Don't forget you're competing with the likes of Sipgate, who will give
anyone a UK geographic number for free. Obviously, free is a lot
cheaper than a fiver, even if a fiver is a pretty nominal fee.

Yes, a fiver is a small amount of money nowadays. But one can get a
free number from other providers, or deposit [say] a tenner of credit
with a provider, and spend that credit on calls.

How does getting a number from a provider tie you into them? I've got a
Sipgate number I use for inbound calls [because I've had it for 18
months, and it's vaguely memorable], and I've got a voip.co.uk account
I use for outbound calls because they're cheap. I can have many free
accounts from many providers, and I won't ever be tied in to any of
them. I guess I'm just not seeing the unique selling point of your
offering. Perhaps there isn't one?
