Hi all and happy new year.

Just a quick message: I have been using voIPstunt since last April and how can I not be happy with it? It works and is virtually free. The big bonus came when I went home (Rome) for Christmas and I had the calls on their number redirected on my landline in Rome, so people here where phoning a UK number and the call was redirected to Rome for FREE!!! How can one complain?

Said that, the lack of costumer service would leave me a bit nervous if I didn't have a back up system, this is why when I move house I will be moving to voIPfone since they seem to offer some sort of assistance and allow me to take my old BT number with me. When that happens I will have to use voipstunt to phone out and voipfone for incoming calls. Connecting the various syspems together should allow me to do it "easily".

One more thing: I got (free of charge) a number from messagenet.it with a Rome dialling code. I should be able to route that to voIPstunt and from there onto my phone, so that relaiteves and friend can phone me for the price of a local call. For now I use the computer. My mother thinks it is black magic....:)

Big question: why has BT not gone bankrupt yet? But this is a question for another forum.
