I've had the same number since I've had a phone 10+ years. I also love that they email me my voice mail messages. I hate having to check voicemail on my celphone now. _________________________ Chad

A good UK supplier is www.voiptalk.org - they sell VoIP gear and I use them for call termination as well. _________________________ RioCar 20 Gig Blue & Tuner
