o9 is based in Iceland....since o9 has not generated the large number of subscribers that UM has, there have been evidently no outcry by telcoms about using callbackworld and elinea with it. Currently enlinea charges 11¢/minute for the same service cbw charged 14¢/minute before its 108% increase effective today for calls to Liechtenstein mobiles.
Having said that, I have used o9 quite a bit for outgoing but still preferred UM for incoming as my ld company in the USA, AT&T on its $1/month foreign plan only charges 11¢/minute for calls to Liechtenstein mobiles and my landline carrier does allow remote call forwarding to be set to foreign carriers. But o9 does not support voicemail, text messaging and has one big big glitch in its coverage namely it does not have any agreement with any Swiss carrier so o9 is useless in Switzerland (although they do support New Zealand which is a glaring hole in UM coverage).....
So choose what you need...for outgoing as of today, and obviously with all the other garbage going on, as long as Switzerland is not an integral part of your European trip, o9 is best for making calls to say the United States from Europe.
