Google Voice does phone termination, but only in the US & canada. Like how you'd normally consider skype device-to-device, but you can pay extra to get a skype number and make & receive calls to/from other phone numbers? Just like that, but with a bunch of extra features (automatically transcribing voicemails is the one I heard the most about). GV exists in Europe, but the call termination part (which doesn't) sounds like it'd be very central to the usage he describes replicating.
