With Roamless voice service, you can make outgoing calls, but you'll need to provide another number for receiving incoming calls. I use my T-Mobile line. Alternately, you could ask the other party to just text you and you could then call them back via Roamless. A T-Mobile incoming voice call is billed at $0.25 a minute, but I seldom need to use this workaround. since I am mostly calling about flights, cabs, attractions hours, restaurant hours, etc. They are not calling me typically.

When you make an outgoing call with Roamless, what number do people see when they receive the call?

They see a number from the UK which has a +44 country code prefix.

I really appreciate this information about Roamless. While I dislike not having a number to use for texting, I might have to consider it.

Roamless does what it does very efficiently and at very reasonable pricing. You have to know that there is no perfect roaming solution for all travelers & circumstances.
