well......

Thanks and regards,

But there are problems routing to a Sipgate account as they have blocked
access from most other networks. IPKall was supposed to have been
unblocked but it doesn't seem to have happened. From what I can gather the
problem is currently at IPKall's end, but I know no more at this stage.

Jono is right, you can get a US number from Gradwell.com for an additional
£1 per month; so if you took a number with their SIP forwarding, it would be
£3 + £1 + VAT per month for the US number; this could then forward to your
SIPGATE account. According to

Gradwell.com have a cross-calling agreement with SIPGATE, so there shouldn't
be any problems forwarding to it.

Another way is to use Voxalot, register the account that receives the
US calls - then either use Voxalot directly ( I think that is the best
way) or forward to your sipgate sip address.
Remove 'no_spam_' from email address.

If you have a static IP address (or a reasonably static one and you have
something like DynDNS configured), you can set the SIP Proxy to be the
IP address (or hostname) and the port of your phone (i.e.
95.34.55.25:5600), along with your SIP Phone Number (although I'm not
sure if this is required any more).

I've been using one from a phone configured for Sipgate without problems
(the phone still handles Call Waiting, etc.).

I've also just discovered [url]www.freedigits.com[/url] / [url]http://www.sipnumber.com/[/url]
(both seem to be from the same place); I've just signed up for a free
account with freedigits.com, which is credited with $1.80; You get allocated
a number in Iowa, FOC for incoming calls; you can also make 1-800/1-877
calls without charge.

NB Note the T&C's that state any unused credit will transfer to
freedigits.com after 180days from the date credited, so don't put too much
credit on the account, unless you're going to use it all up.

There are instructions on their website for connecting up your asterisk
server, or for forwarding to another SIP account through their web-gui.

Hi Steve
[url]www.draytel.org[/url] give you both a UK & US number once you buy £20 of credit.
There is no line rental and calls to UK landlines £0.01 per 5mins at
weekend.

The website links through to IPKal.
Having said that, Draytel looks like a good service provider
