Why Is The Roaming Free? - Page 2

OK, I have searched for this answer, can't find it (easily), so here goes the noob stupid question.

Effendi, or others, WHY is the roaming free in many of the countries, using these "Global SIM" resellers?

What is the "trick" involved?

For example, if I look at the Manx Telecom mobile site, they chrge (albeit pretty cheap) for roaming in the countries these resellers are allowing for free.

OK, I understand the cheap "calling out" system using the callback, but, what do they do to provide the free incoming?

And why is this "trick" limited only in IOM, Lichtenstein, and Estonia?
