VoIP provider with CLI withhold

I'm looking for a SIP-based provider with incoming geo number for a
small fee of up to a few pounds per month.

Not too bothered about bundled minutes (it's for business use when
working from home).

JustDial Voip almost fits the bill but they don't support per-line or
per call CLI withold.

Other must-haves are call diversion, multi-party calls and voicemail.

Any suggestions? Gradwell?

TIA

Hi Mark,

I use Gradwell for VoIP, and though not the cheapest around, they do
offer a good package, however I don't see in the control panel where
you can disable CLI .... email their support team, they are very
helpful.

For each external number purchased, you get 10 extensions to use - I
have one configured as a 'hunt group' which dials 3 different VoIP
telephones (I call it 'reception') and then the 3 of us also have our
internal extension numbers we can use to dial each other, transfer
calls etc.

We went for a geographic number rather than the less expensive 087x
numbers, but think the options are the same for both.

Regards,

Robin

Sipgate give a FREE geographical number. They also do voicemail, and CLID
withhold. All for FREE!

And they also do not give a "business" quality service, support incoming
DTMF and support IAX.

If the poor recent history documented in newsgroups is remotely
reflective of their service, then how can (or why should) I rely on
them?

You can dial 141 as a prefix to do it per-call. We could easily add an
option to do it per-line if there was demand for it.

Gradwell do a free trial ... I'd suggest trying it and see if it works
for you. I believe you can choose any geographic area code, and is
free for the first 3 months, then £4.00 thereafter.

I have no complaints of them, and you often find replies to support
queries throughout the night, not just business hours

I just wish I had an ADSL router that prioritised VoIP traffic, like
the draytek!

Robin

PS I don't work for gradwell, I'm just a user of their VoIP centrex
service.
