Hi Andy,
This is an interesting idea about the call-me-back button. I hadn't actually thought of this option and this certainly would simplify things. I'll have a play around with this over the next few days and see what can be done.
I've tried the 0844 numbers myself and while they do work the one problem is with the specific one I found via moneysavingexpert's website which allowed calling UK mobiles. The call quality really wasn't so good but the 0871's to mobiles in Poland, France and Germany were better but not without quality problems on occasion. I think this needs some more testing.
Finally, I must have read the exact post you are referring to on the voipfone forum! I've setup one of these IPkall numbers and given it to friends and clients in the USA. It really does work perfectly when forwarding to voipfone. The only minor issue is the incoming caller ID is lost and the call simply comes up as "Asterisk" with the IP address of the American server - not a big deal though.
I think there are certainly some interesting possibilities with this combination. For the moment I've decided to put this callkey sim down as a "tester" because it's not really proven until more of us use it extensively in different countries. It does seem to work 100% so let's just hope it stays like this as it's a rather good setup!
