Another new roaming option

I'm planning to do a full article on roaming soon. However there are some interest developments in the market

The latest one is http://www.uk2abroad.com/

This works on the familiar 'buy a local sim' system, but with a twist, here it will allow your UK landline number to autoforward both calls made and received, so that it will be just like using your current landline number.

Again, I've not done my full research into this yet, so there's no judgement or recommendation here, i just wanted forum users to get to have a gander.

    Another thread here in the Referral Board. As the OP declared an interest in the company promoting this I have shifted it to the Referral Board.

    The incoming calls are little cheaper than int'l option roaming the UK SIM.

    Outgoing calls with the foreign SIM if made with their callback system are about 3 or more times the price of other callback operators.

    For example someone enquired about Greece on the pinned thread about roaming. uk2abroad would charge 50p/min for a call to UK, another operator 11p/min, both using callback and Greek SIM
