I believe that Simyo can only be ordered by Belgian nationals/residents though, and maybe then transferred; that's what they told me anyway, then didn't answer the follow-up question.

I've got one of the IoM based SIMs, normal tariff 24 to 30c, and there are some cheaper ways to call to/from it - 15 to 17c per minute (or less for now)

Or set up callback to landlines in your accommodation - 4 or 6c per minute
For calling back to the US he'd need a calling card or the callback service. Or do you have the direct dial rates for those providers TO the US?
