I just tried it on my AVM Fritz!Box, the test username works fine for the
1 minute test calls. I might just sign up for this, although there doesn't
seem to be a way of receiving calls, it appears to be outgoing only,
unless someone can confirm otherwise..?

I can get the test account to work, have created my own account (no credit
added yet) but although I can log into the website with my details, it won't
log into their service to make calls.

The only software you download with www.sipdiscount.com is the registration
program, that worked fine, however when you add the deatails to whatever you
use to make calls it doesn't recognise the username / password, yet works fine
with the "test" "test" setup.
Why on earth should you have to download a program in order to register?
and why does there have to be an attachment with their email?
From their FAQ
"I have received an electronic receipt by email which causes a virus warning."
"If you have provided your email address you will receive an electronic receipt
by email. Your virus scanner settings may be so strict it will consider most
emails with an attachment as a potential virus, this is however not the case and
you may have to lower your security settings to view your receipt."

It is just an innocuous HTML e-mail - no attachment as such. I think
you have got the wrong settings on your e-mail client.

I've just registered and it works perfectly (ATA registers to servers with
my username and password), although I haven't made any calls over 1minute as
I've not added credit to my account yet.
The website says you can have 'free' calls with other sipdiscount members,
but I agree Ivor, there seems to be no way of knowing your number that your
contactable on, as my username is alphabetic, so no incoming calls!

It is now working, for some reason it took a an hour or two for the account to
become live.

I can't get past the registration stage. The downloadable program keeps
saying "unknown error, try later" so I gave up in the end. The test
settings work for calls of less than 1 minute, which covers most of my
use, so it will be interesting to see how long that facility lasts..!
