I hope this 'validation' is ... ummm... considerate. ie, you will only
be called between 9am and 9pm local time.

Also, which countries is this valid for? If I register my phone number
in australia, will you make that international call? or someone in South
Africa? Who is covering these costs?

Personally, I'm still trying to overcome the cost issue where routing 
calls over my internet connection may in fact be MORE expensive than 
routing those calls over the PSTN.

(Considering I pay per MB for my traffic).
Then there is also the added problem of trying to ensure QoS....
