@benc - Re: Isn't It Impractical Right Now?
Correct. That's why the iSkoot solution does not involve VoIP from the handset. with iSkoot the handset uses a data connection only to do call setup with an iSkoot server, the handset then calls, using a voice circuit, the gateway number for the iSkoot service, the iSkoot server VoIPs the call to Skype and does the handshake with the Skype server. No QoS problems (other than the ones you normally experience on your cell phone, the carrier is kept (reasonably) happy as you are still using minutes and you save on all international calls. Downside, you don't save on "in minutes" calls since you are still making them, you need a supported handset, although all Java should work, they don't and incoming calls work less well (the app needs to be running).
Happy iSkoot user till I changed phones and lost support. |
