Can anyone recommend a VOIP calls provider that does 0871 at the standard BT
rates? For example, 0871 772 is a '7p/min' number, but Sipgate will charge
a blanket 10p/min and Gradwell 12p/min. Often Betamax and friends don't
bother at all.

Would be good if it could do 09 too (eg 0911 922 is 13p/min at BT).

I'm looking for a 'BT replacement' provider, so ability to call the full
range of numbers is useful.

Thanks
Theo

I don't think there is one apart from saynoto0870 which for most all
of the time comes up with the right numbers, sometimes freefone ones..

We've ported our main number to VoIPfone and since then call quality
excellent and cost a lot lower, divert to any number if main link falls
over etc and very good customer service...

Hello Experts

I am also stuck with Bt. How to get out and get better deals financially?

TIA

Thanks R. Mark.

I have my SIP aliases -------- @iptel.org, etc.

Would that help to get away from Bt?

Not much. You need at least one inbound (DID) number, one or more outbound
routes for calls, and something to operate them (eg a physical ATA and
phone, or a softphone [perhaps on a mobile]).

Only it turns out to be tricky to find sensibly-priced routes for all the
things you can route from BT. For example if you really do have to call
Cheap'n'NastyTat'R'us' customer services one day on their 09... number. Or
some family member decides they really must vote for contestants on
X-Factor. Or whatever. Which is where we came in.

If your broadband is delivered by xDSL you are stuck with paying line
rental to BT or an alternative LLU voice provider, even you never use
the line to make a chargeable call.
That is my situation here.

Hi,


Sorry not to be more helpful.

Their are a number of VoIP providers who have (honoured) the full OFCOM ( /
BT ) pricing, banding, agreements or allocations.

Some are wholesale terminators. Their are also a number (of), several,
retail ITSPs both UK and international, who provide full discretely or
separately priced number range[s] (access / or dialling [, etc.])
(including a significant proportion at or below BT [ / OFCOM defined {,
default} ] prices).

If you are enthusiastic I will deliver a list of some, some examples -
providers.


Best wishes,

Yes, it would.

For that very reason I moved my line rental to Primus Line Rental Saver
just over a year ago - £6.79/month. All my calls are made over VoIP or
mobile. I don't use Primus's broadband - Demon works nicely for me.
