Why the hell does everyone keep going on about AT&T? There's more than one network in the world you know.

If you went to one of the "pay per drink" data plans, what a great way to suck up all your gigabytes.
I don't think the wireless carriers will mind if you do this.....more money for them (unless you are on an unlimited plan). If this gets too popular, watch for Verizon/ATT to eliminate all unlimited plans.
I wonder what are those government idiots that 'legalized' jailbreak saying now?
Uh, doesn't the jailbreak cause FaceTime to stop working?
Don't see that happening. Since it's just data traffic, they'd have to start sniffing packets to see what you're doing to tell if it's a video chat, or have some reporting mechanism built into the phone app to communicate minutes and data used. I'd suspect they'll just stick to tiered data packages. Interesting to see their business model change, though, when people no longer use voice minutes and only use data.
Says the person who very likely bought a phone subsidized by the very company he's looking to screw....
i hope they do for the better of every one else...
When you sign up for an iPhone and 3G service you agree to its terms and conditions. Jail breaking is not illegal and is normally harmless. If you are willing to take the warranty and security risks, who cares? Jailbreak! However, it becomes unethical—just like stealing—if you install 3G bandwidth hogs otherwise prohibited. If you don't like the terms and conditions, don't sign up. Or even better, have the smarts and guts to create your own company and offer unlimited 3G service. Those people who follow the terms and conditions are being cheated by those who install these types of apps because they lower the performance of the 3G network.
You can already watch YouTube in wifi quality by just going to the YouTube site in Safari instead of the app. The site works much better anyway than the app.
people who are grandfathered into the unlimited plan have no worries.
Just because you people in the states have garbage network carriers does't mean the rest of the world has to suffer.
Restricting facetime to WiFi for someone living in Sweden or Denmark makes ZERO sense. ****, I think since having an iPhone in 2007 I might have dropped 5 calls in total.
