Actually, you can only forward maxroam to certain countries. I think they list 45 or so in the dropdown. Still a pretty good option since you can forward to mobiles too.
With the call quality and the okay call costs, this will likely be my primary roaming sim moving forward. The rest, yackie (if they come back from being dead!), UM+, will be backups. Quote:

Sorry for the exaggeration. I tested this out by forwarding the maxroam number to my UM sim, a card with country code 44 (Jersey), and the call quality was very good. Unfortunately, UM charged me about $3 for that test to receive the call in the U.S.

Not to deviate, but I thought I'd mention a few more positive and negative things about maxroam. They are probably already in the "maxroam review" thread.
- The caller ID that shows when you call someone is the DID. And not the Israeli number. This is a positive in my opinion. - All calls get charged. A min os 1 min is charged since you get charged as soon as you answer the callback -I cannot check my balance from the sim menu on the phone. And online, it takes at least a day for the call history to show up. Balance online is updated right away though. -The missed call sms no longer works for me.
