Which site? I just checked voipbuster, voipdiscount, voipstunt,
freecall and internetcalls - they ALL have the 300 minutes notice on

says free on the start page, the rates page states 1cent/min for the UK
on all but voipdiscount. Bit sneaky imho.

I still like the look of the voipfone service, admittedly you need to
pay for the calls but their Ts and Cs appear to be more reliable than
