Yes, I have petrol in my car that works like that. 🤔

Don't forget car insurance as well, that comes at a cost if you use the car or not

Yes, but my point was a gentle poke at Adrian’s post …. a bum analogy really, but hopefully the drift was caught.

Leaving the rest of us to paper over the cracks . . .

i use sipgate as I said, costs nothing unless I use it.

I always worry that companies with thousands of users earning £0 won't be there when I need them. The costs of running the infrastructure aren't £0.

That's why I went with AAISP too, then found it has a super useful feature to automatically e-mail a copy of every call to you (as both of us in the household have awful memories).

Also the support, I found the COVID-19 helpline didn't work, contacted them and it was fixed really quickly.

We both have mobiles on PAYG which inevitably run out of credit at the worst moments, so having VoIP use top-ups too was a no go. Don't want it running out of credit after you've just spent an hour waiting on hold.

A&A have the reputation of the Rolls Royce in VOIP, but at one time they refused to transfer numbers out. Sipgate have been around so long that their modus operandii works well and I have never had a problem with them, so would recommend for lolw volume users.
