I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme but readers who are interested in
following the LocalTel/Screaming.net story up should take a look at
www.theregister.co.uk and run a search for "screaming". A headline from
12th July reads "LocalTel restricts free Web calls to two hour blocks" and
details the problems users have been experiencing.
A quick look at the subject headers of the ISP forum of .Net magazine
indicates a lot of people have been attracted by the free phone calls and
obviously disappointed, see:
