Which VoIP provider has the cheapest tariff and supports SIP?

I want to make cheap calls at any time of any day.
I use a Safecom SDSIP-3000 phone behind a Netgear DG834v2 ADSL router
firewall with NAT and SPI.

I've got an account with SIPGate, but they're only cheaper than TalkTalk
during the weekday daytime. No use after dark or on weekends.
I've got a VoIPCheap account too, but they don't give you a UK geographic
number like SIPGate, and although the calls are "free" to UK landlines any
time of any day, you have to pay a tenner and that times out after 120 days.
I haven't recharged my credit in months. Some strange new definition of free
I wasn't previously aware of!! ;-(

Do any other providers do any better than these two?

Sorry to have to ask...
...in fact does anyone do a comparison site for VoIP, similar to say
uswitch?

Thankyou in advance, forum members...

Sipgate is no use at ANYtime.

You will not do better than Vonage for price,call quality,and service
27p a day will get you every geographical call you wish to make to the
UK and Ireland for free providing you are able to make good use of the
service no good if you are only making one or two calls a day.
Take a look at Voipfone.co.uk 2.00 a month for a local number and 1p a
minute for calls within UK and they do provide a very good service.

You have got a voipcheap.co.uk account then.
Have a look at voipcheap.com. Bizarrely they do include the UK in the
free destinations Actually you no longer lose any credit on either site,
but you do need to top-up every 120 days (co.uk) or 90 days (.com)
in order to qualify for free calls. I use-up the credit on uk mobile calls.

Thanks for that.
I've registered with voipcheap.com now.
Cost me ten euros.
Just one question...
...how do I get a voip-in number with them?

You don't as they've stopped issuing them.

Well a SIP phone ain't much use if nobody can phone it!
That's almost (but not quite) as daft as Skype not supporting SIP at all.
Ah well, I'll just use up the credit nattering to wifey on her mobile and
then dump it.
Well at least I tried.

Does anyone EVER go back to these companies to buy credit a second time?
They must make all their money out of first time customers!
Shoddy way to do business if you ask me.
