Local Rwandan DID for US company?

Howdy, folks, A consulting client is traveling to Rwanda for business, and I'd like to provide him with a local number he can call to reach me if need be. I don't see any Rwandan DIDs at Twilio or VOIP.ms. Any leads? This is a nice-to-have, not essential, so I'd like to see pricing similar to South African DIDs. Voice capabilities are my baseline requirement, with SMS as a nice bonus. I'd forward calls to my US PSTN number, but I can accept calls via SIP as well. thanks, Graham Freeman, Principal Nerd NerdVentures.com +1-510-898-6772 graham at nerdventures.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/grahamfreeman Twitter: @get_nerdy

This page from MTN, the Rwandan mobile phone company, says that calls to the US are 51 RwF/min, which is about 7c US, or you can get a pack for 1200 Rwf ($1.65) which gives you 50 mins to the US, good for one day. Local calls to Rwandan landline numbers are 46 RwF. They will sell you a basic phone for 9500 RwF ($13) or I presume you can get a SIM for your 900/1800 GSM phone. Doesn't seem much point to get a local number. http://www.mtn.co.rw/Content/Pages/361/International_calling_rates
