  We're getting a bit sloppy with terminology here!

  nospam says "voip provideS". You say "VoIP provideRS". (In both cases
the emphasis is mine.)

  Strictly speaking, both sentences are wrong in the sense that they can
be true, but are not neccessarily true in all cases. Luckily you explain
what you mean by later (see below) talking about getting a SIP provider
and phone number.
