One SIM. Multiple Numbers. Multiple Countries.

One SIM. Multiple Numbers. Multiple Countries.
From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, users of MaxROAM SIMs can assign as many as 50 separate phone numbers to their MaxRoam SIM from as many as 28 countries simultaneously (MaxRoam on the whole can offer you numbers from 160 different countries, but only 28 of them simultaneously).

Through the Buy another number menu item on the left hand side of the screen, MaxRoam users are offered the opportunity to buy a new number from any one of the supported countries for an average cost of 2 euros per number per month.

If, for example, you buy a number for France, it will greatly reduce the inbound roaming charges to you when people from France call that number (while saving them the cost associated with making international calls).

For David Berlind's write-up on MaxRoam, see his post in ZDNet's TestBed blog.
