International Roaming

I'm shortly starting work in Holland and am looking for the cheapest
way of making calls to the UK on my mobile and not incur inbound call
charges. The work is likely to involve trips to other non-european
countries.

I've looked at Geosim at www.globalsimcard.co.uk which offers an
international sim with a UK number for about 40 quid. However a big
minus point for me is that all calls, inbound and outbound, display as
"number withheld" on the receiving handset. This is not acceptable as
I generally need to know who's calling before I actually answer the
phone. Likewise I prefer not to withhold my number when making calls.

Any other options?

Cheers.

Rik

Some dutch mobile networks used to have freephone,
which could be used with calling cards.
You will need to find a dutchman with up to date local knowledge
