Tesco internet phone service withdrawn )o:

[earlydoors]

Guys I have had great success using the Tesco internet phone service for verification purposes but sadly received a mail from them today to say they are suspending the service, note attached... if you need verification get it now before they pull the plug..

We are writing to let you know that from 27th April 2010, we will no longer be providing Tesco internet phone and Talk Wi-fi services. This is due to a number of factors that impact the service we provide to you, so we have decided to discontinue this offering.

From this date your Tesco internet phone account will be closed and the service will not be available. You will no longer be able to access your online account or be able to make calls using your Tesco internet phone.

This does not affect any other services provided by Tesco Telecoms.

We apologise for any inconvenience and will be happy to assist you with any enquiries you may have.

The Tesco internet phone team

Yeah was reviewing phone services yesterday and came across the information on their website. They are not allowing new registrations. Trying Soho66 now.

This may sound like a dumb question, but if you use a VOIP for verification how do you input the number or like if they say if you expect a call from paypal press x. Do I need to get a VOIP USB Phone? Any help would be great as I am look for a PP verification number. Thanks

just put the number in via your keyboard or you probably have a pop up window with keys on?

Does the automated voice not start until you say hello to answer? How does that work without a usb phone?

[Dude]

I ordered a USB phone, thought better be safe than sorry, so what would you guys say the best company is. I don't mind paying a few £ as long as it does what it says. I know for PP it needs to be geographically matched

[Pulp]

Damn! Thought I was onto something :( Are there any other alternatives?

Hi all, I have had my tesco internet phone more or less since they first started it and it was brilliant until recently when the service started playing up a bit. When they announced that they were packing in I was gutted. I own 2 DP450 base stations and 3 phones all tied to the Tesco network!

I came across Voicehost.co.uk and they have successfully helped me to unlock the DP450 and are now in the process of porting my number across to them. Brilliant response times and the support guys really seem to know their stuff unlike the tesco support team!
