I've been playing with this FWD -> pbxes -> Voipcheap combination over that last few days, and it occurs to me that it may provide a good solution for outbound calling as well as inbound calling. Is there any reason why you couldn't purchase a local sims card, and then call the SIP Broker access number for that country, enter the SIP code for FWD, and get a dial tone from Voipcheap using pbxes's Callthru feature? It's a lot of numbers to key in I know (although speed dial helps), but you could actually call the U.S. and about 35 other countries for the cost of a local cellular call. AND, your friends could call you with a local number as well -- either your DID number or a SIP broker number. I've tried it with a couple of SIP broker numbers, and it seems to work fine.

Is there enough difference in the rates and costs of local sim cards versus international sim cards that it makes sense to do something like this?
