Just had a look at this as it looks very similar to the one I use (Voipbusterpro), may even be the same company.

So you pay £10 initially and this gets you 120 "free" days of calls - when this period is up, you have to buy more credit - do you know what the minimum amount of credit you can buy is?

Voipbusterpro works in a similar way - you pay 10 euros to start with, this gets you 365 "free" days, but then you get 5 euros credit of which they charge you a connection fee of 4 cents for each call.

Trying to work out which would be cheaper for us and it depends upon what amount of credit you have to top up with after 120 days - if it's £10, then it's probably not cheaper for our usage...

You have to buy 10 Euros to start, although you never lose this money if you don't use it. But, yes, you do only get 120 free days before you top up again. As I do call a friend in the UK who only has a cell, I do top up every now and then, but if your free days are up, and you still have cash in the account, it will start charging normal rates until you top up, effectively using up your money. The charge to the UK when this happens is 0.01 euro cents I think, which is still very cheap. I will check out your site, and compare yours....never hurts to have a back up, so thanks!!!

I just checked out Voipbusterpro, and yes, I think it's the same company with a different name. The wording is almost identical, and so are the call rates. So no need to change over eh?!

They have a number of companies that are almost identical, just slightly different pricing models... The one I used, the 10 euros lasts me just about a whole year, so it's probably not worth me switching to yours.

Did you know that you can use what they call a SIP adaptor (or a router with VOIP function) to use a normal phone with it? Saves you paying the extra for it to ring the normal phone for you....
