Believe me, its confusing to Americans who haven't traveled abroad, either because they can't figure out how to do the + sign on their phone (hold down 0 til it changes) unless you have a smart phone where you have the option of the + sign.

Way better to keep it simple and get a US number that folks at the show can reach you at. If they are from US/Can its way cheaper and easier to communicate at the show. Like Sarah said, you can keep the phone until the next show then load up some credits when you need it next.
I actually meant more numbers out of the 0-9 range

When you lay it out like that we actually have 11 digit numbers excluding any area code or country code so I can see how all these extra numbers must be 'confusing' for Americans
