VOIP Providers for home

Does anyone have any recommended VOIP providers for residential use? So far I have only found Vonageforhome which looks OK but I havent anything to compare it to as many are geared for business use. I would be looking to port my existing number over to them.
Any recommendations would be welcome and if anyone has any experience of Vonageforhome, I would welcome their feedback also.

Have you looked at other threads in this part of the forum, there are a lot of similar queries to yours.

Also this thread from nearly a year ago in the Fibre Broadband forum should give you some ideas. VOIP Providers

Edit Vonage are not recommended as they do not provide the full Voip registration information so you have to use their ( expensive ?) hardware.

Have a look at the likes of AAISP, Sipgate etc.

My personal preference is https://www.voipify.net/

Yes there is a monthly fee, but they are UK located, small, personal service, good support and for te hnumbers I use very good value.

If you're looking for 'casual' VoIP provision (like for instance to carry on with a landline number after FTTP conversion, to catch the three or four (genuine) calls a year you might still get, there's Sipgate Basic, (PAYG, no monthly sub)

https://www.sipgatebasic.co.uk/

...or you could have two landline numbers on the one account/sub, perhaps a calling bundle/package and spend 23 out of 24 hours on the phone with several simultaneous calls.

Not just for light duty use (although fine for that too) but its a perfectly robust service, won't crumble or break.

Thanks everyone for your responses. It seems Sipgate are highly regarded so will go with them. I've begun the process of ditching Virgin in favour for Toob (that sounds wrong in so many ways!) TV subscription gone just broadband and phone line left. Toob being connected next week so will port the number over to Sipgate and get rid of the broadband once the number has been ported. Feels great having independent services and more moderately priced alternatives available at long last.

Toob are digging up my town, but I'm at the wrong end of town so far. Hopefully I can also ditch VM for Toob in the next 2 years.

Don't worry, society is increasingly accepting of such matters.

At the bottom end of the market are localphone.com and if your search for
