Easy to setup and great call quality. I call my sister in Dubai quite often and have been pleased with the call quality so far. Free incoming and free did also make this a great option for some. 1.9 cents a minute outgoing calls are reasonably priced. They do not have a local number currently for my location but with google voice and being able to set my own outgoing number everything works great. I'm pleased with the service and would recommend it to others.

We have been using the US version of Sipgate as our landline replacement for about 8 months. Reliability has been excellent with no known outages. Our monthly bill including 911 service fees is around $5.00/month. Mini-PBX features a big plus for a SOHO. Website interface is very well designed. Highly recommended.

This is a fairly comprehensive residencial pay as you go VoIP that
has some good features in the basic package. You need to buy / bring
your own device or soft phone, although they will sell you a variety
of preconfigured units.
Points for:
- Sipgate uses a variety of narrow and boradband codecs, including
iLBC. This is by far the best codec for someone with a poor quality
(high packet loss) internet connection.
- You get voice mail (with a message waiting indicator service,
should your ATA support this) for free. You can set your own
greeting message, even on the basic package;
- You get a REAL UK phone number in a local exchange of your choice.
Incoming calls at $0/min!
- No set up or monthly fee - ie all of the above is free
- Payments via ccard or paypal. Straightforward.
- They will send you an invoice for payments made, making it more
attarctive for business use.
- Tech support good (fast, effective)
- The webpage has a nice feature whereby you can see a call you made
sometime back and clicking on that call cause your SIP phone to ring,
and then (when that is picked up) the called number to ring. With
care, you can use this as a cheap callback service - especially
useful when the SIP phone is in a country that would be an expesive
destination to call and you are in the UK / US.
Points against:
- You need to be in the UK in order to sign up, or use a proxy to
fool their system that you are in the UK. However having signed up
you can then take the service anywhere in the world.
- The outgoing rates are not that competitive, but this should be
offset against the free incomimg and free UK number. ie it is fine
for low outgoing useage. If you need lots of outgoing minutes / mth
much better outbound deals can be found elsewhere.
