    I don't think that's an error because it works on a single letter entry principle unless you enter the second letter very quickly.

    So, it will have tried to jump to the S range but your not-quite-quick-enough entry of the second letter (P) made it jump to the P range.
    Ur rite. Many drop down windows allow you to type slowly and it will not over-rite the 1st letter with the 2nd, but you have to use the backspace to retype over the 1st. This software accepts 1st & 2nd letters in quick succession or 1st letter over-type if your not quick enough. As an oldon Ive not typed that quick to find out b4!

    I'd forgotten how the old checker looked like because I make most of my international calls free through orange broadband and everyday50; so not able to make any comparison as such. This new one is ok but I don't see a point in asking for the other when you don't offer a rate. This is the littel box that props up:

    I always have reservations about warning! signs - it reflects some sort of underconfidence. A better idea might be to go on and give a guidance rate with a * sign and then to give explanatory notes for the * at the bottom as we normally do instead of just stopping the search with a warning prop up. Might also help giving some links to other poviders for instance orange.

    Just tested with lookup to Spain. However the timezone looks like it is out.

    Current time (UK GMT) was 06:54, actual time in Spain (CET = GMT +1) is 07:54.

    However, call checker says it is 08:54 i.e. GMT+2
