I use P1i which has Wifi and has SIP.

I installed Fring (freeware) which connects to your MSN, Skype, Google Talk. I used to connect thri wifi for Voip Voice chatting. If you have 256 Kbps connection at home, you can easily have conversation with overseas friends & family members without having to pay anything additional thru your mobile phone. If you have Bluetooth headset you can talk without holding the phone!!!

You dont need a computer but you need a Wireless Router and Broadband connection. It directly connects to MSN, Google & Skype contacts.

Since P1i has QWERTY keyboard, I can also chat.

You even get Incoming Call Dial Tone using this Fring software. This can be downloaded from the net for free. Also, you can use this to talk to domestic/overseas telephone but this is a paid service at very cheap rates.

Dont go for wierd WiFi phones. Go for either Nokia or Sony Ericsson. Never try Blackberries!!!

thanks Ramchi for your response. I have a wireless router with broadband.

P1i is a GSM Model and I need some more options in both GSM and CDMA as in Nasik CDMA is far more better in connectivity than GSM.

if you can help me with some CDMA models also.

i found this list on a website i do not remember the name and found these mobiles which are working with skype.

Whichever Mobile phone you choose, ensure that Fring or SIP works without any problems. You go for mobile phone with more memory (like P1i which has 128 MB or RAM) and OS which is stable (Symbian OS - UIQ 3.0), if you are particular about VoIP voice chating.

I do have Nokia E61 which has WiFi and also has similar capabilities; this phone works fine but lots of hanging. You may go for E61i which has Camera capabilities as well. I feel E61i will be a better option in terms of value for money. But stability may be an issue with this phone (Not sure about E61i, though).

BB generally can be avoided for lack of support and highly priced handsets.

HTC, I-Mate, HP, Palm - No proper support available in India. You may need to spend lots of time and effort, may be lots of money for accessories as well.

Motorola, Samsung - I have not owned any Wifi from these brands.

Dear All,

Is it possible to install fring on any S60 CDMA mobile and connect to net and talk using fring/skype service to make calls from mobile itself?

Personally I've used Voip services / Skype from PPC6700 (CDMA) as well as (GSM) HTC P3300 on both - the voice clarity and performance has been exceptional ... no qualms on them.

Dear All,

There is no s60 cdma handset.

Thanks all for your help. Bought a new P1i and installed Fring on it. But the voice cuts in between in the test calls. can any one please help

[Ramchi 0]

It depends on the bandwidth in whic you use your voice chat and the type of equipment being used on the otherend etc...If the receiving end is using Speaker and has lots of noise parameters, then you may experience voice cuts.

But if you use Bluetooth headset and the receiving party is also using headset, you can avoid unnecessary voice distortions and background noise.

This VOIP over Skype or MSN may not be perfect but it serves the purpose.

Dont use Skype or MSN standard Voice Chat for your business needs. For this go for paid services offered by Fring or Skype which should provide you a better solution where you can directly call overseas telephone numbers.

Please suggest any CDMA handset which support connecting fring/skype service to make calls from mobile itself.

You can use nimbuzz on any Java enabled phone. It has support for multiple chat clients and for voice calls to them.

Skype over SPRINT 3g?

hi,

i'm interested in skyping over the SPRINT 3g data plan specifically, not just wi-fi. has anyone actually achieved this solution in practice? i got a great price with the SPRINT SERO plan, so that's an incentive to keep sprint.

i'm interested in SKYPE over the data plan from SPRINT on the SPRINT HTC TOUCH (MP 6900) / SPRINT HTC MOGUL (PPC 6800), or if these cannot, any sprint phone.

if not directly thru skype mobile, then thru one of the 3rd part clients, iskoot, fring, nimbuzz, shape, cellity or any others perhaps? what would you recommend?

i'd be interested in ATT as well if workable. again, not wi-fi, but the actual ATT 3g network. STEVE JOBS said during the apple IPHONE introduction presentation that voip would be "limited" or restricted over the ATT 3g network. has that been found to hold true?

best regards and thanx, tonyscarbone@hotmail.com 954.495.9933
