Various Betamax voip sites not accepting new accounts/or credit cards

Various Betamax voip sites not accepting new accounts/or credit cards

I'm having a strange problem logging in, or setting up new accounts with various VOIP clients.

I've downloaded voipcheap, justvoip, voipraider, voipwise, and smslistto. SMSLISTTO has the cheapest per minute rates to UK mobiles (only 3pence/minute). For this reason, I tried to set-up an account. It blocked me stating unknown problem with registration.

I assume because I've downloaded so many of these clients (which are all betamax products), I've been banned from registrating on anymore. But, how can they know it's me. I've downloaded the different voip from different locations on my laptop. Surely my IP has changed.

My questions are

1) How do i easily change my own IP?
2) Why, after listing Canada as my home location are credit cards not available as a payment option on some of these Betamax voip sites?
3) Has anyone esle downloaded many of these clients and experienced the same problem?

thx

    I've only downloaded the VC on so I dunno about downloading multiple ones.

    Re: your IP though, go to https://www.whatismyip.com

    Jot down your IP.

    Turn your router off or unplug the modem.

    Make a cuppa.

    Come back and plug everything back in.

    Check your IP again.

    If it's the same, you might want to try doing the same but instead of leaving the modem/router disconnected for the time it take to make a cuppa, do it overnight.

    If your IP's STILL the same after it being off overnight then there's not much you can do.

    What ISP are you with?

    And downloading the voipcheap apps to different locations on your hard drive doesn't matter, since there's a very good chance they add entries to the registry.
    They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it, they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it
