ansered that one myself but fo ny reders benefit

With your free soft phone, you can accept up to 3 calls simultaneously. With
VoIP adapters for ordinary telephones and the new SIP telephones, you can
have as many incoming calls as they have buttons - the snom 300, for
example, has 4 and the snom 360 has 12.

As a new call arrives when you are already on a call you will hear a beep
and the line light on your phone will flash. If you click the light you put
your first call on hold and answer the second. If a third call comes in, you
click on its light and the other two calls are put on hold. While on hold we
play them some music.
You toggle between calls by clicking on the lights.

Of course, combined with the use of telephone extensions on our Virtual PBX,
this becomes an extremely powerful and cost effective business tool.

Zen's own voip offering which is 5.00 a month is crap in comparison
with voipfone who only charge 2.00 for a local geographical number.
Voipfone have a service where you can call a London number on
your mobile then hang up they call you back and you can then dial any
number you wish and only get charged for the call to your mobile plus
the cost of whatever call you make .
The cost per call usually works out about 10 p a minute instead of
maybe 30p or 40 p a minute on mobile unless you have free minutes.

Ok i REALLY like the viopfone website , its helped me lot
as its easy to navigte and read
iTs got loeads of features and im no expert but its not the cheapest
but its not expensive

They made a big mistake though , they gave me 5 mins of free
calltime which i used and the service was CRAP , i mean dismal
...almost impossible to hold any type of conversation , and i tried 4
different
people ...i am hoping its just them having bad day as i like just about
everything else about them.shame cause Skype and Sipgate quality is
outstanding

And if you get hold of X-Pro, you can have six and do conference calls.

There was a time when voip.co.uk were cheaper than Sipgate, and
voip.co.uk is more powerful and configurable, but it isn't well
explained on their website.

However, with sipgate you seem to have to faff about putting in stun
servers, which voip.co.uk seems fine without.

Hmm. Never experienced anything of the sort, myself, with VF........

Had you not said that you'd got Sipgate working, I would have
immediately blamed your setup rather than VF.....however, this is still
likely to be the case.

I have held an account with Voipfone for over two years since I left
poxy Sipgate in fact and one thing I cannot say about them is that
they are CRAP far from it in fact ,you sure you haven't got your
thinking mixed up with that SIPGATE CRAP that you reckon you have ? .

Do you? I tried voipfone.co.uk and never managed to figure out a DTMF
setting that works for all the various conference call I have to join, and
still be able to use their voicemail. On top of that, if I am just
listenning (i.e. my phone is on mute), I get cut off after 5 min. I have a
ticket with them for about 1 year now....

Oh, and I am using a SNOM300. So I am back to voip.co.uk for now... although
[url]www.tescointernetphone.com[/url] seems like a more residential user friendly
option (if that works that is).
