Nokia Dumps VoIP
Saturday, September 6th, 2008Nokia Dumps VoIP Written by Garrett Smith Published on at 10:56 am Categories Mobile VoIP Comments None It looks like that for the near term the fairy tale relationship between Nokia and VoIP has ended.

iPhone – the Device I love to hate
Saturday, September 6th, 2008When Apple launched the 3G iPhone, I must confess, I went out and purchased one. I need a smart phone for work, I need one that works both in the United States and Japan, and the consumer electronic design from Apple floored me. The screen is exquisite. The video playback is outstanding. The mobile web experience is second to none. I realize I am in a walled garden, but what a pretty walled garden it is. Now, you needn’t remind me that I purchased my iPhone as a personal accoutrement. But as
Truphone Gets Ink in the Wall Street Journal
Saturday, August 30th, 2008Truphone is a fantastic mobile VoIP I have written about extensively in the past. At the surface, Truphone is like Skype for your mobile phone. The application uses internet telephony to make cheap calls from your mobile. Truphone is a program that sits on your mobile phone and can be used while you’re attached to a Wi-Fi hotspot or on a 3G signal (unless you’re running it on an iPhone, then Truphone only works on Wi-Fi). Truphone allows you to make very inexpensive calls, especially when y
Moving To A 2 SIM Strategy
Friday, August 29th, 2008In the past I have usually used at least one SIM card for voice telephony and a separate one for Internet access. I never liked this approach very much and always looked for ways to combine the two. These days, combined voice and data offers on a single SIM have improved so I’ve been using my Nokia N95 for voice telephony, Internet access directly form the phone and as a modem for notebook Internet access over the past couple of weeks now. Interestingly enough, it turns out that the combined SI
How to Make Voip calls from your mobile phone using SIP
Friday, August 29th, 2008My last post was about Intervoip, which can provide really cheap calls to India. However, the major drawback of making voip calls is that you have to be dependent on your laptop. But now no more, with SIP coming into picture, you can now make Voip calls from your mobile phone directly. Since Intervoip, support SIP, and provide really cheap calls to India, what could be more better, if you can use your mobile phone over a wifi hotspot to call your friends or family.

GIPS ports VoiceEngine to iPhone.
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008You may remember Global IP Solutions, or GIPS, as the company responsible so many years ago for the audio infrastructure that made Skype sound so good in the early days. Skype was the tipping point that ushered in the age of internet telephony, and in the process, they made GIPS a well known name in the industry. Today they’ve announced that their VoiceEngine platform is now available to iPhone developers. Want to build a voice-enabled WiFi application on iPhone? This may be the easiest wa
