I would advise anyone with voip.co.uk to double check their account. Just had a look at mine and noticed that they've decided to charge me yesterday for their UK Monthly Bundle at £1.99 and back dated it to the end of January :( Max

Hi, I am using sipgate via my sipura 2100 to a calling card service. I ring an 0800 number and it connects fine. When it asks me for my PIN number from the card it is not recognised. Why could this be ? Could it be the tones are not being recognised? I changed some dialtone settings in the sipura but its still the same. Any healp greatly appreciated.

Looks like the USA company that is getting the jump on AOL by being weeks ahead in giving away incoming USA numbers is now offering UK numbers in almost every location It also is giving away voice mail, and there is a $5 US credit that you get to make calls. web site given to me is www.voicestick.com They seem to be on the move.

Hi I appear to be having real problems with the outgoing call quality of different VOIP providers (so im guessing its my fault) to PSTN numbers (havent tried SIP-SIP, except for echo tests my voipfone), my config is as follows NTL 10Mbit (i think its 600/700kilobit upload) Linksys PAP2 Codecs tried gu711a/u and g729

Does anyone know if Skype supports sending DTMF tones? I tried a couple of calls last night, using 0844 callthrough providers to try and reach UK mobiles, and I was asked to enter number after I already had. I don't think it was any of the other providers involved in the call, as I've used them before without problems. Thanks for any info.

Hi, Can you recommend an ITSP that will enable me to keep my existing telephone numbers? I will be installing hardware in office so don't want hosted solution. Are thee any that will enable me to sell on to my clients? Not essential. Many thanks

Hi I am finding that some of my users are getting dropped calls when behind NAT using the new version of X-Lite. It is the same behaviour you see if you set Send Audio When Silent to No in the older versions. As this option doesn't exist in the new version does anyone know a fix? Regards Jon

I have just noticed that the call rates on http://www.voipcheap.com/en/rates.html are different to http://www.voipcheap.co.uk/en/rates.html

Okay. Well, in the UK if you call from a BT line to a BT line and the person you call puts down their phone i believe it does not disconnect the caller for around 10 minutes? I've used many VoIP providers, and some also work in this way, and some also work like mobiles do. If you call someone and they hang up, it disconnects you. It's annoying that many providers work in the same way as BT,...
