Could T-Mobile (U.S.) new global plan doom the global SIM card business?

Let me be clear, I am only suggesting Hushed as a solution for ten days or less and then only forwarded to a cheap number such as a US or Canadian number ( or UK landline).

I am going yo Costa Rica on holiday next month. Piranha is .06 a minute inbound and Telna is .07. My wife and I have ATT unlimited international data. Unless we decide to tether, a single Hushed Costa Rica number forwarded to my Asterisks box and an IVR handles are limited local calls.

If I wanted something longterm, this is not the way to go.

lists 17 meaning for the acronym IVR.
Here are the telecom related:

* IVR Integrated Voice Response
* IVR Intelligent Voice Response
* IVR Intelligent Voice Routing
* IVR Interactive Voice Recognition

I am going to assume your usage is Intelligent Voice Routing.

In VoIP terms IVR stands for Interactive Voice Response (voice menu with DTMF input).
