Yes, that's out of date. I have the card, and I've received calls in the US with it, the rates shown on the rate calculator have now been updated to show that the US is $0.00/min incoming. My online billing shows these calls, and they are free.
The number is a Callkey number range in the Isle of Man (subcontracted from Manx Telecom), which is the same range GT-sim use (i.e. +44 7624 10n nnn). Charged same as UK mobiles by most companies (a few might get confused as it is a "pager" number range, and Skype at least charges it as a landline). Enlinea charge it as UK mobile and callbacks to it with Enlinea work (23c/min to US).
I agree it's odd Canada is still charged for. It's too cold just now to drive up there to check the rate.
Perhaps the main difference is the 0044 card isn't their product, they are simply retailers for the card, which is a "CallKeyOne" card. Callkey are a callback company (Isle of Man and Tucson, Arizona), so likely have a switch in the US already.
So maybe the expected reduction in the GT-sim surcharge in the US will be soon as well, GT-sim did mention "February" for that (and more roaming) at one time.
