Sipgate VoIP
Mar 10^th, 2005 at 9:03pm

Hi - I've just signed up for 18866 and Sipgate VoIP (at uni in Cambridge and kind of 'helps' to have a Bradford number for people to get me on for various reasons).

18866 is working fine and dandy (well impressed) using the 0808 number from my NTL phone. When I dial 0808 1 701 701 from NTL and then dial my Sipgate number, it rings but when I don't dial 18866 first I get a recorded message saying that the number dialled is disconnected or no longer in service.

Any idea what may be causing this?

Sounds like you are an AOL user. AOL don't use a UK range of IP addresses so Sipgate thinks you are from outside the UK, therefore not offering you a UK geographic number.

You can get round this by either signing up whilst using another ISP, or go via a proxy server - a list available from: http://www.proxy4free.com/page1.html find a UK proxy add this into your browser (ease dependant on browser used) once you have your number you can remove proxy.

Fantastic, you're a star!!

We're actually using Plusnet for our broadband, but I'm all signed up now - signed up at a friend's house earlier; now I just need to get a cheap but decent mic. My inspiron 6000 doesn't appear to have one. Pay Dell £699 for a fairly high-end laptop which doesn't even have a mic... what is the world coming to I tells ya? Roll Eyes

You didn't have to wait. I've had a number for almost a year, without broadband, and have been hoping for them to introduce call diversion (eg to foreign mobile) but now it looks like other providers are ahead on this.

Really? which providers do this?

I can't find anything on their site about the free forwarding to a mobile I got slightly mixed up with which part of the post you were asking about.

Apologies - away for a bit

Yes, I've had the Sipgate number for that time, but I haven't seen any hint of call diversion. Other providers seem to be doing this, but I hadn't the slightest intention of suggesting it would be free.

It would be useful for it to be less than incoming roaming charges for a UK mobile, and even better under O2's ITS tariff to Europe of 17p/min.
