| I want to be able to call QX-dial 0800/0808 via Voip.
Which free provider should I sign up with based on reliability and the
necessary CLI to be able to use the service?

This may sound silly, but why would you want to?
(afaik) all voip providers charge for 0800/0808 numbers and I'm sure
you'd be able to find some that are the same price or cheaper than
QX-dials routing services anyway.

Sipgate don't charge for 0800 numbers.

Just shows what you know Thomas I was never charged with Sipgate
for 0800 or 0808 calls and I am not charged now by Vonage or Voipfone
or Voipcheap .

Yes I have checked the tariff on these providers and 'freephone'
calls are free...but which provider is best based on my original
criteria of relibility and forwarding of the CLI?

Take a look at www.voipfone.co.uk 0800's and 0808 numbers are free to
call and they provide inbound and outbound caller ID and are very
reliable

Re: Caller ID Looks like Voipfone have added more new stuff this week I
just logged in to my account and noticed that you can control your own
CLI now
http://www.voipfone.co.uk/callerid.php
And although it's probably not relevant here i just spotted this too

It seems that the minimum call top up fee for voipfone is £10.
For my initial purposes I only need to make a 1 min call to an 0870
number (my reason for this only clouds the issue here) so not so keen
on spending £10 unless I really have to.
1,How much is the minimum credit is on voiptalk in order to make a
chargable call?
2. Does the CLI forward OK on voiptalk?
3. Voiptalk 0871: Charges to 0871 numbers vary. Insufficient info. is
provided by voiptalk to ascertain the charges. Although not of great
importance what are the charges (or further digits of the number)?

You get 5 minutes of free calls when you sign up with voipfone but i am
not sure if you can call 0870 numbers with the free minutes

That doesn't help for non voipfone customers to know what's involved or
offered as you need to sign up for the page you've offered.

Sipgate is exactly the same Brian but they are only like quite a lot
of small shops in this respect most will not allow you to use a card
unless you spend a fiver on goods . It may have gone up to £ 10.00 now
anything less than this amount the retailer is charged for the
transaction I have been told on a few occasions .

Good point so i have copied and pasted see below
You can choose which telephone number you wish others to see when you
call them. (ie which Calling Line Identity - CLI - you send). The
numbers you can use are displayed in the drop down menu below.
To change your CLI, click on the drop down menu and choose one of the
numbers, then click the 'Save the Changes' button.
in other words if you have 10 numbers with voipfone you can choose to
show any of your numbers as the outgoing cli for you line
