I've seen that mentioned, but AFAIK it's only yet-another-voip solution. For the mobile it's seems downright silly, but maybe given the right kind of subscription ?
It depends on what you mean by 'silly'.
In this context, "waste of money/resources", but like I said, it depends on the subscription. For instance, in my company we have a group-call setup that means all calls between company mobiles are free. Using a VoIP app and hence using up data volume instead would be silly.
The Phone companies in my area have a basic service, be it wired or some kind of VOIP "home phone" that costs between $30 and $50/month depending on your plan. By comparison my VoIP service costs me $2/month and about $0.005/min. That rate applies thought north America and Europe and all except some 3rd world and very regional areas of India, Africa and China.
Yep, we have something similar.
The VoIP over wifi capability is basic in the Android phone; I don't need to install an app.
Really? I have an HTC Android, I did once play with VoIP on it, but I'm pretty certain I needed a client-app. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.5°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
