Just noticed today, when ringing a landline number the calls from my
Voipcheap service are now being charged at 1p/min, the call rates on the voipcheap website have also been ammended to show the new call rates, looks like the 120 day limit on the credit has gone now as well as the free calls. oh well that was good while it lasted i suppose. |

I wouldn't have noticed until my credit was gone. I see voipdiscount is still free to landlines. Probably for not much longer I guess. |

It's still free on voipcheap.com. I am with voipstunt and I love it. Let's hope Betamax is not going to close the "net" they have been building so far. |

They didn't change the main page but click the "Check all > other rates here" for a nasty surprise.[/color] When I used voipstunt the first time, the softphone showed me the call was charged @1p/min but the final bill showed free. Betamax is the best provider for me. Vonage seems to forget that we, the active customers, are also their "assets". |

On the voipstunt rates page the UK is now at 1cent/min, though the home page box still shows UK as FREE. However, I just made a test call and it hasn't been charged. 2006-08-30 16:02:02 +441223XXXXXX 00:00:21 FREE! Maybe they're in the process of updating everything and they've only done the rates pages so far? |

Look at the footnote on the rates 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). -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |
