Help: President Of Company Needs Global Coverage

I'm no shill for Mobal--it's expensive and since I pay for my own calls I use Mobal strictly as a backup. But in this case it's pretty close to ideal because of its wide coverage, proven reliability, ease of both purchase and use, and businesslike billing. Except for the known troublespots around the world--like Korea, Japan and some of Central America, where standard GSM isn't in general use--it covers about everywhere.

Yes, it does use the O2 network and you'll get an O2 SIM card.

As others have said, if the UK number is an issue there are cheap forwarding services available so your boss could give out a US number that will automatically forward to the Mobal phone.

BTW, you have to look around the Mobal site some to find it but they do offer the SIM card only (i.e., without a phone) for only $10 shipping, which can't be beat if you have a good tri- or quad-band phone.
