Am I right in thinking that VoipCheap is IAX only though?

That is the reason why the majority of people on this group favour the
use of an unlocked ATA working with more than one provider. That is
the freedom you get compared to those who are locked into one system.
For those who find their particular ATA too limiting in this respect
there is Voxalot.

No. VC is SIP.

The post you quoted mentions JustVoip at 4p [5c + vat] at the moment,
though it is only two weeks old, so your remark would apply here as
well.

JV doesn't support using SIP for outgoing calls though, but some DIDs
(US but not a UK one) can be pointed at it

I should correct myself: a UK DID now works to JV, after some failed
attempts the other day

No, it's offered SIP for almost as long as it's been going, with the
newer named services offering it from day one, I use the betamax
services from a PAP2 ATA.

I've got a VoIPDiscount account that I actively use. I got it a long time
ago (when they first opened shop) and have a 0208 incoming landline number.
Have they changed their policy for new accounts now?

Yeah, some time back. I also have an incoming number though with sister
services, VoIP Buster, VoIP Stunt, VoIPCheap and SIP Discount (0121
numbers, except VB which is 0845).

It is possible for no fee, to point an 01 or 02 number to any of the
Betamax services.

Wow, that's a lot to think about. I don't need an incoming line but I
don't like ambiguity of voipcheap.
