[Liverpool] SIP Providers

[Liam Craddock]

Afternoon all,

I want to setup a SIP phone at home instead of getting a BT line. I have 
a Cisco 7940g phone which has a SIP firmware image I can flash on. I 
want to to talk directly to the sip provider, no go through any 
intermediate hardware.(Sebastian, any reason why this wouldn't work?)

My question is, what sip providers would people suggest? It'll be low 
call volumes, possibly one or two calls a week, and probably most 
incoming. I'll need an external number and I don't really mind if its 
local or not. Do sip providers generally charge for incoming calls?

I also want to configure the devices and test them before committing to 
anything, do providers let you do this?

Thanks!

I'll see some of you for the LUG crawl.
