However, MINO is still useful for people traveling overseas. 1. They can initial the call from their Blackberry using gprs roaming, however set the default (or add additional) 'call from' number instead of their US mobile number, set it to a local phone/mobile number. This will use MINO to initial the call, but pick it up locally so no roaming charge. The disadvantage is you must have a local phone near by (or hotel). 2. Normally in-coming roaming is cheaper than out-going international roaming charges. So using MINO, receiving a call while in a foreign country still saves money. May be not 70%, but some where around 25% approximately. So use MINO while in foreign country should save some but does not eliminate roaming altogether. You should try it on a Blackberry. Just go to our website (www.minowireless.com), click on 'Make Free Calls', enter your phone number, and we will push a trial version to your phone right away. Jing Paul,
