The OP was looking to replace his home phone line for voip, Skype is only good for people who want to make cheap outgoing calls only and relies on a pc to use. (it also has poor voice quality compared to true voip/sip based providers due to the codec they use!)

A true voip/sip provider allows incoming and outgoing calls with local numbers for all of the uk, you can also use them without the need for any computers. Either via an adapter that allows you to just plug in your normal bt phone into or via a sip phone.

Skype is for amatures or just for people who want something simple to make cheap outgoing calls.
