Yup, Voipcheap.co.uk are charging now. So who else is left giving free
calls? And for how long??

I was going to switch to the .COM version when my credit expired anyway.
UK mobiles are cheaper on voipcheap.com, but who's to say they wont
charge 1p/min for UK landlines soon too?

Who else? The Voipdiscount rates pages have UK landlines as free today,
whereas all the other Betamax companies don't.

How long for? Free today doesn't mean it'll be free tomorrow though.
Anyone's guess.

Voipcheap.com - Price list does show that they charge 1Euro for UK
landline calls however, i haven't been charged. Incidentally they did
charge me a 0.6 Euro 'connection charge' for an 0800 number.

Not free according to this: [url]http://www.sipdiscount.com/en/rates.html[/url]

Also says the following on their main page:
Max 300 minutes per week of free calls, measured over the last 7 days.
Unused free minutes cannot be taken to the following week(s). If limit is
exceeded, a minimal rate will be charged (as advertised on our rates page)

Yes, the price changes do seem to have been a bit hasty. Perhaps
they've just received a few bills they can't pay. :)

Betamax does have a history of changing prices on the hoof, though. :(

I've just had another look voipcheap.co.uk today and some destinations
are free to call again. Oddly, calls to UK geographic numbers
(beginning 01 and 02) are still 1p/min. :(

It's odd, because whilst the rates pages on many of the Betamax sites
showed (next to) no free countries, my calls through Voipstunt didn't
get charged. Maybe there was some "glitch"
