    On the odd occasion that my internet is down, I phone a friend and ask him to look it up online for me.

    Costs 20p.

    20p?

    You need a https://www.18185.co.uk account.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    10p on the mobile to phone him and ask.

    10p on the mobile to phone him again later and get the number.

    Otherwise it would be Sipgate. :cool:
