    i just signed up with sipgate.co.uk

    spent all day trying to find a decent number, but my problem, my broweser crashed just after i went to the "we are sending you a confirmation email and you have 24 hours to confirm its yours and you get your number"

    i read that just before it died, i have checked my mail and i havent recieved anything yet :-/

    any idea how long the mail takes to arrive?

    tried to log on and it says my account isnt existing,

    hoping its just lagging and i dont have to spend hours refresing for a good number again :'(

    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!

    next stupid question

    i admit i havent fully read all the thread (its just so long)

    but i remember reading that voipbuster or voip cheap no longer do free calls? or you have to pay £5 every 120 days to get the free calls?

    is that right, or is my memory poo :-/

    is this place
    http://www.sipdiscount.com/en/index.html
    the same as voip buster etc? with the free calls?

    it seems to be as they are all in the same network / style, im just more tempted to use these guys as you can sign up online with not downloading their stupid program and enter the details into the xlite one?

    I recommend using sipgate (not sipdiscount) for incoming calls (free pohone number) and voipcheap or voipbuster for outgoing calls :)

  • I also noticed sipdiscount doesn't allow calls to as many landlines as voip buster even though its the same network :S I call my girlfriend in new zealand ever day for free but sipdiscount seems to charge for NZ! ah well

    EDIT: And yes you can enter their details in the x-lite page.. see other posts for info
