Re: Not sure why. said by Exiled:Ha! VoIP over 3G is often more economical than normal cellphone calls. For example, Google Voice's app allows you to place free long distance calls in North America. You use the app to place a call rather than your provider. No, more like over 3G you would not use your plan minutes and could reduce your cost.
I use Google's Voice App on my Driod with Verizon. I have the number used by google for the call back in my Friends&Family list. When I make a call through Google I do not get charged for an plan minutes on my cell. I also use Sipdroid through pbxes.org and make tru VoIP calls across 3G and WiFi with no plan minutes used. |

Rialto, CA | Of course, if you have an "unlimited" plan, then you would save nothing by using Skype.

@verizon.net | I have an unlimited plan.... It beats paying overage... and I use skype over 3G with a 3G unrestrictor for international calls and skype to skype calls... but the quality just isnt there right now regardless, and as service fluctuates your calls are even more prone to lag and dropped calls... lets see if skype can pull off cd quality sounds... |

I have been trying to figure out why I would want Skype with my iPhone and cannot come up with a reason; however, those who use their cell ALLOT certainly might. |

I LOVE unlimited minute plans. I got spoiled being on Cricket for several years. When Tmobile dropped the price on their unlimited plans I switched and signed up quick. My bill is the same price month in and out. No surprises. That's what I like. |
