I just came across this service and I must be missing something...
they'll give you a free LOCAL pstn number, that anyone using a regular PSTN phone can you from, and it will ring on your voicestick SIP equipment, all for free! They do have some paid services such as call forwarding, which Im guessing means if the voicestick SIP equipment you are trying to reach, doesnt answer or isnt on, it will automatically route it to a PSTN phone. Anyone have any experience with them? |

As you failed to provide a URL you must be new to this. Have a nice day. |

Anyway, assuming the OP had good intentions, and to add to Graham's comments, the OP could look at <http://www.voiptalk.org/reallyvoip> or <https://www.voiptalk.org/products/really_useful_signup.php> - free geo number and, at least when I signed up, a £2 call credit included. |

I understand what you are saying Ivor and often you would be right in your thoughts about such posts - but that doesn't make them all suspicious / illegitimate. Best wishes, News Reader |

If someone *asks* what would be a good service/system or whatever, then by all means reply, but I don't see that there is a need to post just to say "I think this is brilliant" - even if you think it's helping people, it could be regarded as advertising/spamming, rightly or wrongly. That's not to say that there are never times when something is worth shouting from the rooftops about, but IMHO it's rare.
