Thanks to all for the responses. Boss calls overseas a lot and has an unlimited data plan, so this coupled with the rates that we get for our VoIP calls it is much cheaper than what Verizon charges.

My own experience with my 3G provider and VOIP provider is that creating a callback or originator setup is still cheaper then using the GSM carrier (esp. long distance), has better quality (lower latency) and still works if data is not available. -- Daniel Tryba -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] Maybe slightly OT but..
Then there's also the point where it makes more sense to drop a GSM card into your Asterisk box and get a cheap unlimited mobile to mobile plan for a SIM and use that to transit your calls to VoIP. Although that won't help the original asker, though, since he mentioned Verizon.

Hello all, Does anyone know of a good free/inexpensive 3G SIP client for the iPhone? If anyone is using one that works good for them could you please let me know.

Anyhow, I doubt anyone is getting fine with ATT 3G try holding the call for more than 2-3 minutes, they have a terrible 3G network. I use them and the only reason I haven't yet dumped them is because of the ability of browsing and talking at the same time. But with the amount of garbage I have to put up with them, I doubt that one benefit is going to prevail. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

This begs the question... which is more expensive (and where)... making a regular cell call or making a SIP call over 3G ? Depends on where you're calling and your cellular LD plan. For example, an ATT World Connect (paying an addition $3/mo) call to Nigeria on my iPhone would cost me about $0.60USD/min (A non-World Connect call would be $3.50/min, so lets just go with World Connect). Patching that same call into my Teliax account via SIP over 3G would be (worst case) $0.16USD/min, assuming that I didn't go over the 2GB of dataplan that I pay for whether I use or not. Now if I don't have a data plan and have to pay the the equivalent of $25/2GB, the numbers go quite the opposite way. Using Google's calculator = (25 U.S. dollars) per (2 gigabytes) = 0.000149 USD/kilobit (note kilobit here). A G.711 call is about 80kilobits/sec each way. That comes out to 0.011920USD/sec * 2 (bidirectional). So, round to $0.024USD/sec, times 60 seconds in a minute, comes out to $1.44USD/min data + $0.16USD/min in termination. I think. My math could be off by an order of magnitude somewhere. And your mileage may vary depending on codec used. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
