International sim are great but the one wich call you must pay an international call,
and i can cost a lot for him, especially from standard gsm or landline without plan.

So, does anyone here use a call forward ?
I use voipbuster to my french mobile, i have a local french landline number (they have other country also).
It cost 18~20 cents/min to call/forward a liechtenstein/UK mobile.

The number and service is free but you must top up (10?) at least once/120 days
However, you need to use their software to enable/disable/set call forward (not always possible from a cybercaf?)

I think it's a great way to be called for near free by the caller, instead of paying an expensive international call.

I can also be used if you use a classic prepaid card, just change the number fowarding to. You always keep the same number for your caller.
However caller ID don't work anymore (you see your landline phone #, if you see it).

I used skypein+skypeout but you need to wait 20 secs ring before call fowarding start. add at least 10 sec to call a mobile phone : most people hang up before you hang on

This is a know problem in skype forums since month, i hope the will change this (this is not a bug).

Does anyone have a cheaper/better solution to get this working ?
