I don't really have a problem with companies that only accept US (or non-US) cards, since I have cards from the US and UK. What is annoying and timewasting for all concerned is when they don't mention anywhere this is the case, and just use meaningless generic error messages, as in the case with both Vyke and Voipfone.co.uk. Neither states what they accept or don't accept (and neither takes Paypal).
