Interesting: you're saying that the VoIP service would neither send nor
receive calls (SIP?) yet the internet connection continued to work fine.

Have you power cycled your phone?

As of today, instead of just timing out, I get a message 'Please obtain
credit...', even for 0800 number !
They did say free calls to zone 1 will continue "well in to 2005", I never
got an email from them announcing the change
and their softphone doesn't work (I use X-lite), so I am not impressed.

So, now you can pay 1p / min for zone 1 calls, or pay £5 p / month and get
1000 min *FREE*, which is not a bad price,
but I don't need even 500 min's so I won't subscribe.
I will stick with sipgate, slightly more expensive - 1.12p / min, but with a
free geographical number.

Martin
