| Know little about this, so please excuse the newbie-ness.
As far as I can tell, I need to do the following (please correct me if I'm
wrong):
Set up a 'VoxLite' Account with Voxalot, which allowes one SIP Registration.
Set Voxalot up to work with VoipCheap.com using the SIP Settings on the
VoipCheap.com website. (if there's anything else I need to know about this
part, please let me know)
Then all calls should (if I'm right) ring on our VoipCheap.com Account?
Thanks.

There seems to be some mixed thinking here. Your heading involves
'forward calls' and your message 'registration'.
If you have an incoming number, with voipcheap, and you register the
account with voxalot - then you register voxalot on your ATA, then it
will ring your phone when you get an incoming call to your voipcheap
number. Is that what you wanted to know?
OR
If you were wanting to FORWARD calls, via voipcheap, then there is no
necessity for registration. You simply forward the calls to whatever
number you want and use voipcheap as your provider. Is that what you
wanted to know?

If I am correct I believe you want use Voxalot to assign a number to your
voipcheap.com account. vc accounts do not come with a number and voxalot
does not actually provise a number. You can use another service provider to
get your phone number.
My recommendation is to register with orbtalk for a free geographic number
and use the following settings on voxalot to set them up when you have done
this:
Provider Name* Orbtalk
Username* 1234567
Codecs* alaw;g726;g729;g723
Host* talk.orbtalk.co.uk
Port* 5060
Active* Yes
SIP Register* Yes
Optimize Audio Path No
where 1234567 is your Orbtalk user name. Other settings given by Orbtalk
are known to fail. Sipgate blocks Voxalot.
Then set up your VoipCheap.com account as follows:
Provider Name* VoipCheap
Username* username
Codecs* alaw;g726;g729;g723
Host* sip.voipcheap.com
Port* 5060
Active* Yes
SIP Register* No
Optimize Audio Path No
where username is your VoipCheap user name.
You will then need to put your voxalot account information into your ata.
To route outgoing calls via voipcheap, you will need to set up a dial plan
in voxalot. The voxalot forum gives lots of examples but you will need to
remember to put in dial prefixes, for example:
Pattern Replacement Provider
_00Z. ${EXTEN} VoIPCheap - dials international numbers as is
_0Z. 0044${EXTEN:1} VoIPCheap - converts number 01274234567 into
00441274234567
_N. 00441274${EXTEN} VoIPCheap - converts number 234567 into
00441274234567
Remember to use the full stops (wildcard), and the 0s are zeroes!

There is a reference on the VoIPCheap.com website to a voip-in service,
but I cannot work out how (or if) you get a number.
VoIPCheap.co.uk did give out free UK geo numbers some time ago, and
I still keep my account a few pence in credit and so far I have managed to
keep the number, (a particularly memorable 0161 number as it happens).
When voxalot allowed free registrations, I couldn't get any of my incoming
accounts to reliably register, I tried my voipcheap.co.uk, Orbtalk & Sipgate
accounts. Are things any better now you have to pay?

Orbtalk is a bit sensitive settings-wise, but if you use the settings I gave
you (not the ones they give you) you should have no problems. Sipgate
doesn't like Voxalot, nominally because you have to entrust them with your
password so they are blacklisted. Apparently it occasionally works with the
US server, but that could be because there are two proxy servers and only
one may be blacklisted.
But the good news is I have got Voxalot working reliably with 4 or 5
different providers. They also now allow provider-based forwarding rules,
so I can now stop using my ata to forward which gives better quality.
