fring mVoIP
Can anyone give me a rough idea of the cost of a VOIP call to the SA cellular network operators? Maybe suggest a few VOIP providers for me?
Also, I'm using a P990i phone and I would like to know if there is any VOIP software i can use in conjunction with one of these packages.
Thanks
fring.com offers a brilliant package that allows you to use your standard VoIP service provider from your phone.
They currently support: Skype, MSN, SIP, GoogleTalk and ICQ
The rates are the standard VoIP rates that your existing VoIP supplier charges plus you pay your cell provider for the data that the call consumes.
This is the data usage according to frings website:
http://www.fring.com/about/cost_saving/
"fring for Symbian phones consumes:
~ 8MB for a 60-minute VoIP call; (8MB is about R16 for an hour at current rates)
0.05 KB per instant message;
~ 10KB per hour connectivity
fring for Windows handsets consumes:
~ 14.5MB for a 60 minute VoIP call;
16.2 KB per hour connectivity
fring for Symbian UIQ handsets consumes:
~ 8.6MB for a 60 minute VoIP call;
32.1 per hour connectivity"
