Read this and I think the only reason why I use Voip is if I go overseas: overseas 
mobile calls can be lethally expensive (and hence the reason for the second sim). 
Was in HK 

-       bought a tourist SIM at the airport (£8) for data access. This also provided 
a local number 
-       Routed all UK mobile calls to voip
-       Voip worked perfectly

Made me wonder why I provide a mobile number on my business card.
