Hi Chris. Most of my calls are national calls during the day.
Voipfone charge 1p per minute for this with no minimum charge anywhere
in the UK at any time, pay as you go. BT charge 5p immediately even
if you speak to someone for 30 seconds (which I often do). All this
adds up.

That's way more than I pay for my landline calls. (Finarea: flat rate
6p/call UK-wide, not a lot per minute for mobiles, common international
destinations not more than 1p/min.)

Dave Angel was talking about BT rates in his post - I was merely pointing
out they were even worse than what he'd said.

I've before now tried to sign up with the Finarea 18xxx services and each
time the registration failed, so I gave up. VoipCheap, however, works
like a charm and unlike the 18xxx there's no connection charge.
