The best blog about VoIP Telephony

Yesterday I tried to use the iNomado (iPhone VoIP application) beta version over a 3G networks here in Belgium, the Mobistar 3G network.

Here are the results of the test:

Bandwith required and consumption :

Following our test, you have to count maximum 1 meg per minute of call.

How not to use the Internet volume plan?

If you find open Wi-Fi (you always find many of them on your street) you will be able to call via nomado without using your Internet monthly volume.

This is a revolution guys, is this the nightmarre of the Mobile operators? Nope, as they focuse now on the Internet access..

iPhone works great on VoIP over 3G
