I guess there is some value in you paying these guys instead so your cheapskate friends paying $5/month for skypein. For international calling it would be a winner. Either way you are burning your $0.10 minutes. I would be much more interested in paying for unlimited data (cingular $60) and turn that into unlimited VOIP minutes.
If someone could take the GSM voice codec packets over EDGE to a facility (low CPU usage in the handset) and transcode them to SIP or Skype and trigger received calls from SMS so the TCP/IP doesn't have to active to receive it would be perfect.
There's youre billion dollar buisness plan (until G3 becomes reality). Please remember me fondly (or better yet send stock).
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
