'tis a pity but I am just contemplating doing just what you have done
for exactly the same reason.

I currently use voip.co.uk - but will happily consider a move to
voipcheap -but - can I port my number to the latter?

Not unless voipcheap have a porting agreement with Gamma Telecom
(coip.co.uk's provider) - if not, you'll have to port to BT and then in
to voipcheap but there may be a lock-in period with BT - the whole
porting business is a right mess.

Coms bought callunion.

To do a subsequent port to voipcheap, they would still need a porting
arrangement with the range holder, so you may as well port directly
rather than trying to go via BT.

I have used voiptalk.co.uk (a Telappliant company) for a while now. They
did an offer of free inbound numbers a while back. They seem quite reliable
and the quality is OK, although it is mainly inbound I use - with the free
calls on voipcheap.com I use them more for outbound.
