It isn't always about price, sometimes it's about convenience. I can take
a VoIP phone or ATA anywhere in the world and have my UK numbers available
just as if I were at home. As long as I have an available Ethernet
connection of course..!

3p per call at all times is not as good as 2p per call weekday peak,
free all other times.

voip gives additional lines, call forwarding and multiple
destinations, and lots of other advantages.

Because i cant use 1899s low rates, as BT have still not taken me off LUS.

Because i can make more than one call at a time, and leave landline free
for incoming calls.

you can also go for just Evening & weekend call package at
£2.99 per month fopr non bt customers £2 for bt users

If you are a option 4 customer for BT you get evening and weekends free.
Plus they send you a free router which comes locked to BT but can be
easily unlocked.
