Sipgate Basic will give you a free VOIP number that can used via a VOIP app like CSipSimple or Zoiper and also via a conventional landline telephone using an adapter.

It also allows you to make outgoing calls showing the virtual number as the CLI from 1p per minute.

Would a dual SIM phone suit you?

Already got an Iphone and don't want to change it. Thanks for the suggestion though.

When they issue a phone number, what are the next five digits after the leading zero?

Had a quick look at their website and they claim it’s a UK mobile number and not a personal number.

Slightly more concerning, they say they will disconnect the number if it doesn’t receive at least 30 minutes a month (or pay £5 a month) and no text messages will be forwarded until you receive at least 200 minutes of calls or pay £5.

I definitely think Sipgate’s free 01xx or 02xx service is a better option.

Vyke offer extra virtual mobile numbers - it's operated via their app and their numbers appear to be issued by 3.
