Good idea. Being in the US I think in USD, but obviously a
good portion of providers bill in other currencies. It might
be difficult to compare a USD rate to a GBP one, but I guess
we could do a crontab to update the conversion rates nightly
and then compare based on that.

Yep, essentially the idea is that most users will just plug
in a number, and the search functionality will find the actual
rate for that specific number. The individual country links at
the bottom are just a "quick look" into it. Might make sense
to clean it up and make it a drop-down list or something like
that later on.
