VoIP is something of a dichotomy: you can use your PC to pay as you go; or get a subscription service that you can also use when your PC isn't on. DrayTel's service is a no-frills SIP-compliant (see Babble) service that can do either of these and more. So if you wanted a pay-as-you-go service that can use a standard phone, you can buy a £29.99 adapter. It needs to plug into a router but you get an 0870 number just for registering and can get a standard phone number with an area code of your choosing just by shelling out for a £10 call voucher. Prices aren't bad but if you're willing to invest in £20 worth of call time and use it within six months, you get access to the Silver tariff, which offers more competitive rates.
