no, with vonage, freetalk, sipgate and all decent uk voip providers you get a proper 'normal' phone number.

"CHOOSE YOUR AREA CODE
Choose a phone number from any of the available UK rate centres, regardless of where your freetalk phone will be physically located. freetalk asks you to specify the "rate centre" (calling area or city name) that you would like to have assigned to your account. There can be many rate centres within one area code. With freetalk, you can request a rate centre that is local to those who call you the most. Rate centre selection does not affect your freetalk calling rates.
When you make calls from your freetalk account, all calls within the UK are included with your flat rate freetalk service. On all of our calling plans, calls between two freetalk subscribers are free and unlimited, anywhere in the world. Remember: freetalk is available to you even if we do not have your local area code or rate centre. Your freetalk area code and phone number is only used for inbound calls. If a more desirable rate centre later becomes available, freetalk will assign a new number to your account. This is a freetalk feature that is free of extra charge. "
