What do you get with 82412345?

It is some time since I used VoIPtalk but doing a quick test a few
minutes ago connected me with a 0800 number. As for the peering, try
**xxx. That worked for me; it shouldn't (I have read the website) so it
could be something in my dial plan.

I suspect you are wrong. Credit on your card is needed to connect with
the PSTN but VoIPtalk do not place any restriction on incoming or
outgoing SIP to SIP calls.
