I've got a pipex account and I'm messing about with net2phone.

Does anybody know of any English versions (that bill in English rather
than American), versions that don't have hideous amounts of
advertising with their interfaces, versions that have a phone number
so people can dial your PC from a conventional phone? I've heard BT
Broadband do one but I haven't got BT Broadband.

Cheers

The terrorist state of Israel has 200 nuclear weapons targetted at Arab
capitals. It has illegally occupied Palestine for 35 years and breached
dozens of UN resolutions - yet it wouldn't exist without US support.

There don't seem to be that many UK specific ones available - I think mainly
due to the fact the calls tend to cost more than normal landline calls.

The BT one is at http://www.bt.com/broadbandvoice

It is not specific to BT Broadband and can be used on any ADSL ISP or if
someone is using a cable modem service, on that too, as you don't need to be
an existing BT customer or have a BT telephone line.

http://www.vonage.com/ have also indicated they plan to launch a UK service
sometime next year as well.

you can use http://www.pulver.com/fwd/ and there is a service (link on
the site) which will give you either a USA number (landline) or an
0870 number (UK.) Advantage of FWD is that no line rental.

From the FAQ.

Can I call people on their cell phones or traditional home phones?

No, Free World Dialup does not provide access to the traditional telephone
networks or cellular networks. FWD members can only call other FWD members.

But the OP asked for a VoIP service that can be reached from a PSTN phone
line. If you sign up with FWD, then you can sign up for UK (0870) number
from http://fwd.calluk.com/(bykcddmj23zrh...)/Default.aspx which
will allow incoming calls from that number to be connected to your FWD
account. You can also get a US (area code 360) number from
http://www.ipkall.com/ which will connect with your FWD account also.

Free calls to a PSTN phone line ends on the 31st Dec 2003.
