Ron, you change email addresses more often than my dog lifts his leg
against a tree.

He's making progress though, at least he included the word Sipgate in a
message without going off on one.

Yes, but that's offset by the free Skype on Three using a Three Skype
compatible phone.

To use Sipgate on a mobile phone you would have to load a suitable app
set it up and and pay for the data used

A Three Skype compatible phone is a lot less messing around

What a good idea, Skype though SIPtoSIS and using a cheap voip like
smslisto,
although Smartvoip.com now looks the cheapest for UK calls
