    There's always voipcheap.

    Same company, just less free destinations but possibly a lower minimum charge.

    Incidently, I'm sure the five euro charge isn't a big deal anyway especially for those who use PAYG mobiles and can go through that credit fairly quickly.

    It says that you need to buy a VoIP phone for £69 from them... or can you also use a headset?
    That, is an excellent question...

    I still haven't worked out which company they are referring to. It may be Sipgate, which even with those you don't need to buy the phone from them, you can use the free software, or get the phone or ATA from places like https://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk
