I'm a complete newbie at this, so please bear with me.
I have a Sipgate number with the X-lite softphone which worked fine.
I thought it might be sensible to use 18866's VOIP system.
But when I use the 18866 settings, I can dial out via 18866 at their
prices but -- understandably -- the Sipgate number for people to ring me
won't work as there is no username, password etc for it.
In fact I can't see how to get any dial-to-me number working with 18866.
Can someone help, please?

18866 VoIP service is a dial out service only.
What you need to do is add both the Sipgate settings, and the 18866 settings
to x-lite.
For example 18866 settings in the default proxy, and then sipgate settings
in proxy 1.
If you want 18866 to display your sipgate number when dialling out, add that
number to 18866 and then use that number as log in details for 18866.

If you mean you can't add a sipgate number to 18866 and then use:
Server: iax.call18866.co.uk
Username: 18866[+full sipgate number]
Password: 18866 account number
Then I have just added another sipgate number to 18866 and am able to call
from 18866 with the sipgate number displayed.

I wish I was.
Been trying for some time. I'll end up collecting more Sipgate numbers than
I need at this rate.
I can use 18866 from my landline but not with VOIP
1899, I can use with numbers I registered with originally, however, no new
number will work.

I don't think you can do that using SIP with an ATA.

Use other numbers other than your initial registered number!
I used to use my sipgate number like that with 18866, then a few weeks
ago it stopped working. 18866 works OK with my original number.
So I registered another account with 18866 with my Sipgate number only.
And for some unknown reason I cannot connect my ATA to the new account,
although I can still connect to the old account.

With 1899 I am having the opposite trouble, original registered numbers don't
work, yet newly added numbers do.

I can't even get a sensible reply from either company. All they send is a
brief sentence, usually without answering my query, followed by "we hope
this has answered your query" (or similar)

As I said, you can't do that by using numbers other than the original
registered number.
And, as I said before, because it stopped working with additional
numbers I registered a new account with 18866 using my sipgate number as
the registered number - I cannot connect my ATA to this account, but I
can still connect my original account to my ATA with my original
registered BT number (but not other numbers on that account)

Any chance you could outline how to set up X-Lite with both 18866(outgoing
calls) and Sipgate(incoming calls)? This is how I would like to use X-Lite,
but thus far I have not managed to se it up. As for the issue above about
outgoing caller id, is it best to just create a new account with 18866 using
the sipgate number, that way it should all work, including the correct
sipgate caller ID being displayed when calling out using 18866..
Thanks Joe

http://www.bextech.co.uk/voip lists details on how to set up x-lite with
Sipgate and 1899, just substitute the 1899 iax set-up with 18866 iax settings
from my previous post. It does detail on setting up x-lite and firefly
together or separately.

Maybe it's me, but I really can't see exactly what goes where.
I'm not sure which servers/proxies (in X-lite) to set up with your iax
settings.
Also, will it work with the default sip proxy as sipgate; and proxy 1
with the 18866 settings.

You can put either in default proxy or proxy 1.
With default proxy that is the one used to dial out on unless you specify
otherwise, either by right clicking and selecting the dial out account or #
and the proxy number in front of the dialled number, ie #10207043nnnn.
If you want sipgate on default proxy enter:
Enter the details like in http://www.bextech.co.uk/voip/VoIP04.jpg (except you
will be entering these details in 'default proxy')
Then in proxy 1 enter the 18866 details as in
http://www.bextech.co.uk/voip/VoIP05.jpg but instead of 1899 you need 18866
details:
User name: 18866[+full sipgate number]
Password: 18866 account number
Domain/Realm: iax.call18866.co.uk
Sip Proxy: iax.call18866.co.uk
OutBound Proxy: iax.call18866.co.uk
You may need to set up the stun server for Sipgate, this you enter under
'Network': http://www.bextech.co.uk/voip/VoIP02.jpg

My 18886 account seems to have stopped completely, even with the
original number. It worked fine under SIP, but I never managed to get
it going at all with IAX. I've tried X-Lite, Firefly and the snom
softphone. I even tried modifying the 1899 softphone for the 18866
settings, but it wouldn't accept them. Has anybody got any brilliant
ideas, or some configuration settings that work for them?

Yep. Since writing my first post above 18866 via SIP has indeed
stopped on my original number too.
I don't know about 1899 VoIP now since they now charge 1ppm whereas
18866 is 2p connection only via POTS

18866 VoIP no longer working for me now. :-(
