Hehe. The only limitations are: go through a us IP address to register (only the first time) and register a US phone number as your own.

For the IP address, just use a web proxy located in the US (I had some trouble finding one that worked well with Google Voice's site).

For the US phone number, buy a US Call In number from Gizmo5 (35$ for 1 year) or Skype. You will receive a verification phone call from Google that asks you to enter a 2 digit code.

I am cautious about this kind of cheap service in general as they might be in fact a way to collect personal data for spamming etc. I am not talking about CloudContacts specifically (which are probably legit).

As for myself, I would have gladly tried this service, but most of my business cards are in japanese, which probably wouldn't get processed...

That's not my experience : I get typically under 50m precision in Tokyo. However, you may have changed the setting to indicate only the city and not the exact location ?

Yes, I'm a geek, I have to admit it... Still, I was patient : I waited 18 months before changing my mobile equipment : there was nothing new that made me switch from Willcom/W-ZERO3 until now...
