Anyone else having problems with Sipgate?

Calling my numbers from PSTN either results in number not recognized or
we can not connect you to the service.

I thought I had a large number (4) of Sipgate numbers.

What on earth are you doing with 7? Or is that just STDs - you may have
more?

Buster and a few others.

Could I just make the point that there is a cost associated with providing
these numbers. If lots of people grab more numbers than are necessary, there
is less of a chance that the service will continue to be available to the
rest of us.

Maybe you have a genuine need for so many numbers, and you fund each one, in
which case I apologise.

There are genuine reasons for the numbers, and money is put into them.

*Please* put a space in here dex it makes life so much easier g

On the other hand I stand corrected if I am wrong but if these
numbers are so costly to provide I don't see Sipgate making any
provision on their site for handing unused numbers back or even
canceling accounts that are not required anymore

Unused numbers can be returned to the pool if unused for a period of time,
there isn't currently a fixed ceiling on this but I wouldn't expect to
keep a number that you haven't used for 6 months or so. If you know you
won't need an account/number any more tell Sipgate and the number can be
returned to the pool straight away.

I just put a space in my killfile for him until such time as he learns
English. I had assumed he was about 11, but he revealed that he was
somewhat older. It seems that education standards weren't very good in
the 50s either

The wholesale cost to Sipgate for a number is surprisingly high. They
seem to be giving the numbers away and hiking the call prices to cover
the cost. This doesn't look to be good business sense given that one
can easily avoid Sipgate's call prices by using 1899 instead.

01738 down, at the mo'... Just jotted down a message for them - a
little bit harsh - let me see if it gets a reply...
If this happens another single time, I'm goin' away from SipGate, I
can't afford to have an unreliable phone number.
