If you use OneTel, you can make free calls anywhere in the UK for a fixed monthly rate (excluding 0[789] numbers, of course). There are various other flat-monthly-rate providers too. I haven't found any of them that will provide SIP/IAX access - perhaps a VoIP service provider could cut a reseller deal with one of these providers and sell the talk time on the same basis - perhaps with call volume thresholds for business users. -- _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ _/ K e v i n W a l s h _/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/_/[EMAIL PROTECTED] _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/ ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

There's a 1p connection fee on 18866. So 1899 is cheaper for geographic calls longer than four minutes, and 18866 is cheaper on everything else. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

The comment on VoIPTalk's calling rates is interesting as I came to a different conclusion. To instance the two main destinations I call, the UK and Spain, as an example, the rates are 1.6p and 2p per minute respectively. This appears to me to be very competitive with other offerings.

I've had good experience with their support on the phone too. They know what they are talking about. P.s. Is this the correct way to reply to a thread?
