Plexatalk is a new company that charges £4 per month for 100 minutes domestic call time, OK for a trial, while £6 for 250 minutes would be more realistic Zadarma supply virtual numbers, but few details, possibly ideal for spammers A&A are a known reliable company, Communityfibre.co.uk supply FTTP to my sister, and will only supply a pre- configured Grandstream VOIP to analogue converter with their phone service. BT companies insist that their modem is used as a converter. -- Chris Bell www.chrisbell.org.uk -- GLLUG mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/gllug
