Free mobile phone number and geographical landline number with voicmail for PC.

Do you know any service offering free mobile phone number and geographical landline number with voicemail for PC?

Regarding geographical phone numbers I thought that sipgate is offering them, but actually when I was trying to register it offered only 0845 and 0870 numbers to choose from.

Try Voipbuster. Sipgate I think you can choose a local number other than a non-geographical one (at least you could last time I checked)

If your IP is not registering as UK you could always try using a UK-based proxy site such as http://www.daveproxy.co.uk/, which would make the Sipgate website think that you visiting with a UK IP.

I got the same idea, but it is difficult (time consuming) to find a uk based proxy.

The http://www.daveproxy.co.uk/ does not work with https:

"Retrieval of secure URLs through a non-secure proxy is forbidden.

This proxy is running on a non-secure server, which means that retrieval of pages from secure servers is not permitted. The danger is that the user and the end server may believe they have a secure connection between them, while in fact the link between the user and this proxy is insecure and eavesdropping may occur. That's why we have secure servers, after all.

This proxy must run on a secure server before being allowed to retrieve pages from other secure servers. "

BTW, sipgate support is useless, they just advise to go to another computer. LOL :mad:

A possible solution is to set up an account at a library etc. where you can usually get free internet access, and then log in + download the client software at home.

Mr._AZ

I know sipgate gives you a free UK number - anyone know where I could pick up an Irish number?
