I've been using VoipCheap for quite a while with Twinkle and other SIP 
clients. Service is free for SIP calls, you only pay (sometimes ;-) ) 
when calling phones.

I see they now have a web signup form for non-Windows users: in the past 
you had to use a Windows app for signup only, ironically.

Voice quality is good, and by the way, rates to call phones were (are?) 
quite lower than Skype, and free for calls to landline numbers in most 
countries.

FEI (For Everyone's Info), while SIP is a standard and interoperable 
protocol, Skype is a proprietary protocol and app, and being a peer-to-
peer system, it uses your bandwidth for other calls too.

The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they
are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly
understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who
believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence,
are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. - Maynard Keynes, 1936
