I read that VM uses SIP for its business services, but for residential
services it uses its own digital voice system. Why does it do this you
might wonder? Call me a cynic, but I would say it is so that it can
never interoperate with the SIP telephone network, and they can always
charge a connection fee. This is the same approach of Google and Amazon,
just refuse to co-operate and so make life difficult for customers.

So there it is, we've destroyed the telephone network and handed
ourselves over to corporations to feed parasitically on us. All this was
started by Margaret Thatcher.

Without these arbitrary contrived obsticals there would be no reason for
charging separately for voice calls as if they are different from any
other internet service.
