Something else is missing: any variation of tariff. Can it really be the same price to landlines and mobile phones, to Belgium, Vanuatu and satellite phones?

Reading some of Mr Phelan's feedback on blogs, it appears that he is highlighting the caller vs receiver pays issue. As bbob says, with other SIMs, the choice of forwarding is one's own and probably cheaper.
Having someone as technically savvy and well regarded as Mr Pogue completely fail to notice incoming charges of over a dollar a minute, either on the account or even the website *, is something of a PR coup. Nobody else has managed to get roaming in the USA down to 15 cents. But it's simple: get a local SIM card and divert to it; any of us could set up a landline DID to do that from our contract inclusive minutes at very minimal cost like a cent.
* the tariffs were published on the website for a while, then offline again
