Well I set up a MyGlobalTalk account to forward a local number to my GSM
phone that I take overseas. I can either use my global SIM from MaxRoam
to make and receive calls in Taiwan, or I can buy a prepaid SIM card in
Taiwan and just change the forwarding number to whatever the prepaid SIM
card number is.

I notice that caller ID doesn't work like it does on Voicestick.

The number I got for MyGlobalTalk has only the last digit different than
my Voicestick number. Guess they're not selling too many numbers in the
city I used.
