| I got a geographic number from VOIPCheap and they assigned me 0161-700 xxxx
I thought that was pretty cool because I live in North Manchester, and my
landline number begins with 0161-7, as do most lines around here.
Some other facts about this number:
BT Caller display reports it as unavailable but
1471 reports the number in full, but as an international call
Dialing the number from my landline gives continental style ringback
It is not a 'protected' number that requires an FQN; I can just dial the
last 7 digits.
Does everyone get a Manchester number from VOIPCheap?

It does occasionally send the number in international format, when people who
use VoIP Cheap calls myself, it displays the full international number on my
Caller ID, as I only use VoIP.
You can indeed just use the local number to call your VoIP Cheap number.
Yes, when calling it, it rings in the continental style, not a problem to me,
No, everyone doesn't get a Manchester number, I have a Birmingham 0121 660
number, others have London 020 numbers, some people who aren't in an area they
VoIP Cheap have numbers for get a 0560 VoIP number.

Which rather begs the question: How did they know that I am in Manchester
and you are in Birmingham?
Actually, thinking about this further, there is a way they might have
guessed.
Most of the calls I made before parting with my GBP5 (that cut off after 1
Min) were to my own landline.
Another odd thing is before you put money in the account, you can dial a UK
number in national format, but afterwards you have to use international
format.
Incidentally my Sipgate number is 0161-660 XXXX

You gave them your name and address when you signed up/purchased credit?

It was by PayPal.
I have never been on the receiving end of a PP transaction, would they get
my address?

Yes, unless you specifically blocked it, it's set to be sent by default
when you make a payment.

Don't think I'll bother listing all my other Sipgate numbers I have from
around the UK.

How do you dial the x's ;-)
BTW my speaking clock on Sipgate 1431320 (020 7043 1320) is feeling a bit
neglected, give it a call..!

It seems to be a little fast.
Well a half a second or so anyway.

It's synchronised to MSF so it shouldn't be. It agrees with my wall
mounted MSF clock and the PC clock that's synchronised to an NTP server,
so maybe there's a delay in the phone call somewhere. What were you
dialling from, Sipgate, PSTN or other VoIP network..?
