If I understood a word of that I might be able to formulate a reply.

I haven't used it myself, but have read about it on other forums, even
ferrying comments from one to another. It appears that quite a few
Americans use it for call forwarding to international SIM cards, as the
UK rate is fairly good.

However, it appears that nobody else here wants to actually discuss it,
but just shoot down any product they've never heard of in the six
months since it appeared. Why would a US company bother to spam a UK
group, but with an enquiry rather than describe the product and its
use?

The usb stick idea appears to be catching on, at Babble and Vonage ...
