When one company uses their relationship with another company to stifle or kill off competition that is illegal. I think honestly though the FCC is going to go after them on Net Neutrality. If Comcast can't decide what traffic flows on their network (which I completely agree they shouldn't) then why should AT&T? If they want to be a ISP it doesn't matter if the computer is hand-held or a desktop, they have to follow the same rules as everyone else. Killing/crippling apps is there way of managing the traffic.]]>Aug 1st 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/fcc-now-inquiring-about-atandts-involvement-in-google-voices-iph/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/fcc-now-inquiring-about-atandts-involvement-in-google-voices-iph/Aug 1st 2009 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/fcc-now-inquiring-about-atandts-involvement-in-google-voices-iph/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/fcc-now-inquiring-about-atandts-involvement-in-google-voices-iph/Aug 2nd 2009 2:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/fcc-now-inquiring-about-atandts-involvement-in-google-voices-iph/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/fcc-now-inquiring-about-atandts-involvement-in-google-voices-iph/Jul 31st 2009 7:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/fcc-now-inquiring-about-atandts-involvement-in-google-voices-iph/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/fcc-now-inquiring-about-atandts-involvement-in-google-voices-iph/

Well, they might be behind Europe... but I'm still wondering if there are other countries bar USA with visual voicemail (as I thought that was one of the main new feats when iPhone was first launched.

Visual Voicemail worked from the start when T-Mobile launched the iPhone in Germany on 2007. France, too. And hey, MMS worked in Germany when they launched the 3gs.

Why would AT&T want you to use a substitute for voice over its own network?

remember you pay to use 1 number on at&t's service not for 2 numbers!

Because I wouldn't use its network. I would use WiFi and VoIP via GoogleVoice.
And besides, it's not AT&T job to tell me who to call (e.g. if I call directly to Greece, or by calling a local number which redirects me to Greece). That would be a "call neutrality" problem (a'la net neutrality) and I am sure it would hold up in court.

Yes, you are agreeing to pay for a specific service from AT&T. But you should also have the option to use a service that's available on other phones on the same network.
