List of residential VOIP providers

Anyone know of a list of current residential VOIP providers (and ideally some feedback on using them) ? Otherwise who are you using and how good ?

It would probably be better to post in the VOIP forum.

I use Sipgate Basic PAYG and have had no problems with it. As it says it a Basic no frills service and may not meet your requirements. I don't use it so much now with unlimited minutes and Wi-Fi calling on my mobile.

Ditto. Sipgate Basic since 2012. Echo all your comments. No frills but good.

I also happily use sipgate basic - but only for incoming calls for the few people who don't call a mobile (mainly scammers these days). For all outgoing calls we use mobile. No ongoing payments is a great deal.

Sipgate is really good, there service works rather well been using it for to many years. The rates are good. I make calls to various nations like France, Germany, USA, Austraila etc and rates are good. Also made VoIP calls with them when I was not in the UK without an issue like Spain, USA. I remember those days ;(

One best featues is the call log on there web site. It logs all out going and in comming calls even when I have no VoIP connection to them. It a good gotcha when some says did call me and they didn't and they dont reailse I can prove it.

They also do not charge for Voicemail, that can e-mail the Voicemail on to you.

There is one issue with sipgate. Depending on your view point it, it blocks incoming (SMS) Text-Voice service. So can not use it as number for SMS authentication services.

The support fix any issues that had rather quickly once told them about an issue, just wish landline services could fix things as quickly.

They also used to have a 2 hour call time limit, so the call would drop. Not usually a problem as you just redial. Bit of a hassle on longer conference calls, but to be honest we mostly use Teams, Zoom, Skype now anyway for that.

On Sipgate basic, never make outgoing calls so never pay anything, it works well for a basic service.

Another vote for Sipgate. Been using them for years and they provide a great quality/value service.

I use Voipfone with the option of having a "landline" number which costs £3.60 a month. Call rates are 1.2ppm to 01/02/03 numbers but a stiff 9ppm to UK mobiles.

What would be the equivalent costs with Yay and Sipgate?
