Talk gets cheaper

They're not differentiating between voip data and normal data yet.

They can differentiate normal voip traffic and data and they will charge you more if they can....If you go onto mtn's website they even state that they will. Its just that they dont know how to identify skype traffic cos of the proprietary headers etc. so i think ppl can use skype but not the others like mino etc.
You might get a shock with your phone bill..
 
I went and got myself the E61 on Friday because of this article. Ok not only because of this article.... :)

Its a great phone....

Well to the point then:

Did not take me minutes to get the phone setup on Truphone a bit longer. Had to update my firmware and try and install the program 5 times before I got it working.

It works great (only works with WiFi hotspots, not 3G, correct me if I am wrong)

Its not free to SA numbers!!! I want to try calling some "Free" numbers and see if it is free. The nice thing though is if my friend and I are both in Wifi networks we have access to, we can make a truphone call to each other for nothing except for the bandwidth charge.

Its a great service from what I tested so far now I just need some more friends with a Nokia E61 or supported phone, Wifi, and Broadband to really use this service.

Ya I also upgraded my N80 to N80ie recently and setup Tru Phone and Gizmo. Did u knew that u can call Google Talk users as well?;) (ofcourse u did) - but only if they are subscribed to Gtalk2VoIP. So I mainly chat to friends who use Gtalk2voIP. I'm yet to try the ordinary cell nos and landlines. I wanna get the credits and test the service.

But I love it....
