VOIP over cellular - flat fee mobile phones!

The most practical way to terminate VOIP calls via cellular phones seems to be vonkall. You do not need high speed internet on the cellular. Connect to the internet wit a phone call to vonkall voip access system. A call from any phone to vonkall has you voiping offline.

yes flat fee
oh, and i DO have flat fee data over both my phones. $20 a month for GPRS and $80 a month for EDGE. I'm the one who mentioned flat fee.

yes flat fee
yes, it doesn't mention flat fee service - but in the US market, you're flat fee or it's no go. In europe, they also charge the caller differently for calling a mobile phone, and they also have a single standard, and there are a few other differences.

A vonage symbian app is what i'm envisioning. It could be written today; the tech is not the issue; it's the business model as you point out.

So I took the article as an indication that a mobile carrier is at least *looking* at the fact that they could lose market share to a wireless Vonage play and do it themselves.

no flat fee
Nowhere does it mention flat fee service.

If it's to be like services currently being rolled out in Europe you'll pay a flat connection fee plus a charge per amount of data received (or sent). Those charges can get rather high, typically starting at around €1.50 ($2) per megabyte (with of course a minimum charge per month).
