Inbound SIP services
aesmith:
Hi,
This doesn't seem quite the right place for this question, but nowhere else seemed to fit either. Question for any of you who are using SIP as your main telephone service, for inbound calls. What provider(s) do you use, and any feedback? We've decided to ditch our landline number and go SIP, currently I'm signed up with SIPgate with a local number, but I'm starting to feel a little uncomfortable about what's effectively a free service. There was a scare a couple of years ago when they announced the end of the basic service, then changed their minds. I don't specially want to change our number in the first place, so don't want to go through the process then find we lose the number a year or so down the line.
Thanks, Tony S

I use Andrews and Arnold's SIP service. AA's service can also redirect an incoming call to a completely different number, at times we have used this extremely handy feature to redirect to my wife's mobile phone.

If I remember correctly, Sipgate were only pulling out of the free service at the time - not the business part of the business, So you could go to their business offering, if you wish to pay for it. Sipgate seems to have put in a lot of time and effort in revamping their web site for the free part of their service, so I would be surprised if they pulled out now. I hope they don't, as I have been very happy with them over the years..............

Cheer. As it happens Sipgate reversed their decision, so it's not clear what options would have been available, for example whether their numbers could have been ported out. A&A looks good at first glance, however I note they don't support their SIP service if you use NAT. My Gigaset phone works perfectly with SIPgate and I've tested with "discountvoip" and that seems to work as well, although they don't do inbound.
Also looking at "localphone.com" which is another prepaid service. I like the idea of pre-paid because that reduces toll fraud risk.

I use sipgate and didlogic for inbound. Using a Gigaset N300IP with two dect handsets. Very happy with it all... well as long as my connection stays up.
