Hmmm, I've just found they've slightly altered the layout recently -
I'm looking at Justvoip and Voipbuster, but they will probably be
similar
The invoice page used to have space for just 2 numbers (nominally
landline and mobile, but it didn't matter), but now has five. I
haven't entered any numbers since this change, but before you could
add a number then overwrite another in each box and the old one would
not actually be removed off the account, so I gradually had about 5
phones I could use with one account
(the non-removal is why I advised people to be careful about
temporaily adding friends as a trial)
the access numbers used to be all different per brand, so a phone
could be listed in more than one, and you'd choose the number for the
brand you wanted
but having them common across brands started to happen from about Jan
to March this year (using the older differing numbers no longer helps)
now, if your phone is listed in both accounts, the call will go on one
as a default - you have no choice in the matter - and when I've done
it it would choose Voipbuster, which has higher tariffs for mobiles
than JV or Voipcheap ( I mostly made test calls and just listened to
the tariff announcement and then hung up, though let a couple connect)
so best would be for you to register your mobile in only one account.
but you can change things and remove your number from an account
if you reckon that the best tariffs for your favourite destinations
are spread across both brands, this will be a bit boring - you might
have to consider whether it'd worth messing about changing all the
time or just use only one account ( I notice that poivy has cut
tariffs recently, but who knows how long this will last)
as I say, in the past altering the numbers on the invoice page details
would not remove them, but they would be removed by going to the user
profile, and deleting numbers out of the boxes (you can also scroll
the number description back to blank)
it may be that with 5 boxes now on the invoice page, things will have
changed slightly, and I'll experiment with this a bit in the next day
or two
I hope I haven't waffled on too much with evolutionary details that
aren't necessarily needed, but might help if any confusion arises from
other people's comments derived from at differnt times
