</div>Assuming multiple mobiles (e.g. household or office), a typical setup<br>
around here (Switzerland) is that you can call freely within a group of<br>
numbers, often including one or two fixnet numbers.<br>

<br>
</div>Where is "here"?<br>

<br>
</div>Did you mean to say you don't pay for roaming either?? Wow. I could do<br>
with a subscription like that. (here roaming means using your phone in<br>
another country).<br>

<br>
</div>Using DISA also means getting a corp caller id, not a mobile.<br>

<br>
</div>How is that done from a mobile? Sofar that has been my main reason for<br>
using DISA - cost is not a real issue.<br>
