Calls to 01801 numbers are quite expensive.

Using a VPN and/or proxy would not help you, as Sipgate started running postal address verifications as part of their DID activation process.

With all due respect, there has to be latency. A call placed from let's say Germany to the US and from the US back to Israel would add at least a 220-250ms delay.

On the other hand, a call placed...

My guess is that they setup a free UK premium rate number and forward it to the UM number. BT K-Rate numbers (such as 070059) can be forwarded pretty much anywhere in the world for free.
