Maybe people will accept the obstacles in order to save money. We run a 
cumbersome callthrough service, where you have to dial a PSTN number 
from your mobile to access the service, then enter a PIN via DTMF, and 
then enter the destination number also via DTMF, and then cross fingers 
to get connected via a dirt cheap bad quality route. People still use it 
because it's cheaper than anything else they can find.
