VoIP Cheap Numbers

Just heard you can get a geographical number for voipcheap so logged in to
get one but it says something like "There are no numbers available for your
account". My account is in positive balance too. Anyone else had this
problem?

Just signed up after seeing the other thread, (thanks Welcome), put £5
credit on the account, and got my free 'local' number in about 2 minutes
from registering.

Yes. I got round it by changing my address to an address in Birmingham
and got an 0121 number.

Thanks I managed to get one by changing the address. Didn't give me a
geographical though. It gave me an 056 number.

At least calling in wise they are treated the same as 01 or 02 numbers.

05 numbers are less well known as well and more likely to be considered
"premium rate", I'd rather give someone an 01 number.

YAC don't seem to think so either. I have a YAC 0870 number that I have
tried to divert to this new 056 number and it will not allow it. I have
contacted YAC to tell them it's a standard rate number. I will have to wait
to see what they say.
