Virtual numbers ... A correction

A while back I posted my views on virtual numbers and how one can get it for free from one VoIPUser. It turns out that their claim is a bit misleading (given the reference, it has to be understated). This what they say in their website: “Join as a member and obtain your free UK local-rate telephone number (DID) which can be forwarded to any landline in a number of countries in the World, your SIP software or hardware phone or Asterisk VoIP PBX.” In actuality, they issue numbers from 08 series (and also from 07, which may also suffer from similar problem), which as was pointed out by Geddes recently is unregulated in UK and callers to this number are charged exorbitantly, compared to normal numbers.

One demerit for me for not researching this matter fully.
