I can recommend AAISP at £2.40 per month plus call charges.

Silly question, why go with AAISP when Sipgate has no monthly fee?

I'm only paying £1.20 a month. Price depends on the number you choose or migrate of course.

sipgate was a good choice, I've been using them for years

A few months ago I went with Voipfone, partly based on my son's suggestion (though he's with Sipgate now), but mostly because they would supply a pre-configured ATA box. I had no previous experience of VoIP, and when I looked at all the SIP parameters I got cold feet about setting them all up on my own (my son doesn't live locally). With hindsight I realise that almost all of them are defaults, and I'd be a bit more gung ho now.

I've had a couple of issues, but Voipfone support has been excellent. If you don't have any of the optional extras, there's no monthly charge.

Like others I can recommend sipgate basic. I pay nothing for it unless I decide to make a call. I run it on my mobile using zoiper Pro (£1.09 per month) so my landline goes everywhere with me. The bonus with this setup is push notifications work, so zoiper goes to sleep until I receive a call and goes back to sleep after, so it's not a battery killer. I can also connect a few different handsets at the same time though there's no 'intercom' facility between them. This is the way it should be with voip(sip) numbers.

I worry when everything is free, does the provider have the ability to handle the "big bad" when it occurs?? This happened recently to Voipfone and others.

As far as I am concerned Voipfone handled the incidents with professionalism and swiftly but their PR updates were poor. The failover provision meant that no inbound calls were lost. The same level of service was provided whether you were a customer who paid no fees or took some of the many options that are available for a monthly fee.

Every hosted VoIP provider will have an unexpected outage at some time or other.

So what are you trying to say here by drawing readers attention to an event that took place some time ago?

I am surprised you are still extremely touchy about this event, I recall you lashing out at another well meaning contributor at the time.
