I think I answered the question about call forwarding in another thread but here goes again...

My landline company, verizon, allows callforwarding but even more importantly remote call forwarding for $6/month...remote call forwarding means you can set the call forwarding from any other remote phone. At home, when I travel in the US, I always call forward from my landline to my mobile phone (T mobile USA)...charge of course is a local call as both my landline and my t mobile phone have nyc area codes.

Although it is only recently, verizon allows me to remote call forward to world wide (011) numbers...the charges are those of my ld carrier. AT&T ld has a $1/month plan which drastically slashes international rates...in this case calls to Liechtenstein mobiles as of this writing are $0.11/minute so if I am in, say Poland, and I have call forwarding set to my united mobile number, the caller pays for a call to nyc and then it is seamlessly and I mean seamlessly forwarded to the united mobile sim and I pay the 11?/minute which one would have to admit is pretty cheap. Calls to Liechtenstein mobiles on this plan are by far the cheapest of any other country; calls to UK mobiles are about 40?/minute as to France, Germany, Holland.
And another good thing about this is that AT&T connections are quick, reliable and clear as a bell.

Until 2 years ago, T Mobile USA used to allow call forwarding to foreign number but for some reason, which they have never given me, they stopped that.

As an alternative you can use an 800 service such as kall8 but their connections and prices to Liechtenstein are high and unreliable.

Of course, one has to hold one's breath as we have seen what has happened to rates to Liechtenstein mobiles with lots of other carriers.
