I have a number with OrbTalk too, and their sister service VoIP Talk,
both have the same number range as my Sipgate number, trouble is I've
had Sipgate for quite sometime now and it's my main incoming number,
that everyone knows, only a few know my other numbers, and I have an
excellent number with Sipgate, as at the time I was able to choose it,
my OrbTalk and VoIPTalk numbers aren't great numbers.
