It is $2.00 a month and .6 cents a minute to call anywhere in Europe. What a huge profit for onesim. I have the number on my business card. So anyone can call me if they need to get a hold of me. All I have to do is go online an redirect the number to the sim I am using. Very simple and efficient. There are many companies that do this, and they have toll free numbers in many countries. I am through with International sims. They are to expensive,and the local sims in the EU are cheap now for roaming.
I tend to agree. I have used VoiceStick.com, in the past, to do this from the U.S. to a pre-paid SIM.
Now, I often manage to make use of T-Mobile U.S. ability to make free calls back to U.S. if you have a wifi connection. That, and the ability to get/send email on my BB for 67 cents/day often means I don't need a pre-paid.
As many have discovered, many LD carriers refused to carry calls to high priced numbers like +372 mobile and formerly to United Mobile in Lichtenstein. I wouldn't dare have business contacts or friends spend lots of $ to call me. I always make sure they can get me by using my regular number - which then gets forwarded.
Once Google Voice initiates forwarding to intl. numbers - it will make things easy. GV has all kinds of advanced features. Numbers are free. You can use them to dial overseas, now, just not fwd.

Make use of T-M's UMA/wifi free calling from any place in the world with access to wifi. I use an LG G6, wife an S7)
A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries.

My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
