Maybe I will put a note about this issue when I next update the page.
The problem is with the Betamax FUP and the key phrase is "and per unique IP address"
(at the foot of http://voipcheap.com/en/index.html in your case)

The purpose is to stop you getting multiple freedays allocations by running
multiple accounts behind a common public IP.

If you think about it, that's exactly what we are doing here, we are sharing
our 300 min per week with everyone else who is using the pbxes IP to originate
the calls.

The problem might not be quite as bad as it seems though, when you sign
up for a pbxes account, depending what country that you say you are in,
you appear to be assigned one of several servers, with URLs starting with
http://www1, http://www2 http://www3 etc.etc.
I strongly suspect each one uses a different IP to place SIP calls.

I do get some landline calls that get charged because of FUP, but
not nearly as many as when I used to use Voxalot and MySIPSwitch,
perhaps it was down to my choice of server ;-)
and in any case, my system is mainly used to make calls to UK mobiles
which are going to be chargeable anyway.
