Anyone signed up for this who can rate it?

I read about this the other day as well and initially thought it was a VOIP/Internet phone type of product but that doesn't look to be the case. I'd love to hear somebody's take on this service that's given it a go as well.

BTW, has anyone heard of/seen any VOIP/Internet phone providers in NZ (other than Skype)? The states has a handful including Vonage, etc but I'm curious if there is a local company that would provide an NZ based number...

Woosh. I use their 3G broadband service - it's slow and not so hot, but I blame it on the fact I live in a concrete building with few windows.

Skype supposedly works pretty well here. My boss + co-workers use it often for work-related conference calls.
