I found the coolest thing yesterday! I found a site that will allow you to obtain a free UK phone number that you can forward to just about any phone in the world. Juan called me this morning and it worked like a charm! It was just a regular local toll call for him and just a normal incoming phone call on my cell phone. The best part is that it's all absolutely free!
To get your UK phone number, go to www.voipuser.org and sign up for a new account. Once you get logged in, click the My Numbers link and then request a new number. Then set it up to forward to whatever phone number you would like. You can set one up for your home and another for your cell phone. Then just let Juan know what your numbers are so he can call you. I also signed up for another phone number for home. Here are my phone numbers:
Cell: 08444843924
Home: 08700688421
Update: If you sign up for a free SIP account, you can make free outbound calls as well. I tried it and was actually able to call my house as well as Colombia. I'll have to try giving Juan a call with it tomorrow. Go to my website for more info on how to set it up.

I got my super cool UK number too. If you're ever in the UK, feel free to call me at 08715048108
i've subscribe a new number to, following your hints, but i can't nor call nor receive call...
Where do i do mistakes?
You may have not yet passed the waiting period for the SIP account. Once the waiting period has passed, you should be able to make outbound calls.
mmh.. yes! few days ago arrived a mail that told me the SIP account is activated, however i can't call my house phone.. i live in Italy.. maybe my Country isn't reached by the service... how can i do?
Thanks a lot!
Calls to Italy should work. Check here for a list of country codes:

You will have to dial as if you were calling from the UK, so you will have to use the Italy country code as listed in that message board.
Thankyou!
But now i've found the same italian service: www.skypho.net
I've tried it and it works very well!
Thanks!
