And some may resort to complaining about advertising in this group
are you there Ivor !!!!! .

| melonite@gmail.com 2006-12-22, 7:11 am |
| That is for 25 numbers per year, if you want more than 25 numbers the
prices of course will increase, although if your requirements are for
100+ numbers then the price can be fully negotiated.
For =A35.00 GBP you can have 1 geographical number per year. (Random
number supplied from the requested area/dialling code)
If ordering a block of numbers, the numbers are supplied in sequential
order for the requested telephone area code(s)
01 and 02 Numbers can only be terminated to VoIP (SIP/IAX2/H.323)
I think people will agree that =A35.00 per year for a UK Geographical
number is a small and modest fee to be free to use any VoIP Provider
you like, not tied to one with the number, you get full control over
the number so that you can change where the number is terminated using
our control panel.

Back in your box, Ron. That wasn't advertising, it was an answer to a
question asked.
I don't think many will take him up at that price, do you..?

Don't forget you're competing with the likes of Sipgate, who will give
anyone a UK geographic number for free. Obviously, free is a lot
cheaper than a fiver, even if a fiver is a pretty nominal fee.

Yes, a fiver is a small amount of money nowadays. But one can get a
free number from other providers, or deposit [say] a tenner of credit
with a provider, and spend that credit on calls.

How does getting a number from a provider tie you into them? I've got a
Sipgate number I use for inbound calls [because I've had it for 18
months, and it's vaguely memorable], and I've got a voip.co.uk account
I use for outbound calls because they're cheap. I can have many free
accounts from many providers, and I won't ever be tied in to any of
them. I guess I'm just not seeing the unique selling point of your
offering. Perhaps there isn't one?

| You are correct in stating that providers such as Sipgate offer a
"free" number when you sign up with them, but that number can only
be terminated at your Sipgate account, not any other, so it means you
have to remain with a Sipgate account in order to keep the same number,
basically, leave sipgate and leave the number.
With the service we offer, you're able to choose which provider you
wish to use, and you can terminate the number to any VoIP Destination,
thus not tied to one provider in order to keep the inbound number. So
for example if you have a "free" number from the likes of Sipgate
or any other provider, if that ITSP goes down you would be unable to
receive any inbound calls on your PSTN number.
Example: You have a "free" SIP account and PSTN number from
"Snake Oil VoIP" and that ITSP goes down, you'd not be able to
receive any calls on your inbound PSTN number because the provider is
down. But if you had a number from us that was terminating at your sip
address with "Snake Oil VoIP" you are able to login at our control
panel and change the destination instantly (as changes are real time)
of the number to another VoIP account to ensure your able to receive
calls.

But surely, your service would tie me to you? So what's the advantage?

Not entirely true. We have limited number portability at the moment,
and I reckon 100% portability will be with us before long.

I'm still not getting it. What if your systems go down? What happens to
my calls then? How is being tied to you different to being tied to any
other provider?

Yes it would tie you to ourselves as a customer, we offer a 99% SLA
that numbers we supply are reachable from the PSTN both domestic and
international networks at all times.
And of course your free to use any VoIP/ITSP you want, swap and change
as many times as you like, without losing the number, somewhat like
number porting, simply use our control panel and make the change, and
within a matter of seconds the number is updated to your new
destination.

Voipfone will port in a Sipgate number, for example. The number of
providers who port to/from each other is only ever going to grow.

So it is £5 for one number, £200 for 25. Seems a very strange sort of
idea. I'd expect them to get cheaper, not more expensive, as you buy
in quantity.

Yeas and no. It costs nothing to have from Sipgate, and you can
receive calls through it whoever you use to make calls.
I can't see any advantage in your offering over Sipgate's.

=A35 p/a incl VAT for a single *RANDOM* number from the area code
requested.
=A3200 p/a incl VAT for a block of 25 *SEQUENTIAL* numbers from the area
code requested.
If you look at some providers who charge anything from =A31.99 a month
for the number to others charging =A325.00 Excluding V.A.T. for just 1
random number, big difference don't you think?

Yes you can receive calls on your sipgate number regardless of who you
use to make the outbound call, however if sipgate goes down then you
don't receive any calls, have you read the previous posts in this forum?

And if you go down, I still can't receive any calls.
I'll stick with Sipgate, thanks.

Voipfone will allocate numbers for £1.69 per month per number, and
blocks of numbers for an additional £1 per number one off setup fee.
Some people may prefer your offer of course, thats fine.
As alex has said, porting between providers avaiablity is becoming
increased, so people can move easily. Are 'you' a member of ITSPA? Does
this company providing these numbers have a website?
If i were to use on of your numbers with sipgate, how do i have this
number set as outbound caller ID? some providers do allow you to set
your CLI to a number not on your account, but not all.

What festive season Ivor ? tomorrow or should I say today is just
another Monday in my book, it is only you boozers and people who
like to fill their guts with food to bursting point and spew it all up
on the pavements that call it something else.
Stuff your festive season .

Do you mean to tell me, that with Voipfone, I can pay around £2/month
and with a one-off setup fee of around £10 have 10 incoming numbers?
(sequential). (In the same way you can with voip.co.uk for £2/number).
If my memory serves me right, with voipfone you can set them to
terminate at a static destination using either SIP or IAX2 too. (as is
the case of the original poster).
Sounds too good to be true, shame they don't support G.729.

It's £2 per number per month. So its £20 a month for 10 numbers (if
you're rounding up)
As you say, no support for G.729, but there is support for GSM.
