that's what I thought. I have nothing to loose. even if we forget to
dial the 1899 it's still no loss. For the moment at least I don't feel
ready to do the total drop the telco switch to cable and sign up with
voip. One day when I find the right service and when voip is well
established then that will be the route I will go down (as I hate paying
all that line charge) but for now with skype voipstunt and 1899 will
save enough money for the mo. Hopefully If I just pay BT the line charge
for now and then eventually I'll drop them altogether.
