One I think is even less necessary is that from Sprint, I can get a static IP for my iPhone for $3 per month. I don't know what having it would do for me. I have heard that cell networks change your IP as often as every tower you switch over to, so if you used voip over the connection, your server would see stuff coming from a new IP and not know what to do with it, dropping the call in the process. This assumes the providers don't have a way to have that IP address follow your phone while data usage is in progress. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barry Toner" <barry@tonermail.co.uk> To: "Blind sysadmins list" <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Wednesday, January 20, 2016 12:52 PM Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] UK ISP Static IP tip Hi, I signed up to www.plus.net<http://www.plus.net> the other week and we went live in the house on Monday. The staff so far seem to be quite techy and are all UK based. I thought this wasn't happening anymore with the shortage of IPv4 addresses , but for a one of off £5 charge I was able to get a static IP of them. Remember back in the day when you could get one for free? Still though, I was quite pleased with this. Useful to know, if any of you need a static IP for home or work stuff.
