IPhone :: Internet Low Cost International Calling Facility Software
Sep 4, 2010
So I have been traveling a lot, and wherever I've been there's one common thing. it costs an arm and a leg to call back to the US from iPhone, regardless if roaming on AT&T, or using that country's local SIM.I have both Google Voice +, and Skype.GV + is nice for texting, but the nature of it's operation is you dial a number and it dials you back to complete the call, which negates the purpose because then it's still using airtime if roaming on AT&T, and if using a foreign SIM it won't dial out to connect the call to an international.Skype is great because when I'm on a hotel's WiFi or 3G network I can use it to call back to the US to toll-free numbers, however it doesn't allow free calls to standard area-code numbers (like homecell phones.Is there any alternative I'm not seeing? What do people use to accomplish this? I would love to see a company like Vonage or MagicJack come up with an application that would do what I'm looking for, but it seems like there are regulatory hurdles they're facing to accomplish it from what I'm reading online.

I've been using my X10 Mini for about 3 months now. This is my first Android/smartphone device.I've been shocked so many times at the unbelievable cost of internet usage (or related) costs on the device. I'm currently in Italy (for now) and the costs here are even worse than at home. Totally, totally shocking.What I'd like to do is identify and understand, then control all the settings related to this. I hope this helps out others in the future.
1 Settings, Wireless & Network, Mobile Network, DATA ROAMING, DATA TRAFFIC . So roaming for outside your usual network, traffic is WHAT? Allow internet in general?
2. Settings, Accounts & Sync, BACKGROUND DATA, this is what? Allow apps to use internet? E.g. for weather apps etc.?
3. Anything related to GPS (various settings in location services and wireless) should be hunted down and switched off.
I've used phones since I was about 12. I've been a tech geek for as long as I know, very early adopter of 3G blah blah but I'm surprised by the complexity of the internet options on these android devices and shocked by the million ways they steal your credit.

Received the following error when trying to make a calling using wifi? The error message says that I do not have internet calling account on my phone. And it sends me to a screen to set up a sip account. It doesn't always happen but it does happen when I try to make a call her from a contact page (ie, my wife's contact page that includes her numbers and other contact information). It doesn't happen if I dial a number from the phone app.

I was recently given an unlocked Blackberry Bold 9000. It is an AT&T phone, but I am using it on the T-Mobile network. For some reason, I am able to connect to WiFi, but when I do I am only able to use the internet. I am not able to use the WiFi to make calls or to send texts. My T-Mobile signal is pretty weak, so it would be nice to use the WiFi to make calls and send texts from home and work.

I'm hoping someone can help me out as ATT's website has me completely confused.As of right now, 2 people in my family have iphones and 3 others are on Sprint. I'm looking to move the 3 from Sprint to ATT in a month when their contract ends. I am trying to figure out a ballpark of what it will cost per month. I am trying to price the cost of 4 iphones + 1 normal phone. What I have come up with is:
450 Minutes for 5 Lines: 39.99 * 5 = 199.95
Unlimited Text for Plan: 20.00
Data for 2 iPhones already on ATT with unlimited data: 30*2 = 60
Data for 2 new iPhones on lowest Data Plan: 15*2 =30
Total: 310, Is this correct or am I missing something?

last week, my friend dropped my phone without it's case on a tennis court.Now the back is moving. It's weird.. It feels like whenever I touch it, the whole glass plate is going to fall off.There are many scratches on my phone and it has green and red marks all over it from the court because it scratched my phone.This is bad because it's white.I want a new phone, but my warranty ended.While I had my warranty though, I dropped my phone and I took it to the apple store and they gave me a replacement for free.So.. How much is a new white iPhone 4S without a warranty?

I have been struggling with T-mobile's indoor coverage in Sacramento, and the solution to my problem (other than changing carriers) is using wifi-calling when at home: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1680However, I didn't have any succcess setting that up. T-mobile doesn't provide any support on Sony Ericsson phones, and thus this is my last resort. Has anyone managed to get this service working with Xperia? I mean on the phone it is called "Internet calling". If so, what SIP server settings did you use?

I'm on an iPhone 4 on 5.1.1. I'm in Asia trying to send iMessages back to the U.S. because it doesn't use texting costs, but I can't get any to go through to other iPhones on 5.x in the USA. I have 3G, data and roaming turned off - do any of these affect iMessage? Whenever I go to message someone, there is no option but to send the message as a text message.

so in the beginning of march, my little brother (he's 2) was sick and cranky. i watched a couple of videos on Internet with him, but i had to remove my iphone 4 case (speck) because it kept on interferring with my internet connection (not the first time either!!!). that was probably a bad idea, because when i had tried to take the phone from him when someone was calling, he threw it on the floor. it landed on the back, and now the back glass is shattered. the phone works fine, and my stupid case covers the crack, but i really want to know the cost of getting it replaced in canada. i hear its only 29$, but i want to make sure.

I just got my iPhone 4s on a contract with the 3 network and the plan includes 5000 texts. I was wondering if it would cost extra to put a photo into an iMessage. If I was to put a photo in, it would be to another Iphone user also in the uk and on the same plan as me.

I travelled to Colombia recently and in general, had my phone either turned off, or on airplane mode the entire trip. I only used it for one five minute phone call and to listen to music for about five hours accumulated. I was there for about 8 days.
I was told to put the phone on airplane mode, so as to avoid any roaming charges, as my fellow travel companions (who all also owned iPhones), said "that way nothing comes through. No wi-fi, messages, nothing".
