Doesn't www.sipgate.co.uk do that?  After all, they provide free NCFA
numbers to the asking.

You misunderstand I am asking for termination *to* NCFA.  I want to be
able to call them, as my signature indicates I already have a NCFA for
inbound (which is sipgate).

Can you also terminate through Sipgate? They say: United Kingdom, 1.19 p/min

I figure if they can provide origination for NCFA numbers, they can
also terminate to them... your +44 870 number is a NCFA one, no?

Naw, I understood you full well.  You'd think if they provide
origination to NCFA numbers, they'd provide termination to them as well,
wouldn't you?  As far as their website is concerned, there are only two
UK rates, and no disclaimers that NCFA would be excluded.

Ahh yes they do however they are 7.51ppm 24/7 for NCFA and 3 ppm for
NCFA.  7.51 ppm is over $0.13/min using current exchange rates and I was
looking for sub $0.05/min or even unlimited like broadvoice advertises
but does not actually provide.

Thanks though


Anyone else know of any providers that allows you to call a UK NCFA (+44
870) for $0.05 USD or less per minute and is BYOD?

Ahhh... Sneaky.  Because of the special billing agreements on NCFA
numbers, there's bound to be a lower limit to how these calls are
priced.  I doubt BT gives sipgate (or any other VOIP provider) a
signigicant discount on these calls.  If you can reasonably expect that
there are a lot of other sipgate/uk users being called, I'd go with
them, as those calls are free after all.

There isnt, so I cant.  I found one company that accidentally told me
that they pay $0.001/min to NCFA and they also offer unlimited but they
are $250/mo (although that does allow resale of the service), but they
dont wanna talk to me about slaes I bet its even worse once htey have my
money, and $250 is a bit steep since I dont plan on resale.

broadvoice gave unlimited as well, and at that point they were reselling
GBLX ($35k/mo minimum spending limit on resale packages of that
caliber).  There is a carrier in the UK (not voip afaik) that gives
unlimited to NCFA with a 1 pence connect fee.  So there are carriers out
there I just havent been able to find any why I asked here.  Of course I
need to be able to use asterisk with it, I do not want their hardware,
although I do have a card I could use to connect to that at the cost of
dropping my analogue service to my asterisk box.

maxvoip.com.br does as well, but they arent local, language issues and
afaik they dont sell to the US.

The rates BT can charge are set by Ofcom (the UK telecoms/media
regulator).

There are 5600 Digital Local Exchanges (DLEs) in the UK, and to get
single or dual tandem access you need to connect to around 770 of them.
BT are regulated (as they have SMP [significan market power]) on how
much they can charge for the single or dual tandem hop.

Non-geographic numbers are usually mapped to geographic numbers (or
virtually via an IN platform). 0845 numbers generally do not generate
revenue (on ingress), 0870 numbers do (0870 are max 10p per minute, but
not classified as premium rate).

There are a few altnets who have connected to around the 770 DLEs and
these include THUS, C&W, probably Energis and maybe Carphone Warehouse
(TalkTalk brand). Most others are either using these, or directly
connecting to BT and paying too much money ;)

The closest I've seen is http://www.iax.cc/ (sixTel) who charges just 
over 5c/min.


Direct from their web site:
United Kingdom -Premium 448 5.301ยข /min

(FWIW, I haven't had any problems with them for outbound, but they 
have been *VERY* slow to provision DIDs lately.)
