Thank you As I say, someone else told me about it who, modestly, doesn't wish to be named.

From the Teleflip FAQ:

Where does Teleflip work?

Currently, Teleflip works only in North America (Canada, US, Caribbean, Hawaii, Guam). We are working on adding more countries soon.

Earlier today, I tried to send a message to a friend here in Russia using it and got an interesting response:

The following recipients do not appear to be valid North American phone numbers. Please check the number and try again - if you believe that the number is valid, please contact us at http://www.teleflip.com/teleflip/contactpage.jsp.

I never bothered to ask if it applied worldwide or just to U.S. providers. Good to know that it works only (and very well) in North America apparently.
