I have found that it is really hard to beat the dial through PSTN
numbers - I re did last months bill using one of the VOIP outfits that
give a lot of free calls and the difference was less than a quid. We
call India a lot and I can do that for 3p/min at the moment. However,
and it is a big however, what it does give you is the ability to have
more than one conversation at once. So the wife can be chatting to her
sister whilst I make business calls. Or those times when you dare not
use the phone because you are waiting for an incoming one.

This month I switched from a PSTN + ATA setup to a Siemens S450IP - So
I can handle VOIP and PSTN from the same handsets and it is the
convenience rather than the cost savings that swing it for us.
