Now looking at VoIP again.

A lot of noise is made by various VoIP providers about their charges to
international destinations but I rarely see any mention of the price of UK
land-line/mobile calls and/or 087/084 numbers.

Or maybe I'm just stupid and can't find said info?!

Help and comments appreciated.

My provider of choice, smartvoip.com charge-

uk landlines: free, or 0.8p/min if you run out of "freedays"
uk mobile: 4.2p/min
0844: 0.79p/min
0844 3.3p/min
0871: 15.2p/min
National Rate: 4.2p/min
Personal: 4.2p/min

http://www.smartvoip.com/en/calling-rates.html


I am not entirely sure what "National Rate" and "Personal" covers, some NG codes may not be carried at all.
Also be aware that "free" codes like 0800 *are* charged for regardless of "freedays", 0.8p/min IIRC

Had a look on their site but can't seem to find how many 'freedays'
you get per recharge. Is it 60 days, the same as SMSListo?

The nice thing about Betamax is the symmetry of their web-sites

90 days smartvoip
http://www.smartvoip.com/en/free.html


120 days smslisto
http://www.smslisto.com/en/free.html

Unfortunately, that doesn't always work:
http://www.rynga.com/en/free.html

(okay, on their front page they say it's 120 days, but no mention of how
many minutes a week you get.)

I am not convinced there is a rolling weekly limit like the others.
There is however a 5 cent connection charge an all chargable calls (faq page)

Just looked at http://www.rynga.com/en/faq.html and the only reference
to a 5 cent fee is for phone-to-phone calls. Am I missing something?
Though, I'll soon find out as today is the last of my freedays...

I've tried to stick to 300mins/week, once I went over by 20 minutes but
wasn't charged. For the number of calls I was able to make for EUR10 I
really can't complain

Thanks Graham,

The SMSListo page is wrong. I use them and they only provide 90
freedays. They reduced it quite a few months ago.

And now I know. I have NOT been charged the 5 cent fee, just the 1c/min
rate to my destination. I can't complain
