And calls to Skype users are also free (other than any carrier charges to a Mobivox access point).

What I want is a SIM card for that I pay airtime charges on any GSM netwroks. Both inbound and outbound calls are through VIOP VSP's of my own choosing. Routing is SIP based; but the channel to the handset would be via circuit switched GSM. That way it works on any netwrok with any cheap phone. I do the SIP reistrations from a website; it allows me to set up dial plans. I can set any DID to rinf the phone by pointing to a SIP URL. Since I envision this as a discount product a fair airtime charge would be typical call rate to the destination roaming in on a discount VSP for both inbound and outbound(plus I would pay to terminate outbound direct to the SIP VSP of my choice. The same product could also be market as an enterprise solution that allows a GSM phone to become an extension on a corporate PBX. What I am looking for does not exist and may never.

Except that there is no provision to change your mobile phone's number, instead you call a local number powered by an IVR. Bulk rates on per min charges are just under 1c in North America offered by the likes of Level3 Global Crossing etc.. So mobivox makes about 0.9c per min of call or maybe even less if you add Admin, operations, infrastructure and other charges. I see mobivox as net2phone for mobile phones.

Which I guarantee they will eventually. Then you are on the hook for airtime, but if it is local then it should still be much cheaper than Rogers LD rates.
