None of the Betamax/Finarea companies offer incoming number any more as
far as I know..

At the moment, as you say they aren't offering an incoming number, not
sure if they will again in the future.

If you are going to use software or a ATA or VoIP phone that allows more
than one provider, then you could register with VoIPStunt for example
and then register with someone like Sipgate (who issue for free an
incoming number) and then use a program like X-Lite (non-branded
version) and then add both accounts, then use one for outgoing calls and
the other for incoming.

Sipgate doesn't expire unused credit after a certain length of time.

Yes, but you don't get the free / reduced destinations.

Yes, but the Skype out rates are one of the most expensive for VoIP,
even using your landline can get you cheaper calls.

That's the price you pay for it not expiring..! They have to make their
money somehow..!

Anyway, if your credit doesn't expire the money lasts longer. I have
credit on two of my Sipgate accounts that has been there for over 18
months.

Ivor, you not listening fast enough! The credit no longer expires, you
get the free destinations for 90/120 days - then they charge 1 euro p/m
(about) until the credit is consumed and you re-topup for the free
destinations.

How did you do that?

I have had Skype steal my money, sorry "expire my credit" twice. Of course,
I don't really miss it since using SIP but it is the principle of it that
annoys me. Like you, I have had occasion to use Skype when travelling.

Are you saying you have retained all your credit & have not used /any/
of it?

I lost a tenner to their policy of taking all credit if a chargeable
call is not made within 6 months.

I received a pleasantly worded email /after/ they'd taken my credit,
explaining what they had done.
