While this is nice and everything, and clearly aimed squarely at generating the LD revenue that accompanies it for the international calling, can we go back to the drawing board a bit and FIX the apps that the other 85% of us use? The lingering issues the some of the legacy applications is very troublesome, and the alarming string of people having verifiable issues is beginning to take its toll.
