Voip

[pete]

lads it could be worth trying out voipcheap.co.uk. they are free to landlines in aus, america, ireland,uk, holland, portugal and a few others.

Is that just a promotional offer? Looks like good deal although application looks a bit rough.

You can now make FREE calls to several countries. These calls are limited to 1 minute per call. If you want UNLIMITED calls to our FREE destinationa, all you have to do is go to our website and buy £10 worth of credit.

Seems to be a catch?

well the catch is that you ahve to initally put on 5 pound or more which lasts forever as far as i could make out. and then the calls are free, trust me ive been using it to ring home and ring aus. its quality. nothing wrong for me anyhow.

... as regards the voip blocking software, presumeably they cannot block voip to voip calls? id imagine its illegal and impossible to do, unless your internet provider is a telco...

Sure they can. Everything in and out of this country goes through a telico's network. All they have to do is identify the VOIP packets and add delays and errors. Do it circumspectly enough and you've got deniability and you've made your competitor's QOS look like dog-****.
