I agree that this was introduced to stop fraud but it is a case of
what is the 'fall out' for the ordinary honest user. They actually say
"per unique IP address" on JustVoip. An IP address is 'unique' so I
think they have chosen the wrong word here. I think they mean per
single, static IP address - and therein lies the problem. Just last
week I set up an SPA-3102 for some relations. I did consider setting
up the ATA to make calls directly but I couldn't take the risk with
someone else's set up - thus I chose to use Voxalot because I know
that it will work consistently. As, currently, they only want to make
outgoing calls there was no extra cost involved. The OP is now
experiencing what I feared might happen.
