By the way firstly I'd like to thank you all for the help and advice and
I am now as confused as ever :). But I have also signed up for 1899 just
to try that out too.

I'm not suggesting that voip is ripping anyone off their service is
genuinely cheap however it's not quite the service i had in mind for our
usages if I loose my credit (credit not money for the nitpickers) after
120 days. Skypes service with regards their billing and credit, on that
front is better for my usages even though it's more expensive in the
first place.
