What is the minimum term of contract?
At Soho66 we provide great services at very good value for money. When customers cancel our service, it's typically because they do not require the service any longer.
We do not, consequently have any fixed term of contract. You can use our service for one month or as long as you want to.
We offer monthly, quarterly and annual payment options, so if you've paid in advance for a service that you cancel before the end of quarter or year, we'll refund the number of whole months left of your service, pro-rate with your original payment.

Telephone Service and Numbering
What is the Business VoIP service?
Voice over IP (VoIP) lets people make telephone calls via the internet. VoIP converts the voice signal from an ordinary telephone into a digital signal, which travels over the internet, and then converts it back.
With our Business VoIP service customers can make high quality calls worldwide through the Internet.
We provide you with a geographic or non geographic number or a block of numbers. You can then make and receive calls using an IP handset or software phone or alternatively, simply forward the number you have from us to a landline or mobile

What are geographical and non-geographical numbers?
We provide access to in excess of 10 Million geographic and non geographic numbers to our customers.
Geographic numbers are telephone numbers that are prefixed with a town or city area code.

How many participants can I invite to a conference call?
The maximum number of participants is 10. Please note that the quality of the conference call may be poor if you invite more than 10 people to participate.
Is there a limit to the duration or number of conference calls I can make?
No, make as many conference calls as you like, as often as you like.
Can I make a conference call from abroad?
Yes, it is possible to make a conference call from abroad.
Is the conference call service secure?
Yes, the service is secure. In order to enter your conference room, there are two separate pin numbers: A Guest Pin Number and a Leader Pin Number (the leader is the person who has arranged the conference call). The conference call can not take place without the leader. To ensure the conference is safe the leader should not give the leader pin number to anybody, but only give the guest pin number to participants. Guests can dial into the conference before the leader but the conference call won’t start before the leader joins. Each caller will be announced before joining the call, so you will always know how many people are in your conference and who they are.
Can I record my conference calls?
No, at the moment it is not possible to record conference calls. However, this feature may be available in the future.
