| Have not seen much comment on here about Freetalk. So far I have found it
extremely good, very reliable, unlike Justdial and Sipgate which I have used
before.
It allows local dialling i.e. you do not need to dial the area code to call
a local number, voicemail is good. Only things they have not got working
properly are caller display to the called party displays "International" and
withheld numbers seem to show the number. Anonymous Call Rejection also does
not work, proably because they show the number.
If it continues working as well I will be dithcing my BT line (I use
Telewest for braodband) and keeping this.

Do they give you enough info to set up your own ATA, or are you forced
to use the one they supply (like Vonage)?

Like Vonage you need to use the supplied box one box being PAYG
19.99and the other " all calls" 79.99 but like Vonage the service is
good no downtime at all in the last four weeks since I subscribed .

When TW decides to give us our 10 Mb upgrade which shouldn't be long
now by all accounts our remaining BT line will be ditched also and so
will the F2S account now that useless Pipex have got hold of F2S .
