Actually, it seems that its 23 cent a minute rates to European mobiles is actually more than O2 would charge me, and there are plenty of SIMs here with cheap international rates, plus cheaper callthrough providers, so the claim of vast savings is absolute nonsense

Apart from the least cost routing of the call once you have dialled the switch (and paid a national call yourself), this is hardly Voice over IP (such as using mobile data) or am I missing something? Also, apart from the software front-end on the mobile, what makes this different from using any other calling card or account based option, apart from the fact that its prices are much higher than the average?

Spam?

You didn't introduce or describe your experience of using the product, just a pure cut-and-paste of PR material

Is this pure VOIP or merely a dial-in service with a program that hides the calling card process from the individual.
