Re: How Bad Is VOIP Loss

VOIP on a data contract or a normal calls on a voice contract, they will still make money hand over fist.
I still don't see how someone who owns a cell phone that works at home actually saves any money by using VOIP... unless they make a lot of international calls... but it seems that even using cheap calling cards can give you a good deal on those.

Exactly... Internation calling is a HUGE deal.
Also, with unlimited plans (ie Skype or Vonage), people could easily drop their POTS/house line for $25 unlimited package.
I work at home, and use Skpeout a LOT (+3000 minutes/month) for $3/month.
Calling cards are relatively inexpensive, but inconvenient as well.

Guess it depends if you use the Cellphone Data Plan to do the VOIP or a different net connection. I never even really thought about using a cell phone's data plan to do VOIP. That's...weird... but can see why it would be attractive if someone has lesser minutes and unlimited data.

I'd assume that 'mobile voip' means cellphone handsets that can send out calls over open hotspots. That surely sounds 'cheap' to me!
