One thing that has confused me is what the call charges are.

If I call another VOIP number, any VOIP number, is it free?

If I have to pay for that call (to another VOIP number) how can it be
cheaper than a normal landline call made via, for example, Primus?

I appreciate calls to a fixed landline will cost, but they don't seem
cheaper than calls to, for example, Cyprus that I make using 18185.
Gradwell fees to there are circa 10p per minute, whereas with 18185 they
are 1p per minute.

I'm probably missing something, but VOIP might be the new kid on the
block, I just can't see (yet) how it is a cheaper alternative to POTS.
