Thanks for explaining this, I actually wrote a blog post (with working sample code) on exactly this topic, because we had some friends in town for Christmas who wanted to call home on Christmas morning without using those really expensive calling cards they were carrying. Basically they called into a U.S. local number with their cell phone, picked from a menu of potential options, and then Twilio dialed to the international number and connected them.

By the way, Twilio rates to New Zealand are 5.2 cents per minute (except for to some mobile lines, which are 47.4 cents per minute - depends on the carrier). http://www.twilio.com/international-calling-rates
