Ok, the Vodafone International tariff is new, and has a lot more countries than the original list of just a few

"Vodafone Pay as You Go call costs on the Simply Tariff for Vodafone International are:
USA, Canada, China: 5 ppm cost to call landline, 5 ppm cost to call mobile."

Ok, now I'm back at home, and not browsing for rather limited periods on a mobile in wi-fi coverage, I looked at the Vodafone website
The terms and conditions are unambiguous:
UK - About Vodafone UK - Legal Information - Terms and conditions - Vodafone Passport
Quote:
2. The Promotion: The Offer Period is from 0.00 on 1 June to 23.59 to 31 August 2009 UK time. Whilst registered with Vodafone Passport and within a Vodafone Passport country:
a. voice calls, texts and picture messages made or sent to the UK and within the same originating Vodafone Passport country during the Offer Period will be charged your standard UK rate; and
...
4. Vodafone Passport applies to voice calls made back to the United Kingdom or within the visited country and excludes calls to other countries, premium rate numbers and all data transfers (including text and picture messages).

So I think that is very clear - there will not be 5 pence a minute calls from Europe direct to USA or any other country
