Thanks for all the responses, most informative and interesting.
I'll probably go with A&A when the time comes as it didn't get used an awful lot and (at the time of writing) £1.20 per month to host a number is better than £7.
i use sipgate as I said, costs nothing unless I use it.

Yes, I'd rather pay a modest monthly charge and hope that means my phone nbr is less likely to be lost somehow.

i think there are enough people using sipgate to keep it going. I have a tenner on it and that tenner have been there for a couple of years, I really don't use it that much. To be honest, the only reason I still have it is that I give my work the number as I don't want them to have my mobile number and my brother phone me on it for some reason

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

I did a quick test with sipgate too but found the CLI a little hit and miss at the time I tested it and a traceroute went out to Germany (I back my PC up to a service in the US so location doesn't bother me) but I'll stick with a company whose infrastructure is in the UK for this purpose I think.

Me too, also, self service and backend automation is great but sometimes you need to consult someone who knows how to recify problems when the automation breaks.
Full disclosure: I've worked for nearly 20 years in Software Support/Service Desk roles so that may colour my view on this somewhat
