Recommend an independent VOIP supplier

Been looking at EE fibre because they seem the easiest to setup the phone with their wifi extension phone port for digital voice which would suit me for a base station upstairs and a base station downstairs plugged into the EE router.

But many people have suggested using an Independent VOIP provider and just getting data only fibre when the time comes. I would have to use a VRI faceplate and possibly an ATA going this route to use my extensions.

Can anyone advise a good independent VOIP provider that will be simple to set up?

Cheers!

I may have asked this before but if I port my PSTN number under TTB will it cease the TTB service?

Happy with Voipfone. With all of them, I think you need to be clear about your usage in terms of minutes and destinations [ie countries], because the available tariffs are part of the calculation

There wont be any countries involved purely GB and local calls. I will look up Voipfone. Which plan did you go for?

It depends on your needs.

A&A provide a simple and reliable VoIP service £1.44 per month to rent the service, £12 one off charge to port a number to them.

Voipfone have residential plans starting at £6 per month inc VAT for 100 mins to UK landlines and mobiles. They do not charge to port in a number according to their website

Yes, porting a number that is used to identify a broadband service will cease the entire service. Some providers might offer "renumber and export" but very very few.

I have been using VoIPify for many years with absolutely no problems. https://www.voipify.net/

A small UK based (Sheffield) company - and when I was first looking, I emailed sales one evening and they responded quickly, similarly when I had a billing payment issue (partially my fault) they were they late evening to answer a query.

Voipfone porting in is free these days. It's horses for courses with them; the residential service is not always the right fit for a private user especially if you like the idea of being able to receive incoming calls simultaneously on both your DV phone and the soft app on your mobile.

If you can live within the constraints of the residential service, it offers great value for money and a really simple portal for access to subscribed facilities.
