I remember back about 6 ~ 7 years ago, a program called phone4free was released for download and you could use it to make absolutely free phone calls so long as you had an internet connection. Back then I was using 56K dialup and Net Zero. IT WORKED PERFECTLY.

Then these scumbags took that offline and re-released it as a pay service in VoIp.

That's one of the reasons I refuse to pay for any online service.
I get my music from Limewire, my videos from Limewire and I not only unlocked my iPhone but I have a sim chip that the ciity pays for. My iphone cost $300 but I pay $0.00 a month for it.

Yeah I know you wanna low rank me - but I refuse to be a pay for play sheep like the rest. Soon as I figure out a way to steal digital cable I'm gonna.

You do realise that if everyone did this you wouldnt have ANY of the stuff you so blithely post about stealing.

You might be a real hit with all your friends bragging about all the sh*t you steal (and lol @ using limewire) but its not exactly hard to do, nor it is clever posting it here.]]>Jun 6th 2008 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/

Apple DOES NOT FORBID VOIP as long as it's only used on WiFi. It was announced at the iPhone SDK thing months ago. This is a fair policy to me. After all, you are getting unlimited internet for a discount on iPhone plans (compared to equivalent voice/text plans with added unlimited internet).]]>Jun 6th 2008 10:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/Jun 6th 2008 10:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/Jun 7th 2008 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/
Why stop at free Cable (I would personally steal satellite instead of cable because they can't locate you)? Get a plumber to bypass your water and gas meter and steal those, then get an electrician to bypass your power meter and steal that shit too. Stick it to the man!!!

While you're at it, now that the power company won't see your power useage, it'll be safe to start a grow-up in your house and make money the easy way - with illegal drugs. Work!? Fuck work, I'm not doing that shit.

Which VOIP provider does it use?]]>Jun 6th 2008 6:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/
Will this cost anything?If so,how much?

Will this be able to be used on both the current and future Iphone?(I personally don't see why it wouldn't be,but I'm not a programmer.)


And when is this coming out?

2) Not to mention that they are stepping on the toes of Apple's partner AT&T by providing free phone service.

3) They have a paid side to the phone service. I wonder how long it will take for all those "free phone calls" to the U.S. and Canada to convert to "very low cost".

Not to say that I don't like it. And I will even try it (since I get horrible service at my house and actually have to go outside to make sure I don't drop calls) (I live in a farm area in Iowa, so every carrier is just as crappy).]]>Jun 6th 2008 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/

I think the answer is yes, you can do this, at least without wireless carriers. If you go over VOIP through wifi, you're using a different carrier for your internet (e.g. comcast) and then whoever they use to process the VOIP and do the backhaul operations is probably not AT&T.

In the end, if you do this, AT&T won't see a penny from the VOIP call. That's why they're restricting it. ]]>Jun 6th 2008 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/
Pray tell me how you're going to take a GSM call and had it off to VOIP *without* the carrier being involved.

Sure if it's a voip call it's nothing to do with the carrier - but they're saying "seamless handover" here... that's a gsm -> voip handover.. You quite simply can not do this without the carrier being involved. So they're either lying or they use the carrier...]]>Jun 8th 2008 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/
Will you save more battery life just taking the call on the cell network? I figure using the cell and wifi would drain it faster.

But still cool.]]>Jun 6th 2008 7:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/Jun 6th 2008 7:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/Jun 6th 2008 8:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/http://code.google.com/p/siphon/) which is based of the (http://pjsip.org/) code. The people reporting these things need to recognize the creators too and not only recognize the who put a *pretty face* on the code or mix it with other apps code (like fring did with the siphone/mobile chat code).
So please if some one blogs about a voip app(that uses sip protocol) give credit to the creators(if not touchmods then pjsip) ]]>Jun 6th 2008 7:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/

The truly interesting thing about this article is that this application is considerably LESS capable than pretty much every UMA phone. Normally UMA-capable phones will automatically switch over to WiFi automatically when it becomes available, and back to GSM automatically if WiFi becomes unavailable, so that iPhone UI asking users to get involved is a bit ridiculous.]]>Jun 6th 2008 6:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/Jun 6th 2008 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/06/icall-enables-seamless-gsm-to-wifi-switching-on-iphone/

I even fired it up while in England and it was golden; just like I was calling from Boulder. Theoretically, a carrier can stop this by filtering IP addresses, but T-Mobile (to my knowledge) doesn't.

Now, take that functionality and put it into a 3G iphone and I'll jump. Sure I want 64GB and a 5MP with flash - but I can upgrade if/when Apple gets around to that. Sorry T-Mobile, but gotta say goodbye to best prices and hello to some new sexy (sure...3G is coming to T-Mobile...just keep saying it and one decade it may become reality....)]]>Jun 6th 2008 11:00AM
