Not true.

Also, you could have made another assumption - than 8 quid a month is
much more than I pay in calls & rental charges to a not insignificant

with more flexibility, for a lower cost than Vonage's package would
provide.

I do take your point though, and admit to being a little flippant when
I said it ;-)
