I know this feature is on several phones that I have used and know that in various countries abroad they use this technology. Why hasn't it been embraced in the UK?

It was available several years ago but hardly anyone used it. t-Mobile in particular had very attractive rates.

Thought it was just Orange who trialled it?

To be honest in America you pay for incoming as well as outgoing calls on your mobile so ptt is really handy out there and is not really needed here!

We have 07 numbers in the uk so each operator makes a percentage of every incoming call that's why we pay 15 - 25p per min when calling uk mobiles.
