Just out of interest, do the different VOIP suppliers talk to each other? In
other words, could I use Skype to talk to someone who's signed up with
Voipcheap, or is that too much to hope for?

Yep, too much to hope for!
As far as I know you can only call other subscribers with the same
company software, free of course.

I believe there is one called Gizmo that will talk to some of the others.
Didn't pay too much attention( not interested in them, at least not yet)
but do know it works on MAC Win and Linux. No link you'll have to
Scroogle for it sorry

From what I understand from the Gizmo web site subscribers can still
only call free to other Gizmo subscribers. Not to be confused with
being able to connect to any normal landline phone in the world. This
is of course possible with all these services, some are free and others
have a charge usually much less that you will have previously paid to
your normal phone company.

Everyone,

Thanks for the replies.

I was looking for a service where I could contact non-subscribers. It seems
that I will have to pay for such a service.
