Thanks for usefull info.
I have just been to voipstunt website and itsays free calls to uk landlines, reading into this it says only up to 1 minute unles you have topped up.
Whats the minimum topup ? any other catches?

€10 (Ten Euro) is the top-up plus 16% VAT, this credit lasts for 120 days, if you top up again before the 120 days then you keep your current credit.
You get 300 mins per week of free calls to those free call destinations, you are then charged from your credit 1c/min when over the free minutes.
They offer an incoming number for free, if you live in the main area codes, for example Birmingham, London, Manchester etc you will get an 0121, 020, 0161 number, if you live in a smaller area you may find you will get an 0560 number, BT however charge the same rate to call 0560 numbers as they do to 01 and 02 numbers on the BT Together 1 package, 1899 charges 3p per call to these numbers.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...

As Martin says today in his regular weekly E-Mail.If your calling a non Tesco Voip Customer.
DONT TOUCH THEM WITH A BARGE POLE.
They are expensive compared to other providers.0 -
I bought one of the Tesco phones as NTL cant get me a landline. It was tottally rubbish. When making calls i could hear other people crystal clear, but they could not hear a word i was saying. It might have had something to do with my internet connection being only 1mb. But Tesco being Tesco they took it back for me without a reciept, packagaing or cd. So no loss in the end
So dont bother there rubbish0 -
With other services, customers don't need to download any software, are not tied to a PC (it doesn't even need to be switched on) and can use an ordinary touch-tone phone to benefit from free evening and weekend calls to all UK landlines.0

That's a thousand calls at 3p each on 1899.
She has a habit of calling his mobile as his parents complain if the house phone is tied up.

I have told the pet teenager and her b/f in no uncertain terms that these phones are for calls to eachother only or me or her dads tesco phone. So far so good.
