You and Harley and swg0101 do not want to use KoT VOIP. Would you please allow others to use it? They want free service and may not care about Symantec or signed certificate.
Both of those objections pertain to what are now quite often cybercrime-based sites.
Myself and the two others have tried to WARN others with our replies in this thread (and other threads).
If you and anyone else wish to take risks with such things as fake HTTPS certs and sites which AV companies have flagged as being dangerous - that is certainly your choice to make.
=>BUT<=
Urging others to take such risks - especially if they do not comprehend such risks and are mislead by the word 'free' alone - is just plain WRONG to do and it is this user's hope that you may consider being more responsible than to do such things to unwary users anymore.
Thank you for teaching me a lesson to take seriously any random quote or warning you will be able to find. You may not like it, but I don’t consider Symantec to be a good and trusted anti-virus program. My antivirus program did not scream fraud. It is quite common to use a self-signed certificate, unless it is for a commercial product. The developer does not want to buy a certificate and the warnings are for users to make their own decisions. However you shouldn't try that product.

Let's regroup, shall we? I was also highly suspicious when I first became aware of this site a few months ago. However, a self-signed cert is not a "fake HTTPS cert." Fake implies fraud and there is no evidence of that. This is not a commercial site so self-signed certs are commonplace. AFAIK, the only AV flashing a warning on this site is Symantec and if you actually follow the links the warnings are pretty benign. If it was a real threat all AV products would be throwing warnings left and right. That isn't happening. This site has been around awhile and been discussed on DSLreports.

Have I used this site? No.
Would I use this site? No.
Would I recommend this site? No.
However, if used as recommended with a dedicated Google account and credentials and a free DID there is very little risk involved. It's doing the same thing as SipSorcery is doing: initiating a web callback session. It is certainly prudent to be cautious but in this case, AFAIK, there is no history or evidence of anything nefarious going on here. In my view, the biggest risk with this site is that it might just disappear one day.

Here is my biggest problem with the website. It is being run on host names provided by a dynamic DNS host.
Have a look here.
http://www.voip01.com/
I think this is being run out of someones home. At least fork up $10 for a real domain name.

Pay your money and get in line, it's always your choice however what do you gain by going to these suspicious websites. There are many reputable voip sites out there you don't have to take foolish chances. I offed this response in order to be helpful but as always it's your dime so do what you will, I was just giving a heads up to a possible malicious site. Have a grateful day.
