well yes, but ....... although it says 120 days on the front of VB, it
does also mention except where otherwise shown; on the sms top-up page
it says 60 days, but many people would hardly notice ...[color=blue]

If you have a Voipbuster account, take a browse in their forum ...

As you guess, the callthrough is very similar to other Finarea ones
like 18185, even the access number 02081802727 (18185 is ...2828). You
need to enter caller ID of phones you want to use in the account user
profile.

Until now I'd rung a couple of times and dialled but not connected.
Wondering if there is a 5c connect fee or not, I just called the home
landline (no 0044 but it worked)

The Java client relies on a recent version which isn't in my phones.
" - you need JAVA (CLDC 1.1 / MIDP 2.0) most newer phones support this

When talking about panel, I meant the free trial area of the various
index pages
