It isn't all bonus, as the earned WePay credit is only applied up to equal the value of the next cash top-up, but still, when the next RC premium text is charged you can say its effective cost is halved. Thus £10 sent to 3 then on to RC is worth 1000 minutes to landlines or 222 to mobiles.

A potential drawback of using RC with O2 when roaming is that I've occasionally had call charges for trigger numbers from a couple of countries' networks (Slovakia and Lithuania). My O2 bill a couple of years ago showed a 2 second call with per minute billing.

So don't go overboard in a new country without checking after the first couple of calls. If it does, I'm figuring a way to use a second callback service to send the caller ID to it, but then, if JustVoip is used for forwarding to a UK or IoM SIM, that might just as well be used instead
