I have purchased an inner London number and grabbed a nice Cat5 Ethernet phone from e-bay. Now I can answer my 'office' number from the comfort of my front room
I can also take the phone with me to work and plug it in there.

Voipfone are a bit cheaper than sipgate and a LOT more reliable. (my sipgate account was a bit poo for making calls, noticeable delay was the worst part)
They charge for an incoming geographical number tho and I don't think the Hub can be hacked to use both

Are they that much more reliable that I should consider paying for an incoming number?

Edit: Just checked its possible to use voiptalk but I don't think it will do both as although it supports multiple profiles i think it will only take 1 gateway address.
