Just wanted to point out that this might be particularly beneficial to people like me who have their phone line and broadband with bulldog. Not only can we not use carrier prefixes but they seem to bar all of the cheap dial numbers out there. So for some, this is ideal.

Don't forget their sister VoIP company https://www.voipbuster.com many more destinations for free.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but "To counter the misuse of our network and to reserve capacity for our genuine testers, we have limited our Free-Calls policy to 1 minute per call. If you want to enjoy UNLIMITED free calls, just register and buy 1 euro worth of credit"

That's not bad news. You pay 1 Euro which I did some months back, and then you can make unlimited free calls to many destinations.

With VoIP Cheap you pay £1 to make unlimited free calls to just 3 locations.

You aren't seriously complaining about paying VoIPBuster 69 pence to then be able to make free calls, it's only if you don't pay that the calls cut off after around 1 minute, the same as VoIP Cheap.

Yes you get unlimited number of calls to landlines in the UK, USA, Spain, The Netherlands and many other destinations.

Calls cut off after 60mins, just redial.

How will you get a charge on you phone bill???? You aren't using your phone!

Why would you get a charge on your internet bill? Do they charge you for using email, downloads, web browsing on top of your monthly fee??

No you won't get a charge to your phone line, be a little difficult to do so in any case.

If you are on a capped internet service, if you go over your download limit then your internet provider may charge for any additional traffic as they would any other internet use. If you do have a capped service unless you are going to spend hours a day each day on phone calls, then it won't be a problem.

I have paid the £1 (not 1 Euro as they stated) to use VoIP. It was going great until the other evening I was talking to a cousin in Ireland when it kept disconnecting me at the 10 minute point. I tried emailing VoIP but to no avail.

Has anyone else suffered the same problem?

I am signed up to Skype and just recently have had the same probem continuously when the programme just closes down on me. Fortunately its just for pc to pc calls but annoying all the same and I wondered about uninstalling and reinstalling or should I try a different programme?

I've been using it for several months, not had any disconnections (yet).
