Isn't it common courtesy to prefix the subject line with "ADV:" or somesuch
for explicitly commercial postings? I don't see that this post starts a
conversation that can be replied to.... damn, I just did!

I think that the above borders on spam. However, its nice to see that
you have found a Virtual Telco that you like. For a very cool option you
should look at www.voipfone.co.uk who are offering mobile callback which
means you ring a number that is "busy" (so no cost) that number
recognises your mobile number and calls you back with a dialtone then
voilla anywhere in the world on a mobile at a LOW cost....

Shame on them. How about this gem from their website:

"We are pleased to announce the launch of our new 056 number range and
also 0208 outer London Numbers as well as 0870 & 0845 numbers".

At least Voipfone could teach Sipgate one hell of a lot about keeping
a service active 24/7 and also maintaining a fully working voicemail
service .

Having just read what it says about this on their Web site, I'm not too
sure exactly what they mean:

---------- 8< ----------
The cost of calling 0208 819 81 81 is FREE because we don't answer it, we
simple identify the number you are calling from and return your call at
our advertised rate for that destination. You will be charged for both
legs of the call, in other words you will pay for the cost of the call
from our network to your mobile number as well as the cost of the call to
the person you wish to speak with.
---------- 8< ----------

A bit ambiguous in my opinion.
