Can't make any calls, it times out. Does it still work for anyone, or do you need credit now ? Regards, Martin

And that was apropos of what, exactly?

Interesting: you're saying that the VoIP service would neither send nor receive calls (SIP?) yet the internet connection continued to work fine.

Have you power cycled your phone?
The Babble VoIP server is either not working or not recognising me. Coincidentally I have today received a reply from Babble Support to my email from 19th December ! Regards, Martin
I had an email befor Xmas saying that to make calls will require credit. But personally I never used the service as it was far too unreliable to be used. Also it was obvious from their parent website that the business model was unsustainable and they hoped tpo get users then churn them onto being paying customers. The free calls was a good viral method of getting users. It would be intersting where the first email came from..

As of today, instead of just timing out, I get a message 'Please obtain credit...', even for 0800 number ! They did say free calls to zone 1 will continue "well in to 2005", I never got an email from them announcing the change and their softphone doesn't work (I use X-lite), so I am not impressed.
So, now you can pay 1p / min for zone 1 calls, or pay £5 p / month and get
1000 min *FREE*, which is not a bad price, but I don't need even 500 min's so I won't subscribe. I will stick with sipgate, slightly more expensive - 1.12p / min, but with a free geographical number.
