Calling Over WiFi with T-Moile
 

Hey Guys,

T-Mobile's service is pretty spotty around me. I know they offer WiFi calling on a myriad of their devices but I have yet to see any mention of WiFi calling on the N900.

Please tell me this is possible... If so, any DIY's out there?


Thanks,

Mike

skyp and goggle talk will work

Why does it have to be T-Mobile? Any SIP will do.

maybe you should mention where you life, at least the country ;-)
next step (or even the first one) would be to call T-Mob and complain about it.
maybe there are some solutions such as what AT&T offers to there customers (pico cell UMTS hotspots).

and finally... you could try to get a SIP phone application (which is already build into the N900) and use a provider such as sipgate.co.uk (or .de or something else) and use your phone as a WiFi phone.... but then you need a WiFi connection everywhere.

another option could be to simply swap your sim card with a card from another provider.

I'd suggest using a proper standard like SIP to call over IP. There is a number of SIP providers. You will also be able to use the account on your laptop/PC/any other device.

Here is a good list: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/S...king+Providers

I use www.blueface.ie as I am in .ie land. They work well.

Hope that helps.

Previous discussion, Brainstorm.

As for the implications that it's not a proper standard, it is a 3GPP standard, just not very widely implemented. SIP is great if you want VOIP-only (over wifi or 3G data), but GSM/GAN is equally valid, and does have the benefit of working on a 2G connection as well.
