VoIPBuster -Help

Hi

I have only just found out about all this free calling I have joined VoIPBuster and I was thinking I could get a free number but it is saying I need to pay money :confused:

Its saying pay £10 is this right? Also will this give me access to ring any uk number for free for as long as I want If I pay this?

also if I do pay this and I get my free number when I give people my number when they ring me will people still be able to reach me on my home phone number?

Many thanks nutty

    Also is it free to ring any were in the uk i just looked on the site and the uk ant listed :confused:
  • UK is not free any more !
    The minimum spend is 1 euro I believe. This will keep the account active for 180 days they then send you an email to get you to top-up your account:

    Dear xxx,

    VoipBuster credit is valid for 180 days.
    Your credit will expire in February.
    We advise you to use your credit before it expires and/or buy new credit* so your current credit will not expire.

    * buying new credit is only possible if you have a small credit left on your account.

    Kind regards,

    Ok thanks for that

    Is there anywhere I can get a free number or will I still have to pay money in with voipstunt as i would with VoIPBuster to get the free number?

    Also will people still be able to ring my house phone if i am using voipstunt

    Voipstunt will give a number but you have to put an initial deposit in first , which is now £10 I think.
    Also yes people can still ring you on your home phone whilst using voip.
    Other people have mentioned that they get cut off unless they put an initial deposit in. I havent had this problem yet but just to you are aware.

    I was getting cut off VoIP Stunt until I added credit, when I added credit I was able at that time to add €5 this has increased to €10, this does then give you the option of receiving an incoming number, however there are only certain areas such as Birmingham and London where you get a standard 01 or 02 number, if your area isn't covered you get a VoIP 056 number, you don't know until you apply for the number what type you get, nor can you change it.

    Yes you can still make and receive calls on your landline when using VoIP Stunt, as VoIP Stunt is VoIP - using your broadband, same way as you can browse websites, read email, download whilst being able to use the phone, VoIP is just data the same as the rest.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!

    Looks like you have to put €10 on your account if you want unlimited free calls as I was using it and got cut off and told that I had used all my free credit and need to but credit on

    Like Voipcheap, they are only free for 1 minute, unless you buy credit.

    I signed up for a VOIPstunt account yesterday and tested it with a 2 minute 8 second call. It was NOT disconnected after 1 minute.
