based # +45-7156-XXXX (free for 30 days or get it for a year for 5 pounds) . Localphone.com will forward to the Denmark # at a cost of 2.9 cents/minute. Localphone.com charged $3.00 to setup a USA incoming # and then $0.99 per month to maintain it.

My trip takes me through or in to these countries (Toggle Mobile "local number" countries are in bold):
Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Switzerland, France, and Spain.

Toggle Mobile: Free incoming calls in over 20 countries link

Toggle Mobile free incoming countries (countries I will be traveling in or through in bold):
Australia Austria Belgium Cyprus Denmark France Germany Greece Hong Kong India Ireland Italy Netherlands Norway Poland Portugal Singapore Spain Sweden Switzerland United Kingdom United States

Toggle Mobile free incoming calls with a 19 pence connection charge countries (countries I will be traveling in or through in bold):
Cambodia Czech Republic Dominican Republic Hungary Indonesia Kenya Latvia Lithuania Malaysia Mexico New Zealand Nigeria Romania Slovenia Thailand Vietnam

Toggle Mobile "local number" countries (countries I will be traveling in or through in bold):
Australia Denmark France Germany Ireland Netherlands Norway Poland Spain Sweden Switzerland United Kingdom

Rates for the "local number" countries to calls to any of the 20 free incoming countries seem to be:
Landline: 3p/min, Mobile: 9p/min, SMS: 9p/sms, Data: 15p/mb. Incoming calls and texts are free.
Toggle Mobile Tariffs & coverage link

I also have a Truphone SIM and a Piranha Mobile SIM in a cheap $28 Dual SIM Quad Band phone (Samsung GT-E1182L) that I will also carry with me. And additionally I have a Hotvoip.com account if I need it. And of course Skype

And I'm leaving open the option of buying a local SIM for extra data coverage. I am traveling with a total of three phones (two Android phones and one dual SIM voice/text only phone). Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Toggle Mobile SIM), Samsung GT-E1182L (Truphone and Piranha SIMs), and a LG Nexus 4 (local country SIM if desired). Seems like overkill when looking at it

Not if your third or fourth option is what works when you need it.

Sorry. but I lost you there. Why Latvia? I don't think there is anything special about calls to Latvia.

Well, Camel Mobile also is a good worldwide roaming sim, and hotvoip calls to Latvia cost 2 cents per minute.

Yes, of course! But the SIM card has an Estonian number.

On 1July 2014 when roaming within EU will cost as national EU rates all +44 +1 +371 +372 roaming simcards will loose a significant market portion. They will only fit for non EU residents or when roaming outside EU

Just wandering one last thing. Anveo states tow different things about the orginiation sms number:

- NOTE: Outgoing SMS are not originating from Anveo phone numbers!
- from [optional] is a phone number which will be displayed as the sender of the SMS message.

Which is true? As I would like to transfer incoming sms 1-on-1, without any edits.

The from variable let's you set the number you want the recipient of the SMS to see.

If you are sending a new SMS, always set the from field, otherwise it won't show your number as they are using 3rd party providers instead of sending it out directly via your number.

If you are forwarding, you will be using the from variable anyway to pass on the incoming number.
