But I think that is mainly an interconnect problem with them reaching the Liechtenstein number of Riiing SIMs, rather than applying to the whole operation.

When I had problems with Riiing/Enlinea in July for a couple of days, I rang Enlinea from my O2 phone and asked them to alter one of my 3 callback trigger numbers to the local SIM. It worked as soon as I hung up the other phone.

So I would suggest a French SIM with callback as the normal tariffs are high, but take note also that there are now unlimited inclusive bundles or favourite numbers (Orange), and other promotional ideas appearing - for example SFR have a maximum charge per daytime call, for a low monthly fee (but I haven't found out yet the notice period on this). Probably some on Bouygues as well.

For calling USA, I should think the Orange ?3 for an evening, and a calling card, could be of interest.
