Yes, there is no guarantee to how long these free calls will last, I managed
to get around 7 months free calls to UK lines out of VoIP Buster, and now use
SIP Discount (via my ATA) for the last few months.
I used to have a BT line and use 18866, 1899 and more recently 18185, I was
with them, when they had a per minute charge, and then they dropped that to
zero pence per minute, however I dropped my BT landline and now use VoIP for
my calls (Broadband via Telewest).
Might as well make use of the free calls whilst they last, plus the above VoIP
services are not limited to the UK or EU.
