localphone.com as terrible as they say?

I was thinking of trying voip services as 18185 is getting more expensive and not all providers support it now.

However I found localphone.com who seemed quite cheap and reasonably regarded, more so than the betamax clones. But now when I look at reviews they are really terrible.

I don't know if the company has just imploded or if I am missing something. Are people using them in the Uk much and how is your experiences?

Otherwise I can see all the betamax clones who people say are flaky, a bunch like sipgate who are said to be ok but are just not all that cheap and someone called aloha connect from wales who talk a good show but I can't find any mention of them in practice so don't know if they are really a teenager in his bedroom or a serious option.

thanks
