To make chargeable calls (i.e. to normal landlines) you will need to add pre-paid credit to your sipgate account. You may do this from within your account by credit card through our simple but secure system.

So not free then?
Has anyone tried this?

The software is free and works well - and you do get a free phone number which is cool

Then you can call some countries via landline, for free!

I used sipgate to get a decent local area code 6 digit phone number (I was lucky enough to get a # that starts with treble 8!)
Give that number to people and use sipgates free software to receive incoming calls (people calling pay normal rates).

You can use a different service for outgoing calls (I use voipbuster, UK + USA landline calls 1p a min).

Just be aware of the problems people have been having with so-called "expired credit". There's nothing in the T&C's about this with the Voipcheap service, but they mug you after 120 days for whatever's in your account. And I don't think they're on their own.

you dont make out going calls with sipgate you just use it for incomming number then use voip stunt what i use for the free uk calls

I've been using Voipstunt for a few weeks. They gave me thirty minutes completely free at first and then I had to put credit in my account (10 Euros) to keep using it. They money is still there in my account unused, but I don't think I can ever get it back again.

Considering I make at least ten - fifteen hours a week of international calls, I have already had my money's worth. Telediscount used to charge me 1p a minute to call Australia and 2p a minute to call Sweden. I would easily spend £30 a month on international phone calls alone.

Drawbacks: sometimes the sound is not very good but usually hanging up and dialling again will fix it.
They cut you off after one hour but you can just redial. It would nice if they warned you but they don't.
They require a deposit to use it, but if you're a frequent caller to any of the nominated free countries, you'll get your money back.
