| Mobile VoIP I have Skype Pro on my laptops.
I employ an aircard with deteriorating speeds from Sprint via Millenicom.
The voice quality at times leaves much to be desired. The mic makes quite a difference. Terrain/tower(s)and surrounding environment influence quality and speed.
Time of day around here has bearing on speeds realized.
In traveling, I continue to be amazed at the overall useability and ease of Skype. The downer is Sprint.
Skype has a mobile version for PDAs and, I believe, smartphones.
Thank you for this forum and DSLR. |

2 edits | bummer you are having connection issues. I use Millenicom with Skype all the time when mobile w/o any significant issues any worse than cellular. In fact I find I get better EVDO coverage then cellular coverage. I guess this shows how much it depends where you live and/or travel for these mobile solutions.
BTW, I am typically using my Nokia N800 with a Cradlepoint CTR350 router using a Franklin CDU680 USB EVDO Rev A Modem.
I have thought about mounting an antenna on top of my vehicle to increase the range of the Franklin as it has the ability to add an external antenna.
When not using the N800 I use my HP NX9420 and we have made long trips streaming video the whole way w/o but a few problems here and there...talking about streams under 350Kbps though...still works OK on the 17" laptop.

Hello grumpy3b.
Thank you for the reply. I am very new to all of this.
Sprint/Millenicom appears to be oversold. Agree that mobil with Skype is great if M'com can keep me on a good tower(s).
My tests are all over the map. I check with Speedtest.net as well as with Sprint speed test.
I use an Airlink101 router with a Pantech PX 500 aircard at home and take the card with me when mobil. I'm saving time and $$ by not stopping at coffee shops.
I don't torrent or download movies.
