Below is a reply from Vyke customer service that I received today...
It sounds like customers who hold American credit cards have to wait for some time.
Does anyone know whether there are other companies that provide SMS-triggered call-back service (ideally I can designate the recipient number such as landline)?
I would appreciate actual users' comments (such as reliability, call-quality, etc).
I usually use software-based voip (with laptop) during the trip if I have a broad-band internet connection (such as hotel room, etc); so I am not so interested in call-back system using internet as a trigger.

We regret that we currently do not support paid services for users purchasing via American issued credit cards. This is due to the high level of fraud associated with American credit cards.

While we understand that this prevents honest customers from purchasing our services, this decision has been made to protect the holders of cards that have been stolen, copied or otherwise compromised. As you may be aware from recent media coverage, this is a growing issue and, unfortunately, it appears that American consumers seem to be the primary targets of organized financial fraud.

We are working on additional security measures as well as alternate payment methods (Payex / Paypal) to allow Vyke to resume services to America based individuals.

Thank you for your understanding during this temporary closure. We will notify you as soon as we are able process payment from American-based customers.

Regards,
