Free UK landline calls via broadband?

BexTech

Yes for the .com version of VoIP Cheap.

VoIPStunt.com offers free calls for 120 days.

After 90/120 days your credit can still be used, so you don't have to top up until you use up all your credit, but destinations that were free during your free days are now chargeable, as they are after 300 mins each week.

VoIPCheap.com and VoIPStunt.com are €10 (Ten Euro) top-up (about £6.75)

Also, I seem to have lost the ability off accepting calls direct to my home phone when the PC is switched off. I was able to do this before, any suggestions?

Aww, so what I will have setup at the moment I won't get any free calls to UK landlines at all? The problem is I seem unable to login to my router or adapter to change the settings to .com

Afraid I don't have any, as I only have VoIP as my phone service (other than mobile) so use an ATA with my house phones connected to them, so even without PC on, I still have VoIP.

(Cable user, so no need for a phoneline).

Were you diverting your incoming number to your home phone?

No, when I say home phone I just mean a normal phone connected to a SIP adapter which in turn in connected to my router. Same setup as I had before.

OK i've managed to sign-up with VoipCheap.com and updated my VoIP adapter settings. I've got my free calls to UK landlines back and it works again with my PC switched off

B*******s - i've just read that you can no longer get a VoIP-In number?! :mad:

If you want a free voip-in number, try https://www.sipgate.co.uk. My ATA device has two lines, one for sipgate for a free incoming number (and free voicemail which directs to your e-mail inbox, so it is the number I put on forms and people I don't want to speak to), and the other line is used for voipdiscount or whichever voip services happens to be cheapest at the time.

Try http://www.gizmoproject.com/learnmore-allcallsfree.html - they claim to give free calls to UK landlines and unlike the VOIPStunt etc. providers, you don't need to buy credit first.
