Looking that way Roy just called my number and nothing , they are
slowly going the way of Sipgate how many times have they been down now
in the passed few weeks ? .Have you noticed the rot has only set in
since they have started adding stuff that doesn't really matter .

Vonage .

PBX ok if you have a use for one Freetalk is ok especially for anyone
like me who picked up the All Calls box for 19.98 the other week from
Dixons website when they made a mistake with the pricing . Tried for
the 99.99 32 in widescreen TV and stand that they had on last
Saturday should have been 498.00 they soon emailed everyone telling
them that they had run out of stock !! )) .

Yes my voipfone was down - quite a long time too.
Currently there isn't much competition.
voiptalk (if you can get it working) doesn't offer a geo number unless
you subscribe to their 'silver service' @ £2.99/month.
Up to that you get a 0871 - at least with voipfone if you don't pay £2
for a geo you can use an 056 number which, from 18866, costs the same
as a geo. and is not, anyway, as expensive to call from other
operators as an 0871. I don't think that voiptalk have got their model
quite right. I don't know how reliable they are - I haven't managed to
get it working properly yet.
I wouldn't be interested in paying a block amount for calls to Vonage
etc. I want the freedom to choose operator at any one time.

At 18.99 plus 6.99 a month you could do a lot worse than Freetalk been
with them a month now and no down time , another advantage over
voipfone , sipgate and the rest including Vonage is that with Freetalk
you do not need to keep dialing your local area code when making a
local call .

Works out to be equivalent to 1026 voipbuster UK minutes/month at
today's currency conversion. What you choose all comes down to how
much you use your landline.
Alternatively, for a while at least, an infinite number of sipdiscount
UK minutes and 5 Euros back in your pocket this month (compared to the
£6.99 spend) - over 10 Euros/month less spend, after that, if free
calls continue.
> been with them a month now and no down time ,

No down time is an advantage. However I have found that voipbuster has
been much more reliable of late.

I don't need to dial my local code, this is taken care of in my dial
plan.
