I just got the Global Hop Card - great website and speedy delivery.

An auto-direct / forwarding of your calls costs US$2 to set up. That would be useful for example when you travel and get a local sim card (e.g. because you are going to be doing a lot of calling in one location/country). You then simply redirect all your calls to the new number without having to update your contacts

But do you still pay for incoming calls? I rang them and they say that you then do not pay for incoming calls on your redirected number. That seems counterintuitive - if someone calls you on your Monaco mobile phone and the call then gets diverted to, say, Antarctica, then who pays for the extra leg of the call?

Does anyone know if diverted, incoming calls are free? (of course, as long as you don't pay for incoming calls with your local mobile phone company).
