I think it depends on the payment method.. I seem to remember that
paying by mobile (SMS?) gives you a shorter "free days" than credit
card.. I usually pay with credit card; 10euro (+vat?) gives me 120 days
of "free calls".. After the 120 days the credit will remain on the
account, and you will need to purchase another (say) 10euro for another
120 days. If you purchase more credit before it has expired it will
simply ADD the "free days" on top of what you already have.

Hope this helps.

What is the reason for not using voipdiscount for incoming calls? Is it
because
they do not offer geographic numbers? I could not find any info on the
numbers
on their website. Is it not confusing for your contacts if they cannot (?)
call you
back on the number from which you made a call?

Thanks

The reason for you would be that voipdiscount no longer gives out
incoming numbers.. Personally I use my voipdiscount number to forward
around in europe so I can call for free from my mobile, and I got a
voip.co.uk number for incoming calls.

I havent heard anybody complain about not being able to call me back on
the number I call from... And I think most people have your name
programmed on their phone anyway, so will call in on the incoming line.
It wont show a number anyway if you call from voipdiscount and havent
got an incoming number.

It is rather odd service now, i.e. without incoming numbers. I did not
quite understand relationship between forwarding calls around europe
using voipdiscount and calling for free from your mobile but, as I cannot
do anything similar now, then it would not help anyway.

If it does not show number then yes, no confusion can happen.
I had problems when calling from a secondary mobile because
some people seeing the number called back on that number rather
than calling my primary mobile.
