VoIP User FAQ - How do I call another person on Voipuser ?

Dean,
If you please answer the following questions (I just want to be sure about them right):
If a VoIPUser calls me by dialing the number I assigned under My Number, is the call considered as a SIP between two VoIPUser peers? If not, how does one go about dialing a SIP P2P call from an analog phone attached to a SIP ATA device so that the call does not drain the pot resources?

No.
But the one assigned under My SIP Account does go peer to peer (the 0844 986 **** number).
That 0844 986 **** number is simply an alias to mazilo @voipuser.org, and will never hit the PSTN if a user dials it from a VoIP User account.
For anyone with alphanumeric dialling, mazilo @voipuser.org can be dialled also from any of our peers. To dial you by number from a peer, the caller would need to prefix the 0844 986 **** number with the VoIP User dial code **448
So from my VoIP User phone, I could dial either your 0844 986 number, or mazilo @voipuser.org and call you IP to IP without going via the PSTN.
From a Gossiptel phone, I could either dial mazilo @voipuser.org or **448 0844 986 **** and the call will be routed IP to IP again with no recourse to the PSTN.
